M&M's: The Lost Formulas(한국어 : m&m: 더 로스트 포뮬러) is the first M&M's video game and was released on September 28, 2000 for computers such as Windows 95, Windows 98, and Macintosh by Simon & Schuster Interactive. It is a Crash Bandicoot style game, and also is optionally a game which teaches maths.[1]
Yellow is the only playable character. There are three zones on each levels, the start zone, math zone, and the end zone. Math zone is simply start/end zone only with math problems, with difficulty of the problems slightly progressing as the levels grow higher. The game has a total of 8 levels.
The game was criticised for being based on a candy product, and for being incredibly similar in gameplay to Crash Bandicoot in adventure mode. Its "Math Mode" was praised for having fun features, but not so much having problems as much as having math facts. It was also criticised for being too easy on higher difficulties. Critics did praise the graphics and controls of the game.
M&M's: Minis Madness is a game for the Game Boy Color released in late 2000 for American markets. It was rated 6 out of 10 by Nintendo Power.
M&M's: Shell Shocked was released on September 28, 2001 for American markets by Simon & Schuster Interactive.

On July 20, 2003 the game was released in Europe by JoWood Productions. This game is very similar to M&M's: The Lost Formulas except there is not a Math Zone and the name was changed.
