Sky High - In the sky flying high!

Sky High is a game in Jamaa located in Coral Canyons and Sol Arcade. It is one of the most popular games on Animal Jam.
In Sky High, you try to jump on the clouds and move left and right with the arrow keys, while dodging Phantoms and collecting gems. When you touch a phantom or miss a cloud, the game is over and you must restart. This makes the game very frustrating in a way.
Sky High is also available at the Sol Arcade as an arcade machine for your Den. It was the first game item to become non-member. Everybody can play it. When you reach the summit you see a treasure chest. Just touch it, and you get a random clothing item. For example, a police hat, or scary horns. You may also get a rare item like, a Pirate Sword, a worn blanket, a Freedom Helmet, freedom wings, Gloves, rare spiked hair, and more! Sometimes you might get an uncommon item such as Mech Angel Wings, a head feather, a Lollipop Necklace, a Clover Blanket, or a Bow and Arrows. Occasionally, you'll get a normal, colored, non member item. Sometimes, it's colored differently than normal, so non-members can get colored items without trading. Sometimes, it's a beta or a rare, but this is only once in a while.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sky High is painted to look the scene in the game, starting from the sunny bottom, to the moonlit top. It also includes one control panel and the purple game icon.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're really lucky, you may get 2 or more rares in a row.
If your avatar has wide eyes, they will sometimes disappear while playing Sky High, most likely with foxes.
If your animal has something they're wearing, it might not appear in the game but if you reach the top, the clothes of your player will appear.
Some say that the less gems you collect, the rarer the prize will be. This has not yet been proven.
This game is very popular because you can earn very rare prizes
The most common prizes in Sky High are Heart Locket, Mech Angel Wings and Moon Necklace.
Each animal jumps differently in this game.
Sky High can be directly accessed from National Geographic Kid's website under Action Games. However, the only animal that can be used is the default version of the wolf, and gems are only collected as points, and there is no prize at the end, for it is only to play the game, and is not connected to any account.

Splash and Dash - Dolphins Rule!


 Splash and Dash was first tested by members, but soon became available to non-members. You race against other players with your dolphin in this underwater game. You will win 100 gems by being in first place. You can play it in Bahari Bay and the Sol Arcade. The game is the underwater version of Jamaa Derby, however, it has four racers instead of six, and in order to speed up you must swim through three hoops in a row. Now everybody can play Splash and Dash! After winning ten consecutive games of normal mode, the player progresses to Pro Mode, which gives 150 gems upon winning and is harder. Pro mode also gives the player a gold circle with a dolphin in it instead of normal mode's silver. A non-member playing Splash and Dash will get a pink, silver, or blue dolphin (color is randomly selected). Hazards (cormorants, buoys, coral, etc.,) will slow you down. If you were previously a member dolphin, you can not use it if you are a non-member. You will have to use a temporary dolphin.

Falling Phantoms - Exploding out of a volcanoe to kill us...

Falling Phantoms is a game located in the northwest Temple of Zios, past the Chamber of Knowledge. It can also be purchased and played at the Sol Arcade. The player must dash back and forth, avoiding the flaming, falling phantoms, which is how the game got its name. There are three phases: one, where the sky is light blue and the phantoms are small and few; two, where the phantoms get larger and the sky gets orange-red; and three, where the phantoms are huge, fall in large groups, gem bonuses appear, and the sky is a dark crimson. Which means the sky changes in the game. Falling Phantoms is one of the best sources for gems in Animal Jam, especially if you're great at it! The maximum number of gems you can get is 400, by lasting until the timer stops and collecting all the gem bonuses. By dying on the first round ahead of anyone else, five gems are usually awarded. This game is very popular, and you have to be very quick and speedy so you wont get hit! You also have to have good reflexes to dodge the phantoms fast enough.

The achievement 'Dome' is one of the four mountain types, it is where the magma doesn't erupt, but creates a dome like shape.

Like Jamaa Derby and Splash and Dash, this is a game where you play interactively with a set number of players. If not enough regular players go on one game session at a time, like the previous games, the computer will play along as well.
In the adventure Greely's Inferno, there are falling phantoms that look similar to the ones in this game and have the exact same sounds as they fall.

Jamaa Derby - Yee Ha!

The Jamaa Derby is a horse racing game. Members can use their own Horses, but those without a horse, or non-members, use a brown or tan horse of varying shades. non-members can still play, though, as the race is not limited to Members. It can be found in Jamaa Township, Sol Arcade, and the Horses Only Party. There is a 'pro' version.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls:
You click or press space to jump, and there are three carrots, that you click to give you speed boosts.  Like Falling Phantoms, computer players will automatically join if it takes too long for actual players to join. Its quite easy to distinguish these computer players because if there are more than 2 slots open for computer players, they will all instantly join at the same time. In addition, computer players have no fashion sense and wear random assorted gear and colours, randomly use emotes while in the middle of the race, and will randomly use their boosts instead of formulating a strategy. The winner earns 100 gems. There is also a trophy and blue ribbon that floats near your avatar after you win it. Sometimes, players can tie for first place. If you won 10 races or more, you can play professional. If you play in "Pro" mode, the winners increase to 150 gems for first place. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you get the Stallion achievement by winning 10 times, you will unlock pro. The only differences are: Grey selection and the bottom, harder, and more obstacles in between. You are also paid more gems when in a high rank.
Strategies. 1. Use your carrots early. Some use up their carrots early, but others close in from behind and sneak up on the others.
2. A good strategy is to use carrots whenever you get caught in a obstacle, but if there's a long straight area, you might want to take advantage of your carrots because there are no obstacles to slow you down
3. Another good tip to keep in mind, is to use a maximum of 2 carrots, and use your final carrot near the end of the race when theres a opponent in front of you to catch them by surprise.
4. Use a carrot in a obstacle so you don't loose as much ground.
5. Use the space bar to jump and use your mouse to click the carrots.
6. Save all carrots until the middle. Make sure you jump over each and every obstacle. 
7. Use all carrots when you see the longest obstacles coming up.
In conclusion, after the race, the horses dance with their normal "dance" animation.
