One day, an eleven-year-old boy named Andy discovered an old book called "The Secrets of the
Amazing Island" stashed away in a dusty storeroom.
The story was an ancient
picture book that told all
about a mysterious island
where incredible creatures
lived together happily. Andy
found it fascinating!
Our story begins one night,
after Andy has fallen asleep…
"Help us!" A voice called. "Won't you save us from
our fate?"
Before he knew it, Andy
found himself floating
above an ancient island.
Moments later, he began to
fall. As he landed on the
ground, he woke up from
his dream, but the world he
woke up to was not the
world he had known before.
Amazing Island™ is a one to four play-
er game. Connect the NINTENDO
GAMECUBE™ Controller to Controller
Socket 1 for one player, or to
Controller Sockets 1 to 4 for up to four
players respectively.

After Lagu, the Elder, and the other Maboo had finished explaining, Andy agreed to try and save
Amazing Island from Black Evil.
“The only one that can
oppose Black Evil and his
Eviling sidekicks, is a monster created with a pure
heart.”
Andy went to the Hall of
Life that sustains the
Maboo, and from the
Water Mirror created
a monster in his own
image to form a per-
fect partner.
“Before attempting to
defeat Black Evil, there are
a series of trials that must
first be cleared, and a host
of Evilings that must be
defeated.”
Take control of Andy and help him to create his partner monsters, clear the trials, defeat Black Evil, and
save Amazing Island!
WHAT IS AMAZING ISLAND?
The legendary "Amazing
Island" exists somewhere in
this world. It is a peaceful
island inhabited by the Maboo
tribe and the fantastic monsters they created.
One day however, trouble found its way to
Amazing Island. The dark magician "Black Evil,"
harnessing the negative power of the human
world, overwhelmed and took over the island.
One by one the Maboo fell under his grasp, until
finally the whole island was his. With Black Evil
in charge, even the human world isn’t safe.
One of the few remaining Maboo named Lagu
called out for help from the human world. Only
one with a pure heart can respond to the call...
