To return to the title screen at any point during gameplay, simultaneously press and hold the A, B, X, Y, and START buttons.This will cause the Dreamcast to soft-reset the software and display the title screen. Power Open Button VMU Button Port C Port A Port D Port B The Fatty Tribe Big, brawny, and (perhaps excessively) beefy,the Fatty Kahuna really packs a wallop when he hits an opponent with a Shrunken Head. His size makes him a little slower getting around, but he more than makes up for it by having the best throwing arm of all the Kahunas. · Power - Good, Endurance - Fair, Speed ­ Poor · Special Power: The Fatty Kahuna can carry more Shrunken Heads , and can swat and throw much harder. Story and Characters Introduction In a far away corner of unexplored ocean,mysterious island arenas magically rise from the sea. Ooga Booga,a powerful Volcano Goddess, creates these arenas so that the four tribes of the region can compete to appease her, thereby winning Ooga Booga's favor for their tribe. Each of the four tribes sends a Kahuna,their greatest witchdoctor, to battle for the favor of Ooga Booga. The Hoodoo Tribe Floating, foul-tempered masters of Mojo, the Hoodoos' physical bodies have been corrupted by their use of dark magic.The Hoodoo Kahuna is an expert spell caster. However, he is physically the weakest of the Kahunas and is especially susceptible to thrown Shrunken Heads, which can send him hurtling across the island. · Power - Poor, Endurance - Good, Speed ­ Fair · Special Power: The Hoodoo Kahuna never loses Shrunken Heads when hit, and they can claim Tikis at half the cost. The Twitchy Tribe Fast, feral and flea ridden,the Twitchy Kahuna has a special connection to the beasts of Ooga Booga islands, making them easier to charm. The beasts are also less likely to attack the Twitchy Kahuna when they run across him on the island. · Power - Poor, Endurance - Fair, Speed ­ Good · Special Power:The Twitchy Kahuna gets a longer ride on boars and birds. 2 3 Heads, Spells and Animals The Hottie Tribe The hard-bodied Hotties are the Amazonian Warrior Maidens of Ooga Booga,and their Kahuna,though not as strong as the Fatty Kahuna of the Ten Ton Tribe, is able to run much faster and is overall the most balanced of the Kahunas. · Power - Fair, Endurance - Fair, Speed ­ Fair · Special Power: The Hottie Kahuna is resistant to fire;if she is on fire, it goes out in half the time. Shrunken Heads Collect Shrunken Heads to throw at your opponents. Shrunken heads literally grow on trees on Ooga Booga.When they fall to the ground, you can collect them by running over them. Spell Tokens Pick up the Spell Tokens that Ooga Booga erupts from her volcano in order to use these powerful spells. Mines Ooga Booga As the Kahuna (witchdoctor) of your tribe, you must battle to ensure that your tribe remains the favorite of the Volcano Goddess. To battle, you'll need to gather Shrunken Heads and spell tokens, and to use the birds, boars and Tikis around the islands to your advantage. Ooga Booga's Mines spell is treacherous.When any Kahuna steps on a Mine, they'll be blown across the island. Be careful, though,because you can set off your own Mines if you step on them.Mines you have planted will pulse in your team's color, while enemy Mines won't pulse at all. Fireballs Fireballs can be fired across the island bouncing off of anything they hit.Kahunas that get hit by a Fireball cannot do anything until they put themselves out.You can douse the flames by running into the water, or the fire will burn out on its own after a few seconds.Your own team's Fireballs won't harm you. Holding B down while casting Fireball allows you to aim; releasing B casts the spell. 4 5 Lightning Lightning will strike any Kahunas within range in the area in front of you when cast. It will stun them for a moment, holding them in place and then throwing them free. Lightning can also chain-strike Kahunas who stand too close together, arcing back and forth several times between them. Lightning Cloud Like Tornado, Lightning Cloud is a very powerful spell that you can't control once you cast it. The cloud, once cast, will slowly drift across the island, zapping any Kahunas (friendly or enemy) that wander into its range.Cast it and clear out! Homing Head A Homing Head must lock onto an enemy Kahuna before it can be fired; once fired, it will chase after its target,flying around corners if necessary, to try to hit them. To fire a Homing Head, hold down B