''Tak and the Power of Juju'' is a 2003 video game made by Creator/{{THQ}} and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, and UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. It got two sequels: one in 2004 known as ''VideoGame/Tak2TheStaffOfDreams'' and the other in 2005 called ''[[VideoGame/TakTheGreatJujuChallenge Tak: The Great Juju Challenge]]''. The franchise was later adapted into a short-lived Franchise/{{Nicktoon|s}} with two extra tie-in games in 2008 called ''VideoGame/{{Tak and the Guardians of Gross}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/TakMojoMistake Tak: Mojo Mistake]]''.

No, this is not related to Jujubes candy, nor to the [[NamesTheSame Tak]] from [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim another Nicktoon]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In Jibolba's flashback of Lok getting smooshed to death, he states he tried to stop the herd of sheep but he couldn't; throughout the game, Tak can carry the sheep at will. This hints that Tak [[spoiler:is the true mighty warrior as stated in the prophecy.]]

Fortunately, a prophecy foretold by previous Pupanunu shamans predicts that Tlaloc will be thwarted by a mighty warrior who will save the Moon Juju and bring peace back to the tribe; Jibolba is convinced that the mighty warrior is his other apprentice, Lok (Creator/PatrickWarburton). Unfortunately, Lok has seemingly also been turned into a sheep by Tlaloc, forcing Tak to go on a series of {{Fetch Quest}}s in order to turn Lok back to normal.

Unfortunately, Tak's home is put in jeopardy by Tlaloc (Creator/RobPaulsen), a nefarious and power-hungry shaman who seeks revenge on the Pupanunu people after losing the coveted position as High Shaman to Jibolba. To achieve his vengeance, Tlaloc steals the moonstones which are the source of the Moon juju's power, using them not only to weaken the Moon Juju but also to turn the villagers (sans Tak and Jibolba) into mindless, helpless sheep.

Notable for being the only video game produced by Nickelodeon Games that was not based on an already-existing animated series on Nickelodeon, the game tells the story of Tak (Creator/JasonMarsden), a young shaman-in-training who lives in the jungle village of the Pupanunu People under the tutelage of the wise shaman Jibolba (Creator/JohnKassir). For years, the Pupanunu have lived a peaceful existence thanks to the protection of the Moon Juju, a powerful tribal goddess and a member of a race of powerful magical spirits called Jujus.
