[edit] Story

It has been over a decade after the events of Labyrinth when Sarah defeated the Goblin King and rescued her baby brother, Toby. Jareth the Goblin King promised not to bother Sarah again and he kept his promise, but he made no such promise about her brother, Toby. He watched as Toby grew up into a teenager, secretly giving him everything he wished for no matter how big or small. Through the years Toby did notice the strange way that all his wishes came true, but never understood the reason for them. He has no memory of the time that he was kidnapped by goblins, and has no idea of what Sarah did for him years ago.

Jareth has been watching Toby because he still intends for Toby to become his heir to the throne of Labyrinth. Time is drawing near and other individuals are eyeing the Labyrinth throne, including a mysterious Queen and the Mayor of Goblin City. Jareth eventually lures Toby back to the Labyrinth where he meets various creatures, including those that his sister encountered during her own adventure.
