Iggy's Reckin' Balls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iggy's Reckin' Balls is a game that was developed exclusively for the Nintendo 64 console by Iguana Entertainment and was published by Acclaim Entertainment. It involves a set of ball characters with faces and unique personalities that race around a series of vertical obstacle courses in order to win medals. The characters use grappling hooks to climb to other platforms and to attack other players. Power-ups are scattered throughout the 100+ courses, which equip the players with temporary special abilities. Up to four players can participate. Modes of play include Arcade, Mix-up, Time Trial and Battle. There are a total of 8 characters to choose from immediately (Iggy, Q-Tee, Narlie, Amanda, Chatter, Charlie, Sonny, and Rob-ERT), with an additional 9 hidden characters that can be unlocked later. The title of the game is named after the iguana ball, Iggy, who is the main character. Iggy represents the developers mascot, an iguana.

[edit] Trivia
- Originally, Charlie was to be the main character of the game (Charlie's Wrecking Balls) until Iguana Entertainment decided to use their company mascot instead.
- The game data was squeezed into a 4MB cartridge, which was considered small at the time when compared to the majority of other Nintendo 64 titles that relied on 8MB cartirdges.
