The glorious 4.0 Update is here! When you come in, the first thing you notice is that Dreamstate and Hidden Realm funkeys are walking around Funkeystown. Go near the Library and the beginning storyline pops up... Mayor Sayso is acting a bit strange. The biggest surprise ever to me was that ANY funkey can go to the Hidden Realm. That's because of what's there. More on that in a bit...
The "Guide"s name is Kane. The Villain's name is Kane. Yep. The guide is the Villain too. Here's what it looks like when you come in...
The Hidden Realm was formerly called "The Perilous Verge", home only to a new tribe of funkeys called The Oni...
...Anyway, the Oni King's name is Sidd. That guy with the sword is Kane. Now then, back to the story. During the great Funkey Wars of the Funkazoic Era, The Perilous Verge was in conflict on all sides. The Oni were working desperately to drive off the advancing horde of the army of the evil King Kahn. Seeing no other choice, King Sidd had all the paths leading to the Perilous Verge destroyed, and had Kane unleash the Gauzian Blur, which obscures and confuses, to further sheild them. As King Sidd would come to find, the other funkeys united under King Funkenkahmun and defeated King Kahn. With the Perilous Verge shrouded in the Gauzian Blur, and no contact from the Oni, King Funkenkahmun believed that the Perilous Verge and the Oni had been lost to the advancing hordes... The Perilous Verge had become a Hidden Realm. Likewise, with no contact from the other funkeys, news of the wars end never reached the Oni. So, they had built the Oni Dojo in order to train their warriors in preperation for a battle they thought would some day come.
As the years passed with no contact from the outside world, King Sidd began to wonder if there was something more to the funkey exsistance. So he climbed to the highest point of the Hidden Realm, sat under a Bohdi tree, built a telescope, and took a look around.
He returned to the Oni Dojo a changed funkey. He had seen all the funkeys living in harmony... And he realized that nothing mattered if you didn't share it with others. But, as he says, "Enlightenment cannot just be given, it must be earned. You cannot become, if you simply say what you would've done." To achieve this, he built the Enlightening Gates (More on those after the story), sent his Airship to Funkeystown, put Kane in charge, and closed the gates.
To open the Enlightening Gates you need to stand on each plate in front of it, each as a different funkey. At the end of the path you will find King Sidd and his Telescope. You can use the Telescope to see into any zone except the Hidden Realm and Angus Manor (More on Angus Manor in Holiday Mania Part 3.)
On the way through the Enlightening Gates there are some neat activities and three different games- And one is Multiplayer! Here are some of the neat activities:
And the best thing for Mayor Sayso owners who don't have Dot- Mayor Sayso can now enter the Dot Spot and shop there! :D
And so concludes Holiday Mania Part 1, which took two sessions to write. -_-' Whew!
