Tonko 4

Tonko 4 marks the series' departure from single-screen to a 3D action game with very light platforming elements. The titular yellow goblin must traverse fairly straightforward 3D stages, dispatching or avoiding enemies in his way. Tonko's default weapon is a spiky mace, replacing the trademark hammer from the previous entries. The goblin's health is measured in hearts. Stars and metallic balls can be collected; the former increase the score, while the latter lead to bonus stages.
