[edit] Gameplay
The Gameplay is an obstacle course with a timer counting down. Tak and Lok try to reach the exit with the least time possible. The score depends on the time, items collected and enemies defeated. The game can either be played one player who switches between Tak and Lok or by playing two player with a friend each controlling a character with a horizontal split screen.
[edit] Characters
Tak is a young boy who is the hero of the Pupanunu people discovered in the first game. Tak is somewhat care free and is the brains of the two. Tak is skilled in the ways of magic and attacks with a glowing staff like weapon. Tak uses a "throw" attack for long ranged enemies as well as summoning spirts to attack enemies.
Lok is the 2nd hero of the game. Most of the time Lok truly is an idiot. He constatnly embarrasses Tak while trying to be cool. He dosn't have any magic like Tak, but his strength is unmatched. He attacks with a giant mallet which does a great damage to enemies. He can carry Tak and throw him up in the air to get items or platforms out of reach. For some reason fish don't like him. This would be the first game where he's a playable character.
Jibolba is the shaman of the Pupanunu people. He runs the "Shaman Shack" where Tak and Lok go for a break. His appearances aren't as common as the other two games.
The Moon Juju provides the winners of the Great Juju challenge with blessings for 60 years, no matter what they are.
Other Jujus At the end of the round, a random Juju will appear and give either Tak and Lok a new ability, Health, Mana or weapon upgrade. The Juju's usually do it in a funny yet ridiculous way.
[edit] Teams
The Great Juju Challenge has 4 teams with 2 people a team. The team names are of the tribe that there from.
Pupanunu This is the team Tak and Lok are on. This is the only team that is playable.
The Blackmist The Blackmist is not friendly and only win rounds unfairly. They seem to be very full of themselves. When they win, they say that there plans are to use the Moon Juju's power to destroy Tak and Lok's village.
JibbaJabba The 2 members of the JibbaJabba tribe seem to only talk in hip hop sounds. They never do say anything else, so Tak and Lok have no idea what they are saying.
Gramazon The Grammazons look like beautiful warriors on the outside, but are in fact old women with young bodies. There name means Grandma Amazon.
