WolduWarriors: Hooga Hijinks

WolduWarriors: Hooga Hijinks is an action-adventure/role-playing game and a spin-off of the WolduWarriors series, produced by Nintendo and developed for the Nintendo Switch in 2017.

In this game, the Hooga Hoogas are banished from Woldumar after a lawsuit declares them too scary for the premises. As a result, Joe, Jixx, Jarl, and Mo must find their way home and brave a variety of unknown and intense locales, all while accidentally stumbling upon and awakening an ancient demon.

Plot
The story begins with Joe, Jixx, Jarl, and Mo peacefully enjoying a sunny afternoon on Hooga Hooga Island. The relaxation is interrupted when Lena appears with a tall, tuxedoed gentleman, who introduces himself as Tungsten Wolf and says that the Hooga Hoogas must be cleared out of the area due to "renovation." After a quick battle, Tungsten overpowers the Hooga Hoogas and launches Joe, Jixx, and Jarl out of Woldumar with a makeshift bomb, while Mo manages to escape back into the underground tunnels.

Joe, Jixx, and Jarl are separated by the bomb blast and land hundreds of miles away from each other. Jarl finds himself on a distant island called Sand Dune Cove. After he explores the land, capturing wildlife for food and creating a shelter, he disrupts and accidentally awakens an aggressive creature called a Sand Turtle. Jarl manages to defeat the Sand Turtle and uses a raft service to travel back to the mainland, stopping at a nearby fishing town called Duneport. After interrogating the locals and getting into a scrap with some delinquent kids, Jarl finds out from a newspaper that Tungsten Wolf is planning a full-scale overhaul of the Woldumar grounds that involves getting rid of "savage beasts," including all the Triapodons and Hooga Hoogas, as they were declared too scary for the premises. Jarl vows to find Joe and Jixx, return to Woldumar, and take his home back from Tungsten Wolf.

Jarl leaves Duneport and ventures into the surrounding woods, known as the Twilit Treetops, as dusk falls. He stumbles upon a village of woodland-dwelling creatures called Flufferbushes, who are living in fear of a creature called the Shadow Snatcher that steals one of them from their homes each night. Jarl is hesitant to take on this quest and would rather just go home, but the Flufferbushes promise him a full-service feast featuring the finest cheeses if he defeats the Snatcher, which he's unable to pass up. He braves the deepest parts of the Twilit Treetops to get to Crunchy Cave, where the Snatcher reportedly lives. After a brief altercation, Jarl meets the "Shadow Snatcher" who is actually Bushford, a lonely pariah Flufferbush who has abducted the other villagers in an attempt to make friends. When Bushford refuses to back down, Jarl notices Joe among the kidnapped and beats up Bushford to rescue him and the villagers. Joe and Jarl reunite, head back to Flufferbush Village with a severely injured Bushford, and enjoy a feast courtesy of the mayor.

After the feast, Jarl fills Joe in on the newfound information and the two continue on in search of Jixx and a way home. They travel to the Reallybadlands, a barren wasteland stretching miles in every direction. Dodging the traps and enemies of the land, they eventually encounter a sleazy saleswoman named Griftina and her assistants, a giant fluffy creature named Pinky and Jixx herself. Griftina boasts that she has mind-controlled Jixx to do her bidding with a custom-made helmet. Joe and Jarl defeat Griftina and Pinky and destroy Jixx's helmet without hurting Jixx herself, and after the victory, Jixx finally rejoins the team. The three continue on through the Reallybadlands and make it to a camping outpost, where they are surprised to find a caravan of fellow Hooga Hoogas. The leaders, Julp and Juzzle, welcome the heroes and feed them what appear to be Rainbowberries. The berries, actually poisonous, incapacitate the three and Julp and Juzzle reveal themselves to be cannibals. They throw the three into the dungeon of their Hooga Hooga Palisade to prep for a late-night dinner. However, Joe, Jixx, and Jarl brave the traps of the dungeon and defeat the cannibals.

They escape to the edge of the Reallybadlands and witness a shining metropolis up ahead. While trying to enter the city, they're stopped and accosted by a team of Triapodon security guards and realize they're in Triapolis, a city populated entirely by their rival species, the Triapodons. The security guards kick them out and Joe, Jixx, and Jarl decide to create a makeshift Triapodon disguise out of scraps from Julp and Juzzle's junkyard. In their new disguise, the three bypass security through an alternate entrance and prepare to hitch a ride home through the Triapolis Airport. When Jarl tries to impress a lady Triapodon in line, however, the disguise breaks and the three must flee for their life. They are captured by security once again and taken to Triapodaniel, the city's despotic leader. A massive brawl ensues between the three Hooga Hoogas, Triapodaniel, and his bodyguards and the Hooga Hoogas narrowly eke out a victory. A Triapodon guard begrudgingly tells them that the quickest way to get to Hooga Hooga Island is through the nearby Slumbering Bay, and they narrowly escape with Triapodaniel on their tail.

Meanwhile, Tungsten Wolf has fully taken over Woldumar and turned the campers into workaholic business drones. Mo and Tibblum, still hiding underground after all the other Hooga Hoogas have been disposed of, decide to start building a flying machine in order to escape and rescue their friends. - dream port (Slumbarine Bay), Somnus invasion
