Which critter would win in a brawl: a kangaroo or a bandicoot? Okay, so Kao the Kangaroo doesn’t really answer that wild wildlife wondering, but it does take a lot of leaves out of the Crash Bandicoot series. Adorable Aussie marsupial as the leading lad? Check. Platform, puzzling, and occasional biffing? Yup. Remastered vers of an ancient game? You betcha! In Kao, there are all kinds of chaos to encounter as you hunt for Kao’s missing dad. As a kangaroo, Kao is great at jumping and tail thumping, but he’s got extra tricks up his lack of sleeves. Like, superpowered boxing gloves. Oh, he can also even swing by his ears. Plus, you’ll need to crack puzzles and snatch treasures to help Kao get the most out of Kao. This wonderfully wild world is packed with a kooky cast of characters. Make besties, fight foes, and get the jump on this joyful jaunt!

DID YOU KNOW?

The original game was also called Kao the Kangaroo – no fancy “Remaster” name for this new vers! It came out 20+ years ago. The perky platformer series scored two sequels. Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 in 2003 and Kao the Kangaroo: Mystery of the Volcano in 2005.
