History VideoGame / Tak2TheStaffOfDreams

After saving the Pupanunu people from the machinations of the evil shaman Tlaloc (Rob Paulsen), and gained the title of the 'Mighty Warrior', Tak (Jason Marsden) has found himself taking a ''sixteen-day'' slumber, where a "Dream Juju" guides him on a quest to seek out a powerful artifact known as the Staff of Dreams and rescue an ambiguous princess from a monster known as the Guardian. After Jibolba (John Kassir) and Lok (Patrick Warburton) manages to wake Tak up, the former suggest that he and Tak seek the help of his brother JB (Jeff Bennett) to figure out the source of these elongated dreams. Little do our heroes know, however, that a nightmare (no pun intended) from their past is cropping up to plot their revenge...

* BigBad: The Horrible Beast. [[spoiler: Actually, Tlaloc.]]

* NeverTrustATrailer: Or a box cover at least. Tak never actually uses the Staff of Dreams throughout the game due to it breaking in two when he struggles with Pins and Needles for it.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Dream Juju has a sheepish voice very similar to [[spoiler:Tlaloc]].

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The first half focuses on the story, while the second half focuses on gameplay.
