History VideoGame / AmazingIsland

* NintendoHard: Some of the obstacles and HundredPercentCompletion (stupid monster cards).

''Amazing Island'' is a video game developed by Hitmaker/Ancient and published by Creator/{{Sega}} for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube. In it you play as a boy or a girl and are whisked off to Amazing Island after reading a book. Upon your arrival, the place is covered in a fog and under the rule of the Black Evil.

* GuideDangIt: The only stat ever given an outright explanation is Stamina where certain games outright have a stamina gauge. And while Speed, Power, and Weight can easily be worked out, Mind's usefulness is much harder to understand. It mostly affects the Angle Meter in relevant minigames.

%% * CopyProtection: Waterskip Slider is apparently unwinnable on emulators, due to forcefully capping the player around half of the maximum speed on the ramp. However, playing on an actual console has just about any monster be able to hit full speed with little difficulty and successfully complete the mini-game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRQ47FSizjI Case in point.]]

** There's also, absolutely no explanation on what any of the hundreds of customization items do.

* ImaginationBasedPower: Humans' imagination is the key to creating monsters and saving the island.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Accessories, palettes, etc.

* BattleTops: Spin Break and its upgrades.
* BigBad: The Black Evil.

''Amazing Island'' is a video game developed by Hitmaker/Ancient and published by Creator/{{Sega}} for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube. In it you play as a boy or a girl and are whisked off to Amazing Island after reading a book. Upon your arrival, the place is covered in a fog and under the rule of the Black Evil. Of course, you're supposed to save the island and its residents or the world of Amazing Island will fade into nothingness. Using the power of imagination, you create a monster to participate in obstacle courses to recover the lost orbs and become strong enough to defeat the Black Evil.

The game comprises two features, a rather open-ended monster creator/editor and the obstacle courses, mini-games.

The game comprises two features, a rather open-ended monster creator/editor and the obstacle courses [mini-games].

* JustForFun: A lot of people would rather mess around in the monster creator (like [[Series/XPlay putting the eyes on the monster's knees]]), not knowing [[GuideDangIt the stat bonuses of the items, frames and everything else]]. Not as if it matters much.

The game got sub-par rankings amongst critics, but it's still a rather fun title to play, especially for US$10.

* JackOfAllStats: Dinosaur, Dargon-Man, Hero, and Bunny frames are overall average, though some have outliers and the bunny is overall [[JokeCharacter pretty bad]].

* LightningBruiser: The Worm frames are heavy and have bothe good Power and Speed stats, but are abysmal elsewhere.

* Mighty Glacier: The Macho, Giant, Evil Beast, and Evil Spirit are all powerful and heavy, though the evil spirit sacrifices some power for Mind.
