Hugo and the Kikurean Sunstones is a 3D platform game in the style of Crash Bandicoot that was developed and published by ITE Media on November 3, 2000, for the PlayStation. In this game, the deep-jungle village of the otherwise cheerful Kikurians is in great danger. The volcano near the village can erupt at any moment, since the evil witch Scylla clogged the crater with a huge boulder, threatening to flood the Kikurian village with lava. To save the village, Hugo must find three magic sun stones located in three places: in an old Inca pyramid, in old mine and in Scylla's dungeons.

Now she sees her chance for all of her wishes to come true. Hugo and his friend Fernando must reach the cave before the witch does, or else he and all the trolls will be destroyed.
