[edit] Story Line

The game revolves around Bolt, an agent from Canewood's Lab. On his first research expedition he discovers some rare Karakuri robots known as Tokobots.

Bolt makes use of the Tokobots to explore the prehistoric ruins found in the game. The Tokobots mimic Bolt's actions, and can be used together in "joint actions".

Bolt must discover the secrets of the ruins in order to save the world from a horrible evil.

Bolt uses the Tokobots to do complex tasks and can even fuse the Tokobots together to make Karakuri combinations that can do almost every thing from activate dead gears to shoot laser beams.

There are two types of Karakuri robots, Keepers and Workers. Workers do odd jobs while Keepers protect the ancient ruins. Each type has a range of enemies of different sizes. With the workers there are small Clunkers and the large Tornader! The Keepers include tiny Beepers and the evil Zero ! Bolt fights plenty of both types.

There are three human villains in the game. They each battle Bolt with large Karakuri robots. First there is Flames. Her robots are Chocoroc, Tankaloo, and Purple Chocoroc. Then there is Bart. He fights with Torcherer. He also owns a robot called O-EDO but, he isn't in the game. Then there is Colonel Fuel, who is a renegade scheme master! He battles with Tornader and Battleby.

Bolt unravels an evil mystery about a prototype Tokobot named Zero! Zero is a gigantic planet destroying robot programmed for evil. Bolt has to find and destroy Zero before it can destroy his world.

[edit] Tokobot Plus

The Playstation 2 version of the game is known about Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri. Added to the game are secret platforming sections that allow players to access hidden treasures.

In addition, players no longer have control over the Overdrive forms, instead they just briefly appear, attack, then disappear.
