Angelica Pickles is the star of her own fashion show. Choose outfits, hairstyles, make-up and accessories to enter the fashion show. Several of the Rugrats characters will judge her and award points, these points are very important to unlock new levels of the game. So make sure she looks her best before getting up in front of the judges!

The fashion show is located at the mall so you will enter the mall on the first floor and go in search of shops to play mini games to earn items needed for the fashion show. Once you have required some items head over to the fashion show (one located on each floor), choose a new look for Angelica and send her down the catwalk for judging. Continue this process until you have earned enough points to unlock the elevator to the second floor. There are six floors in all so I suggest a memory card to save levels, as it will take a lot of points to eventually reach the six floor.

This game is not all about Angelica, although I am sure she will want you to think it is! The familiar cast of characters from the Rugrats show play host to the mini games you need to play to gain items for Angelica. Tommy will have you catching cookies, playing hide and seek and trying to smash the pi-ata. Phil and Lil will be collecting bugs and frogs; Chuckie will test your memory in a color game. Kimi wants you to play follow the leader, Cynthia has her own fashion show where you must remember what outfit she was wearing. And last but not least Fluffy is playing pinball with a ball of yarn. Lots of little activities to test your skills.

Although this game is clearly designed with girls in mind, it has a lot to offer to boys. Rugrat fans of any gender can enjoy all the mini games and the boys will get past the fact that the fashion show is only a means to an end. My nine-year-old son started playing the game and before I knew it he was making comments such as, "Look Mom! Doesn't Angelica look nice? This should get me a lot of points from the judges." This from a boy who only plays with dinosaurs and bugs.
