Item Description

Somewhere in the jungle, a whole village has been turned into sheep, and the only hope is a scrawny shaman's apprentice who would rather not be the hero. Tak and the Power of Juju opens with Tlaloc, an embittered shaman passed over for the top job, weakening the Moon Juju and transforming the Pupanunu people into livestock. The shaman Jibolba believes the mighty warrior Lok is the chosen one of prophecy, but Lok seems to have been turned into a sheep too, and the job falls to young Tak instead.

Avalanche Software built a classic collect-and-explore 3D platformer around that setup, with a sense of humor that keeps it moving. Tak jumps, fights and works with the jungle's animals to get past obstacles, scooping up pickups and hunting for secrets tucked around each area. Once he earns the Spirit Rattle he can call on the powerful Juju spirits for help, and Jibolba's ever-growing to-do list, gathering one hundred magic Yorbels and retrieving Lok's spirit after an unfortunate run-in with a stampede of sheep, sends him across jungles, mountains and temples. Jason Marsden voices Tak, and Nickelodeon's involvement shows in the cartoon timing of the cutscenes.

The game launched a series, with sequels including Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams and Tak: The Great Juju Challenge, and it caught on well enough that Nickelodeon later turned it into an animated television series. This is where all of that began, and for anyone who grew up with the show or remembers Tak's goofy charm from the era's platformer boom, the original GameCube adventure is the best way to meet him.

About the game

An ancient prophecy foretells that the Moon Juju, the kind protector of the Pupanunu people, would be weakened by the evil Tlaloc, an embittered Pupanunu shaman, so he could turn the Pupanunu people into sheep as revenge for not being made high shaman in favor of another shaman, Jibolba. The prophecy also mentions a great and mighty warrior who would restore the Moon Juju, defeat Tlaloc, and bring peace to the Pupanunu people. Having escaped Tlaloc's spell, Jibolba believes his apprentice Lok to be the warrior of the prophecy and prepares to send him off; however, it appears that Lok has been turned into a sheep. Jibolba sends his younger apprentice, Tak (voiced by Jason Marsden), to find magical plants and change him back, though it turns out not to be Lok. Jibolba tells Tak to obtain the Spirit Rattle, which allows the wielder to communicate with powerful Juju spirits to assist him, while he finds Lok. Tak returns with the Rattle to find that Lok has been trampled to death by a herd of sheep. Jibolba has Tak collect 100 magic Yorbels and Lok's spirit from the spirit world, allowing him to successfully resurrect Lok.
