INSERTING THE DISK
Before turning the Dreamcast Power ON,connect the controller or other peripheral equipment
into the control port of the Dreamcast. To return to the title screen at any point during
gameplay, simultaneously press and hold the A,B,X,Y, and START buttons.This will
cause the Dreamcast to soft-reset the software and display the title screen.
Story and Characters Introduction
In a far away corner of unex p l o red ocean,mys terious island arenas magically rise from the sea.
Ooga Booga,a powerful Volcano Goddess, creates these arenas so that the four tribes of the
region can compete to appease her, thereby winning Ooga Booga’s favor for their tribe.
Each of the four tribes sends a Kahuna,their greatest witchdoctor, to battle for the favor
of Ooga Booga.
The Twitchy Tribe
Fast, feral and flea ridden,the Twitchy Kahuna has a
special connection to the beasts of Ooga Booga
islands, making them easier to charm. The beasts
are also less likely to attack the Twitchy Kahuna
when they run across him on the island.
• Power - Poor, Endurance - Fair, Speed – Good
• Special Power:The Twitchy Kahuna gets a
longer ride on boars and birds.
3
The Fatty Tribe
Big, brawny, and (perhaps excessively)
beefy,the Fatty Kahuna really packs a
wallop when he hits an opponent with
a Shrunken Head. His size makes him a
little slower getting around, but he
more than makes up for it by having
the best throwing arm of all the Kahunas.
• Power - Good, Endurance - Fair, Speed – Poor
• Special Power: The Fatty Kahuna can carry more Shrunken Heads , and can swat
and throw much harder.
The Hoodoo Tribe
Floating, foul-tempered masters of Mojo, the Hoodoos’
physical bodies have been corrupted by their use of dark
magic.The Hoodoo Kahuna is an expert spell caster.
However, he is physically the weakest of the Kahunas
and is especially susceptible to thrown Shrunken Heads,
which can send him hurtling across the island.
• Power - Poor, Endurance - Good, Speed – Fair
• Special Power: The Hoodoo Kahuna never loses
Shrunken Heads when hit, and they can claim Tikis at
half the cost.

The Hottie Tribe
The hard-bodied Hotties are the Amazonian Warrior Maidens of
Ooga Booga,and their Kahuna,though not as strong as the
Fatty Kahuna of the Ten Ton Tribe, is able to run much faster
and is overall the most balanced of the Kahunas.
• Power - Fair, Endurance - Fair, Speed – Fair
• Special Power: The Hottie Kahuna is resistant to fire;if she is
on fire, it goes out in half the time .
Ooga Booga
As the Kahuna (witchdoctor) of your tribe, you must battle to ensure that your tribe
remains the favorite of the Volcano Goddess. To battle, you’ll need to gather Shrunken
Heads and spell tokens, and to use the birds, boars and Tikis around the islands to
your advantage.
Shrunken Heads
Collect Shrunken Heads to throw at your opponents.
Shrunken heads literally grow on trees on
Ooga Booga.When they fall to the ground, you can
collect them by running over them.
Spell Tokens
Pick up the Spell Tokens that Ooga Booga erupts from her volcano in order to
use these powerful spells.
Mines
Ooga Booga’s Mines spell is treacherous.When any Kahuna
steps on a Mine, they’ll be blown across the island. Be careful,
though,because you can set off your own Mines if you step on
them.Mines you have planted will pulse in your team’s color,
while enemy Mines won’t pulse at all.
Fireballs
Fireballs can be fired across the island bouncing off of anything
they hit.Kahunas that get hit by a Fireball cannot do
anything until they put themselves out.You can douse the
flames by running into the water, or the fire will burn out
on its own after a few seconds.Your own team’s Fireballs
won’t harm you. Holding Bdown while casting Fireball
allows you to aim; releasing Bcasts the spell.

