SKW OddWorld (Future Series)

Luigi: Oddworld. Odd and Creepy as usual.

Kaden: Can't agree more.

Mudokon person: HELP!

Sonic: (Runs over to the Mudokon) Hey, are you alright? What's happening?

Mudokon: H-H-H-Heartless! In the village! In the ruins! They took our Messiah!

Sora: They took Abe?!

Mario: Do you know where the Heartless might've taken him?

Mudokon: I don't know! They disappeared with him like into air!

Drayke: With that information, the Heartless could've taken him anywhere!

Sora: Well, if it's Gula, he'll probably go somewhere where there's plenty to chow down on.

Mudokon: I know! Try the Diner Street in the Glukkon area! There's restaurants everywhere there!

Sonic: Thank you. We promise to get Abe back.

End Cutscene, as we head into gameplay.

Oddworld is a dry planet with relatively little water compared to Earth, and there are no large oceans. Instead, the surface of the planet consists of countless large craters. During its primordial ages, the planet's magma layer shrunk in size several times, leaving three distinct crusts on the surface of the planet. Over time, parts of these crusts collapsed, creating enormous craters and caverns below the surface of the planet. Oddworld has a total of three such layers, making for a total surface area about ten times larger than that of Terra II (Sly's Earth) even though the planet itself is roughly the same size. Some of these craters house massive cities, such as Nolybab.

The surface layer of the planet has a variety of different climates, ranging from vast deserts to lush forests, jungles, and icy mountains. Naturally-formed pressure wells are found all around Oddworld and may be directly connected to the deeper caverns below the surface crust, with the pressure differential causing strong winds or vacuums. The Big Well in particular appears to run deep into the planets surface. And with that Open World description out of the way, the Soul Princes head for Diner Street. One of the street signs reads "Flavortown." People in the food business should get the reference… It's absolute chaos on Diner Street, and the Soul Princes have to clear Heartless out of the restaurants. One by one. Abe isn't in any specific one, he's always in the last one the player rescues. "Abe!"

Abe turns around.

"Princes. You're too late."

DARK-GUARDIAN OF SPIRT

GULA-POSSESSED-ABE

And we head into a boss fight. Sora is trying to get through to him. It isn't working. The fight is almost like a classic LEGO game boss fight, as you have to gather locals of the planet to have any hope of stunning him. Rayman clearing buildings of Darkness is needed to do this… don't worry, as Soul Prince of Shadow, he can handle it. Eventually enough strength is gathered to literally punch the Sin out of Abe, similar to Knuckles punching the Super Form out of Sonic in the Sonic 3 intro.. and we head into cutscene as Sonic speaks. "Are you OK, Abe?" "I've been better. It was as if someone was controlling my mind." "Worse than slavery?" "You can make that argument." "Well, it's a good thing that you're better now. Think you can finish things here yourself? We still need to go check on Crash…" Abe nods. "Been through worse." "Good to hear."

At the landing site, the Soul Princes prepare for takeoff as Sora looks off, nervous about the state they're leaving things in.

"They're going to be fine, Sora. You just have to believe in them." "I hope you're right." Ratchet comes over. "Looks like we're ready to leave."

"Next stop, N.Sanity Island!
