The Emperor's New Groove is a platformer in which the player controls Kuzco from a third-person perspective, progressing through a linear succession of levels based on locations from the movie. The primary goal of the game is to get to the end of each level without losing all health.
Throughout the levels are placed several coins. Collecting all coins in a level rewards the player with a large gold coin and is necessary for 100% completion. To achieve this, the player is usually required to defeat enemies and uncover secrets within each level.
Some levels involve Kuzco drinking magic elixirs, turning him into a frog, a turtle, or a rabbit, each with specific abilities needed to complete the level.
The PlayStation and PC versions of The Emperor's New Groove loosely follow the plot of the movie, from which they also include several cutscenes at the start or end of certain levels. Emperor Kuzco has been transformed into a llama by his evil advisor Yzma, who has subsequently taken over his throne. Kuzco befriends the peasant Pacha and together they seek to confront Yzma and her henchman Kronk to obtain an elixir that will return Kuzco to his human form. There are some characters that do not appear in the movie, such as an unnamed boy riding a llama-shaped bike who throughout the game challenges Kuzco to a race.
Argonaut Games founder Jez San noted that the game's development team tried to keep the game's plot and setting close to that of the movie while also "exaggerating some elements of the movie that would make great game scenarios", specifically pointing to the scene in the movie with the roller coaster leading to Yzma's laboratory, which played a minor role in the movie but was made into a much larger aspect of the game.
The PlayStation and PC versions of The Emperor's New Groove were developed using the same game engine as Croc 2, following Argonaut's common strategy of reusing game engines and development tools from their previously created games. Argonaut developed The Emperor's New Groove at the same time as Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge, another 3D platformer also built from the Croc 2 engine. The Emperor's New Groove shares many graphical and gameplay similarities to Nasira's Revenge as a result of this.
Before its release on the PlayStation, Argonaut believed that The Emperor's New Groove had potential to be updated and re-released on upcoming next-generation consoles, but an updated game was never attempted. The PlayStation version's voice acting and subtitles were localized into nine languages for the PAL region.
Demo versions of The Emperor's New Groove on PlayStation were exhibited at the European Computer Trade Show in September 2000, alongside other upcoming games from Disney Interactive.
A DVD-Rom demo of The Emperor's New Groove was included on the DVD release of the game's respective movie counterpart, accessible by inserting the DVD into a PC.
In 2010, the game was ported to the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable as a PS one Classic digital download on the PlayStation Store. In 2012, the game was also made downloadable for the PlayStation Vita.
The PlayStation version received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
Writing for video game news website IGN, Jeremy Conrad compared the gameplay of the game to the games in the Spyro the Dragon trilogy of games, noting the similarities in controls and gameplay style. Conrad stated that the game "doesn't offer anything that we haven't seen before" and criticizing the game's difficulty and short length, while praising the gameplay for its variety and "spot-on" controls and also praising its graphics and music and highlighting the game's self-aware dialogue as an enjoyable aspect.
By August 2001, the PlayStation and PC versions of The Emperor's New Groove had together sold 400,000 units, which Argonaut Games deemed as disappointing. As a result, the game did not generate any royalty income for Argonaut during the year following its release.
