THE GAME

About The New Zealand Story

Tiki searches sprawling maze-like stages to rescue Phee-phee from a leopard seal. Balloons provide a way to float through the route, adding another form of movement to the platforms and enemies between the kiwi and the goal.

CONTROLS & OBJECTIVE

How to play

  1. Use the movement, jump and attack controls to explore the maze.
  2. Take advantage of balloons to reach difficult areas and work toward the captive at the stage exit.

Game and objective

The NewZealand Story follows Tiki's attempt to rescue Phee-phee from a leopard seal.

Taito's 1988 arcade adventure sends the kiwi through maze-like stages filled with enemies and obstacles. Balloons give Tiki another way to move through the air while looking for the route onward.

How to approach the game

Navigate maze-like stages and use balloons to move through the air on the way to each goal.

Look ahead before jumping into a crowded passage, and use the extra height from a balloon to explore routes above the platforms. Keep track of hazards along the path rather than concentrating only on the exit.
