About This Game
Features six distinct zones with unique enemies and environmental hazards. Toki's signature spit attack can be upgraded to fireballs, lasers, and other power-ups collected throughout levels.
Notable for its 'body horror' transformation cutscenes showing Toki painfully morphing between human and ape forms. The arcade version's vibrant visuals and large character sprites stood out in 1989.
The game's difficulty was notorious, with limited continues and precise platforming required. Its quirky premise and memorable soundtrack helped it gain a cult following despite the challenge.