to enter aiming mode,then use the Analog stick to look around.When you lock onto an enemy, the crosshairs will turn green; release B to fire. If you lose lock at the last moment, you won't fire.When you fire a Homing Head you'll get a chase view as it streaks towards its target. Meteor The Meteor spell calls forth Ooga Booga from her volcano sanctuary, from which she sends down a shower of flaming boulders. These will smack around any Kahuna unlucky enough to be caught within the shower - including you! Stand back and watch the fun erupt! Tornado Once you cast Tornado, you have no control over it, so watch out.It will seek out and suck in any enemy Kahunas, carrying them along with it for se veral seconds before spitting them out.A Tornado that you cast will never chase you down,but it will suck you in if you get too close to it. 6 7 The Creatures of Ooga Booga Creatures of Ooga Booga The Creatures of Ooga Booga Three types of creatures inhabit Ooga Booga's island arenas, and you can use them as weapons in your fight for her fa vor. Tikis Tikis are magical carvings that Ooga Booga places around the island at the start of a round (though some games may not use Tikis).When they first appear, they are neutral and asleep.You can claim your first Tiki by offering it 10 Shrunken Heads (5 for Hoodoo),and it will begin to attack enemy Kahunas and Tikis for you.To claim a Tiki press A when you are next to one. Each additional Tiki costs five more Shrunken Heads than the last one. Boars To ride a Boar,stun it with a Shrunken Head or a swat, then jump on its back by pressing A when you are near it.A meter will appear at the bottom of the screen showing how long the boar will remain stunned;the more damage the boar takes while you're riding it,the shorter your ride will last.You can't cast any spells or throw heads while riding a boar, but you can do a lot of damage to your opponents by ramming them with the boar. Fireballs, Lightning and Tornadoes will immediately knock you off a boar. You can press B at anytime to get off a boar. Birds Like boars,the birds of Ooga Booga can be stunned by hitting them with a Shrunken Head or swatting them.Stun a bird,then grab it by pressing A when you're near it.Once you're on a bird,attack your enemies by shooting homing heads at them:use the analog stick to aim, X to shoot heads,and A to increase your altitude.Beware:the more you shoot,the shorter your ride will be,so use your shots sparingly.The meter at the bottom of the screen will show you how much ride time you have left.You can make a bird drop you at any time by pressing B. 8 9 Game Types Game Types In order to appease Ooga Booga you'll compete in three different games, with slightly different rules for each. At the end of every round, the Kahuna with the highest number of points scored wins the round.Tokens are then awarded as follows: 1st Place 2nd Place 3rd Place Last Place 3 Tokens 2 Tokens 1 Token 0 Tokens SmaKahuna The rules to this one are simple:Hit your opponents before they hit you! Pick up Spell Tokens and Shrunken Heads and use them to attack the other Kahunas. Each time you hit an enemy you score points, depending on which attack you used. Thrown Head Swat Lightning Mine Fireball Homing Head Tiki Hit Tornado Lightning Cloud Meteor Destroying enemy Tiki Boar Hit Bird Hit =1 =2 =1 =2 =2 =2 =2 =3 =1 =2 =3 =2 =1 Tokens determine who wins the game. Note that if you have fewer than four players, the last place scoring Kahuna never receives any points. The first Kahuna to score enough Tokens wins the game.You can change the number of Tokens needed to win a game in the Skirmish Set Up Screen. Rodeo In Rodeo you can only score points when you are riding a boar. Every time you hit an opponent while riding, you get 2 points. If you knock an enemy off a boar then you also score 1 point. At the end of every round, the Kahuna with the highest score wins that round and receives Tokens. The game is over when a Kahuna scores the necessary number of Tokens. Boar Polo Boar Polo is played in special arenas where the object is to drive a gigantic ball down the field and into your team's goal.But your opponents are trying to do the same thing.You can move the ball a bit by swatting it, or by throwing heads at it, but the fastest way to move the ball is by driving it with a boar. Every time you drive the ball through your opponents' goal, you score 1 Token. 10 11 Controls Controls Ooga Booga is a one to four pla yer game.
