Gameplay
The objective of Treasure Mountain! is to find the hidden treasures and return them to the chest in the castle at the top of the mountain.
The mountain consists of three levels. Players cannot climb higher until they have found the key to unlock the next level. To find the key, players must get clues about its location by answering elves' riddles. When players use a net to capture an elf carrying a scroll and answer the riddle correctly, they will receive a clue consisting of a number, shape, or description about where the key to the next level is hidden, as well as any magical coins the elf is carrying.
Story
Treasure Mountain! as well as the other "Treasure" games in the Super Seekers games, take place in a magical realm called Treasureland. The game takes place on a mountain called "Treasure Mountain". Treasure MathStorm!, a later release, takes place on the same mountain.
As the game opens, the Master of Mischief, a common antagonist of The Learning Company's Super Seekers games and the counterpart of antagonist Morty Maxwell in the Super Solvers games, steals the kingdom's crown and hides all of the castle's treasures. The player takes on the role of the Super Seeker once again, whose job is to find the treasures and remove the Master of Mischief from the throne.
Reception
Treasure Mountain! has received mediocre to positive reviews. Computer Gaming World gave the game four out of five stars, calling it "an easy-to-play, visually appealing, non-violent arcade-style game for beginners" with some reading ability. Lisa Savignano of Allgame gave the game 4.5 stars out of 5 stating that "Treasure Mountain may be somewhat repetitive, but each level will impel the kids to go onward until they finally get all 300 treasures and win the game...the game can be played over and over again".
Abandonia users gave more mediocre reviews, but said that "collecting toys and getting to the next level can be somewhat addicting".
