Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle is a video game for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS consoles. It is based on the Danny Phantom episode "Urban Jungle". It is the second video game based on the series (Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy being the first), with both being based on episodes.
Players play the role of Danny Phantom in his adventure to save Amity Park from various ghosts from the show.
Plotline[]
Danny, Sam, and Tucker are preparing to have a movie night when what seems to be an earthquake suddenly shakes Fenton Works and Undergrowth suddenly appears. Danny Goes Ghost but is unable to defeat Undergrowth. Danny then decides to go into the Ghost Zone and search for a way to defeat Undergrowth there. In the Ghost Zone, he meets Frostbite, who teaches Danny how to use his ice powers.
When Danny returns from the Ghost Zone, Tucker runs into the Fenton Works' Lab in a panic and tells Danny that Sam has been taken away by Undergrowth in order to turn her into his "plant girl". Danny then fights and defeats a plant-clone of Sam and then carries the real Sam back to safety. After the fight, Sam reveals she found what seems to be the core of Undergrowth.
Before anything else can happen, Danny suggests keeping the core for safe-keeping in Walker's Prison. Sam and Tucker decide to accompany Danny in the Fenton Flyer (remade Specter Speeder).
Upon reaching Walker's Prison, inmates of the prison bump into Danny and steal the core. Walker appears and "bargains" with Danny to have him capture the escaped inmates for him. During the fight in the prison, the Lunch Lady Ghost and Technus manage to escape.
After battling Youngblood's pirate ship, Danny, Sam, and Tucker head back to Amity Park. When they return, Danny is zapped into the Internet by Technus and then must battle three of Technus' forms.
Danny manages to escape the Internet and winds up at Casper High. Sam finds him and reveals that the Lunch Lady Ghost has turned Tucker into the Meat Monster.
Danny's troubles aren't over after defeating Tucker, however, for the Lunch Lady Ghost and Undergrowth have teamed up to create Meat-N-Potatoes. Danny must then defeat all three ghosts to finally save Amity Park and enjoy a movie night with his friends.

Trivia/Goofs[]
- Danny's emblem appears on his costume during his flashback of his battle with the Lunch Lady Ghost. During Danny's first fight (and the only one featured in the show) with the Lunch Lady Ghost, Danny did not yet have the emblem. (When Sam placed the emblem on his suit, she had not gone back in time, therefore it was not possible that he had it on at the time of the fight.)
- At one point, this game was going to have console ports and would be a 3D Action Adventure game. However, the console ports were later scrapped, and the game was only on the GBA and the Nintendo DS.
