Gameplay

You play as Tiki the kiwi, whose friends have been kidnapped by a giant walrus. and shoot arrows and other weapons, and jumps.

Version Differences

Mega Drive

The Mega Drive port of The NewZealand Story is unique in that it was based on a prototype revision of the Japanese arcade board, leading to radically different level designs which lack the on-screen map for navigation. There are also fewer levels; 13 versus the 20 seen in other ports.

This version is considered to be harder, as Tiki takes less time to drown underwater while enemies are faster and more aggressive.
