display in the clubhouse, showing how many times players have ascended the mountain. From this point, players may exit the clubhouse and start again from the bottom of the mountain. When a certain number of treasures have been deposited into the castle's treasure chest, players will go up a star rank. At higher ranks, the game becomes more difficult, as there will be more treasures to find, harder riddles to answer, and elves that steal magical coins by using elf dust. Development Treasure series Treasure Mountain! is the first of four games in The Learning Company's "Treasure" series along with Treasure Cove!, Treasure MathStorm!, and Treasure Galaxy!. The "Treasure" series is a subgroup of the company's Super Seekers games. All the games in this series are math and reading comprehension oriented educational adventure games aimed at younger children. Games in the treasure series all have the same three stage gameplay format where a special object, whose location can be deduced by answering questions, is needed to reach the next stage.

The theme heard in the outdoor levels is a combination of two of Beethoven's contredanses, WoO 14: No.1 and WoO 14: No.3. The theme heard in caves comes from the first movement of J. S.

Later versions In 1994, a version with enhanced sound and graphics was released on CD-ROM. In 1997 an updated version of the game was released on CD-ROM (version 2.0 Mac/2.01 Win) with even better graphics.
