Toad Turf

Toad Turf is a multiplayer shooter for up to 16 players, with free-for-all and team-based modes. You play as toads, fighting with weapons and power-ups while dodging attacks and hopping across platforms. Matches support online or LAN play, with split-screen available across all options.

Weapons and power-ups

You collect weapon hats placed around each map; picking one up puts that hat on your character. Each weapon has its own damage, range and ammo, and some have special projectile effects or different ways to attack. For example, holding the fire button with the grenade launcher increases the grenade’s travel distance, while pressing it with the sword and shield swaps their positions.

Power-up boxes also appear around maps and apply a randomized effect for a short time when collected. Effects can help or hinder players, affect allies or enemies, or change the map. The box types work as follows:

• Yellow and Green Globe Box: applies a positive or negative effect to all players, or an effect to the map.
• Thumbs Up Box: gives a positive effect to you and your allies.
• Red Diamond Box: gives a negative effect to enemies.
• Question Mark: applies a random effect.

Maps and movement

The game includes over 20 maps. In Micro mayhem world, the toads fight on tables and kitchenware after being shrunk down, with the risk of falling off. Leaping Lava world places them in a volcano, where they must watch their footing and stay on high ground. Sloppy Swamp world turns the toads’ usual home into a battlefield.

Toads cannot jump fully on their own, so you use jump pads to gain height over opponents or reach areas of a level. The maps also feature lilypads that act as bounce pads, along with giant structures that make the toads seem small on the battlefield.

Game modes

Free for all awards the win to the player with the most points when time runs out. In Team Death Match, players are assigned to teams, and the team with the most points at the end wins. A campaign mode in progress has players trying to reach an end flag, either by working together or against one another.

Team play and customization

You can customize team sizes and power-ups. The game allows different team arrangements, including four teams of four or eight teams of two, and also supports matches with an odd number of players. Its graphics and controls draw on the style of sixth-generation console games.
