He's selling his friends to various zoos throughout the coubtry. Armed only with a bow and arrows, Tiki goes to the rescue! The New Zealand Story is a cutesy Platform Game with very extensive and maze-like levels, quirky enemies and obstacles, and some features which were not very common at the time (and still are not today, of course the world of videogames has changed a lot), such as Tiki's ability to pilot a wide variety of vehicles and to come Back From the Dead by escaping Heaven. It received a "remaquel" titled The New Zealand Story Revolution for Nintendo DS in 2007, which was basically the same thing, except for various minigames that took advantage of the double screen. Also, you had to first find the key for your fellow kiwis' cage and then the cage itself, which led to much annoying backtracking. This game was not well received.
