Toki: Going Ape Spit, known in Japan as JuJu Densetsu (ＪｕＪｕ伝説), is a Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by Santos and published by Sega. An expanded port of the titular 1989 TAD Corporation arcade title Toki, the game was first released in Japan in January 1992, and features additional levels not present in the arcade version.

The English title of the game is a juvenile pun on the phrase "going apeshit".

Story

The protagonist of the game is a muscular, loincloth-wearing, Tarzanesque tribesman named Toki (JuJu in the Japanese version), who up until recently lived a primitive yet contented life in the jungles of a vast and wild island in the South Seas. This all ends tragically when the beautiful Wanda (Miho in the Japanese version), princess of Toki's tribe of jungle men and potential suitor to Toki, is kidnapped by the genetic engineer Dr. Stark (the witch doctor Vookimedlo in the Japanese version). Wanda is taken to a vast golden palace at the summit of the island, which Vookimedlo has conjured up for himself to reside in.

The wicked shaman then casts a spell to transform all the human inhabitants of the island into various animals and beasts, before they can defend themselves against the evil magic. Toki himself is transformed into a Geeshergam, one of the ape-like minions of Dr. Stark. Fortunately, the great warrior discovers that he is still in control of his own faculties and as an unexpected side effect of the spell cast on him, he can breathe fire and shoot forth various projectiles from his mouth. Toki then sets off on a quest to pursue and defeat Dr. Stark, rescue the princess Wanda, and undo the curse which has befallen the island.

Gameplay

Toki is a platform game played as Toki. Toki walks with and . He crouches with and crawls with and . He can attack enemies by jumping on top of them with or by spitting energy balls at them with or . Toki can fire straight, diagonally upward, or straight upward. He can also fire while jumping or crouching. His shot can be enhanced by power-ups, though their effect is temporary. He can climb vines with and .

Toki dies from one hit by an enemy and restarts at the beginning of the area. Areas are timed, and Toki also loses a life by running out of time. Extra lives can be found in the levels and are also rewarded at certain point thresholds. The player can pick the difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard, or Hardest), the number of starting lives, the number of continues, and the point thresholds for extra lives in the options before starting the game.

History

Legacy

In October 2009, independent developer Golgoth Studio announced a remake of the arcade version featuring high definition hand-drawn graphics and new ambient sounds. It missed its original 2011 release and was considered vaporware for years before eventually being released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018 and the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 in 2019.

Versions

The Mega Drive port differs significantly from its arcade forebear. It has entirely new levels, many of which are based on the arcade levels but expanded. Levels are now divided into three separate areas; the beginning of each area acts as a checkpoint. The Mega Drive version has more detailed graphics and darker, less saturated colors. The arcade version has different power-ups, including a defensive American Football helmet. The arcade original was roughly 20 minutes long, while the Mega Drive version is about 60 minutes long.

Stage 1 seems to miss a raster scroll effect. Bushes and trees are reflected in the water, but the ripple effect (as seen on the title screen) is missing. Stage 6 features a heavy flashing effect. In the original, the tips of the crystals in the background blink slightly brighter, while on the Mega Drive, the whole background flashes in strong white.
