Destination Software's first GameCube title stars a kangaroo named Max in a 3D platform game that begins in a dilapidated circus in a state of neglect. Max was hoping to see the famed circus where his father used to perform, but now he must undo a terrible curse placed upon the festival by a vile character known only as the Ringmaster. Armed with a magic staff imbued with his father's spirit, Max hops into action using his powerful hind legs and special magic found within the mystical staff. Should Max overcome the various traps and deadly attractions placed in his path, the circus will be freed from the clutches of the Ringmaster once and for all.