Heads, Spells and Animals

Lightning
Lightning will strike any Kahunas within range in the area in front of
you when cast. It will stun them for a moment, holding them in place
and then throwing them free. Lightning can also chain-strike
Kahunas who stand too close together, arcing back and forth several
times between them.
Homing Head
A Homing Head must lock onto an enemy Kahuna befo re it can be
f i re d ; once fire d, it will chase after its targ e t,flying around corners if
n e c e s s a ry, to try to hit them. To fire a Homing Head, hold down Bto
e n ter aiming mode,then use the Analog stick to look aro u n d.W h e n
you lock onto an enemy, the crosshairs will turn gre e n ; release Bto
f i re. If you lose lock at the last moment, you wo n’t fire.When you fire a
Homing Head yo u’ll get a chase view as it streaks towa rds its targ e t.
Tornado
Once you cast Tornado, you have no control over it, so
watch out.It will seek out and suck in any enemy
Kahunas, carrying them along with it for se veral seconds
before spitting them out.A Tornado that you cast will
never chase you down,but it will suck you in if you get
too close to it.
7
Lightning Cloud
Like Tornado, Lightning Cloud is a ver y
powerful spell that you can’t control once
you cast it. The cloud, once cast, will slowly
drift across the island, zapping any Kahunas
(friendly or enemy) that wander into its
range.Cast it and clear out!
Meteor
The Meteor spell calls forth Ooga Booga from her volcano
sanctuary, from which she sends down a shower of flaming
boulders. These will smack around any Kahuna unlucky enough
to be caught within the shower - including you! Stand back
and watch the fun erupt!
The Creatures of Ooga Booga
Three types of creatures inhabit Ooga Booga’s island arenas, and you can use them as
weapons in your fight for her fa vor.
Boars
To ride a Boar,stun it with a Shrunken Head or a swat, then
jump on its back by pressing Awhen you are near it.A meter
will appear at the bottom of the screen showing how long the
boar will remain stunned;the more damage the boar takes
while you’re riding it,the shorter your ride will last.You can’t
cast any spells or throw heads while riding a b o a r, but you ca n
do a lot of damage to your opponents by ramming them
with the boar. Fi re b a l l s, Lightning and Tornadoes will immed
i ately knock you off a boar. You can press Bat any t i m e
to get off a boar.
Birds
L i ke boars,the birds of Ooga Booga can be stunned by hitting
them with a Shrunken Head or swatting them.Stun a
b i rd,then grab it by pressing Awhen yo u’re near it.O n c e
yo u’re on a bird,attack your enemies by shooting homing
heads at them:use the analog stick to aim, Xto shoot
h e a d s,and Ato increase your altitude.B ewa re :the more
you shoot,the shorter your ride will be,so use your shots
s p a r i n g l y.The meter at the bottom of the screen will show
you how much ride time you have left.You can make a
b i rd drop you at any time by pressing B.
8
Tikis
Tikis are magical carvings tha t
Ooga Booga places around the
island at the start of a round
(though some games may not use
Tikis).When they first appear, they
are neutral and asleep.You can claim
your first Tiki by offering it 10 Shrunken
Heads (5 for Hoodoo),and it will begin to attack
enemy Kahunas and Tikis for you.To claim a Tiki press
Awhen you are next to one. Each additional Tiki costs
five more Shrunken Heads than the last one.

Game Types
In order to appease Ooga Booga you’ll compete in three different games, with slightly different
rules for each.
SmaKahuna
The rules to this one are simple:Hit your opponents before they hit you! Pick up Spell
Tokens and Shrunken Heads and use them to attack the other Kahunas. Each time you hit
an enemy you score points, depending on which attack you used.
Thrown Head = 1
Swat = 2
Lightning = 1
Mine = 2
Fireball = 2
Homing Head = 2
Tiki Hit = 2
Tornado = 3
Lightning Cloud = 1
Meteor = 2
Destroying enemy Tiki = 3
Boar Hit = 2
Bird Hit = 1
Game Types
11
At the end of every round, the Kahuna with the highest number
of points scored wins the round.Tokens are then awarded
as follows:
1st Place 3 Tokens
2nd Place 2 Tokens
3rd Place 1 Token
Last Place 0 Tokens
Tokens determine who wins the game. Note that if you have fewer than four
players, the last place scoring Kahuna never receives any points.
The first Kahuna to score enough Tokens wins the game.You can change the number of
Tokens needed to win a game in the Skirmish Set Up Screen.
Rodeo
In Rodeo you can only score points when you are riding a boar. Every time you hit an
opponent while riding, you get 2 points. If you knock an enemy off a boar then you
also score 1 point. At the end of every round, the Kahuna with the highest score
wins that round and receives Tokens. The game is over when a Kahuna scores the
necessary number of Tokens.
Boar Polo
Boar Polo is played in special arenas where the object is to drive a gigantic
ball down the field and into your team’s goal.But your opponents are trying
to do the same thing.You can move the ball a bit by swatting it, or by
throwing heads at it, but the fastest way to move the ball is by driving it
with a boar. Every time you drive the ball through your opponents’ goal,
you score 1 Token.
