[edit] Story
The plot for the game is a twist on the usual "Save the world" stereotype for many platform games, however it is believable due to the main protagonists character and thus is generally accepted by the player. One evening, Taz's father is telling an intriguing tale. Somewhere on Tazmania is a Lost Valley, and in that valley nests a huge seabird, so huge that one of its eggs could feed a family for a year. Taz becomes fascinated by the prospect of the potentially large omelet and leaves in search of one of those eggs. However in his haste he leaves before his Dad has finished the story and thus does not know exactly where to go. The player must direct Taz through 5 stages in search of the Lost Valley and its Giant Bird.
[edit] Items / Objects
There are a few items and pickups such as;
Spring: Boings Taz up to high ledges
Blocks: Destructible with a spin attack. Usually contain secret areas with 1-UPs/Chickens however some are natural and unavoidable obstacles to completing the level
1-UP: Extra life
Star: Invulnerability from enemies but not from bombs or Taz from falling off the bottom of the screen.
Bomb: If Taz eats one it blows up in his stomach in a typical Looney Tunes fashion.
Chicken: Gives Taz some health back, much to his visual delight.
