About

Galactic Taz Ball is a 2010 adventure game developed by WayForward Technologies exclusively for the Nintendo DS, featuring Looney Tunes characters the Tasmanian Devil and Marvin the Martian. The premise follows Marvin's scheme to strip Earth's landscapes and transplant them to Mars for aesthetic purposes, during which he inadvertently captures Taz. Players guide the Tasmanian Devil through a series of unusual worlds, using his signature spinning ability to navigate and combat obstacles. The story progresses toward a confrontation with Marvin's giant robotic cat. The conclusion sees Taz mistaking a drumstick-shaped rocket — actually piloted by two Instant Martians in cameo roles — for food, spinning inside it and riding it back to Earth, where the craft explodes and deposits him beneath the tree where his ordeal originally began. The game draws on the slapstick sensibility of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons throughout.
