How it plays
How does Toki play?
Toki is viewed from the side across a sequence of scrolling platform stages. The objective is to reach each stage's exit, defeat or avoid enemies, collect useful items, and confront bosses at the end of major areas.
The player moves, jumps, and fires projectiles from Toki's mouth. Shots can bounce and are useful against enemies positioned on platforms or walls. Progression depends on learning enemy patterns, choosing safe routes, and conserving lives through hazardous jumps and boss encounters.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Toki?
Learn the timing of enemy attacks before committing to jumps, especially in narrow passages and vertical sections.
Use bouncing shots to attack enemies around corners or on different elevations, and avoid rushing into bosses until their movement patterns are clear.
Prioritize safe landings over speed. Many deaths come from unseen hazards or jumps made while an enemy is approaching.

Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Watch the full jump arc before moving toward a narrow platform; Toki's momentum can make corrections difficult.
- 2
Bouncing projectiles are effective against enemies that cannot be reached with a direct shot.
