Tumble Dillo (Video Game)

Tumble Dillo is a platform game developed by Toshiko Games for the PC, starring the eponymous armadillo. It centers around a hyper-intelligent armadillo who must defeat an evil monkey scientist to save his island home and the world.

Gameplay
Tumble Dillo is a fairly standard 3D platformer. Worlds are divided into six levels each: four standard levels, a level where Tumble can ride an animal (either Arf the Sea Lion, Java the Rhino, or Big Al the Albatross), and a boss stage. Tumble can collect objects by destroying cages. Tumble's two main attacks are a standard claw swipe and Ball Dillo.

Ball Dillo
Tumble can curl into a ball, which increases his speed but makes him harder to control. He can also roll down ramps in this form, as well as bounce up and down to reach high platforms. In this form, the attack button performs a rolling charge attack.

Story
Doctor Bobo was once a simple, stupid lab test monkey at Splice Industries, drooling and throwing feces around the room. The scientists subjected him to an experiment to increase his intelligence. However, he turned to the side of evil after realizing what he was capable of without the scientists holding him back. He broke out of captivity and overthrew his captors. To improve his physical prowess, Bobo created a bionic hand for himself. He then set out to create a team of hyper-intelligent animals to rule the world. Professor Heinzstein, a Common Potoo who was experimented on alongside Bobo, decides that something must be done. This leads him to create his own hyper-intelligent creation: an armadillo named Tumble. He also takes the time to create three animals to assist Tumble: a sea lion, a rhino, and an albatross. Tumble sets off across the 6 islands, defeating Doctor Bobo's team of hyper-intelligent animals. He is eventually defeated by Tumble. He was ejected out of his giant robot, causing him to land on top of a geyser that launched him into the air while burning his fur off.
