The regular levels are already difficult enough (we were starting to feel the pressure towards the end of world three and beyond), so having these extra tough offerings will no doubt please those looking for a serious challenge.ĭespite being at this relatively high level, it has to be said that Toki Tori’s difficulty is hard in the ‘right’ way. The beauty of this is that it enables you to play around with some trial and error runs if you can’t envisage the perfect path messing up isn’t a problem when you can simply undo your last steps.Įach of the five worlds on offer has a set of regular levels to complete, alongside optional ‘hard’ and ‘bonus’ levels, both of which will stump even the most well-practiced puzzle minds out there. By holding down the ‘Y’ button, you can rewind each level to the point where you feel you made a mistake, and then simply carry on from that point. This could have been a very frustrating experience indeed, but an incredibly welcome rewind feature actually turns it into one of the game’s highlight features.
It doesn’t take long for things to get a little trickier, though, with many levels turning out to be deceptively tough you’ll soon find that each power-up you have must be used in exactly the right place on the level and, if you accidentally use a bridge instead of a block right at the start, you might find that you’re one bridge short right at the end. The first few levels are extremely simple, with menus popping up to teach you how the various power-ups work and to enable you to get a true sense of what needs to be achieved. Luckily for him, and for you, each level gives you a limited amount of various power-ups (such as a teleport, bridges, and blocks) which must be used to make your way around. The catch is that he has no jumping, flying, or fighting abilities, meaning that a slow waddle is almost all you have to move around. The game tasks you with guiding Toki Tori around multiple levels split across five worlds, collecting all of your egg-siblings along the way. Over time, the core foundations of the game have remained true to those from its earliest form, albeit with some useful enhancements and fresh coats of HD paint, but it still stands out as a very rewarding – and very tricky – puzzle game. Toki Tori was originally released way back in 2001 on the Game Boy Color (and you can actually grab this edition right now on the 3DS Virtual Console), before seeing re-masters of sorts appear on the Wii and Wii U.
If these latest versions are the first you’ve seen of the titular little chicken, and you’ve therefore never played the first entry, you might be surprised to learn that this game is very different to its newer counterpart. Nintendo Switch has been treated to lots of Toki Tori love just recently the end of February saw a re-release of Toki Tori 2+ with some very welcome new features, and now the original game has found its way to the console, too.
