Checkpoints are statue-like objects in the game, which, when Kuzco runs through them, and says "Checkpoint!". These checkpoints are areas that, upon dying, the player starts from again.
The amount of lives the player has are displayed in a crown-shape above the game screen. The crown has five main areas. Once all are diminished, the player starts the level over again.
The 'No Touching' rule in the movie applies to Kuzco in the game. Whenever a guard, bug, bird, plant or other creature touches him, he loses a life. He also loses a life if he touches water or falls off platforms into the nothingness. To regain lives, there are full-life refills (large gold crowns) and one-life refills (small red crowns) that help keep the life supply up and running. In the video game, there are also purple toys which appear in different levels at various times. These are called wampies. If you obtain a wampy,this means when you lose all your lives in the crown's five main areas, you will stop at the last checkpoint of the game, instead of the level started over again.
Kuzco Idols are red objects that help open doors. To open a door, the player must get these Kuzco-Heads, which are called red idols. The palace door has a gold Idol. Guards with red helmets carry red idols.
