But after examining the game's files, I found out that the game appears to have all of the content for the other grades too - including the extended content that was previously assumed lost. The thing is, it's not normally accessible while playing, because the game automatically assumes you want to play the second grade version and assigns you to that level right from the start. It turns out that content isn't actually lost - because the "Field Trip Adventure" re-release actually contains all of the content for the preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade versions too. Since JumpStart never formally re-released the preschool-1st grade versions, this meant that the extended content for them became lost media. Then, in 2003, the full second grade version was re-released as "Field Trip Adventure" as part of the Advanced series. Previously, the perception of JumpStart Around the World was that in 2000, it was released for preschool-second grade, and there was extended content for the game that could be downloaded online for a period of time.
