Released in December 1997 by Japan Supply System, Chameleon Twist was one of the first Mario 64 clones to hit the N64. The game stars chameleon/human hybrids that can use their tongue in any way you can imagine. Everything revolves around their long, sticky appendages -- it's difficult to get far without using them to solve a puzzle or conquer an obstacle. The goal of the game is rather nebulous; get to the end of each stage and be confused about the lame Alice in Wonderland references.

Actually, the game isn't so bad, it's just very mediocre. It has very original ideas in regards to the use of the tongues but the game is too short, has little or no replay value, and a lot of people will be put off by the horrible graphics. So just watch me beat it in 14:40...talk about a short romp. You only have to beat four stages (out of six) to complete the game.
Tell me that in the caves of Jungle Land you can't help but say "TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS! EVERYDAY!" That's what I thought. But now tell me why the first boss is an ape with Johnny Bravo's head. Tell me.

I don't want to say this game is random, but let's say I found a LOT of ways to fail horribly in pretty much every room that involves spinning violently around wooden poles with your tongue, usually a new one each time. Poor Linda, suffering from so many potential euphemisms.
