The Munchables

The Munchables is a free-roaming 3D platforming game where the player controls one of two available characters, also known as the Munchables, as the name implies. The player must traverse the seven islands of the planet Star Ving in an attempt to free them from the control of the Tabemon monsters. Each island of Star Ving is broken into three levels: the first mission revolves around the player exploring the environment and eating monsters, usually with a certain goal such as eating all of a certain type of monster, or traveling to a specific location on the map. The second mission always involves traveling to a certain point in the level to defeat a particularly large and powerful monster referred to as the "Leader Pirate". Finally, the third mission involves the player fighting a Boss Pirate, powered up by the island's Legendary Orb, which must be defeated in order to successfully reclaim that island.

During the levels in The Munchables, the player controls their Munchable with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The player can choose between Chomper or Munchy to play as (as well as Robo once the player has completed the game), each character possessing different strengths and weaknesses. The characters in the game can move, jump, and eat enemies based around foods such as fruits, vegetables, desserts, and even robots in order to grow and become stronger. Each character also possesses a rolling attack, initiated by pressing the B button, which allows them to knock back smaller foes and take down enemies that are too large to eat, splitting them into multiple smaller versions of the enemy, which can then be eaten individually.

Star Ving, a planet that has many islands which are all connected together by rainbows, is the home of the Munchables, spherical, food-loving creatures with unsustainable appetites, who are all led by the mysterious "Great Elder". Each island of Star Ving contains a "Legendary Orb", a magical object that provides plenty of food for the Munchables, but one day, a fleet of UFOs invade Star Ving and steal all of the Legendary Orbs one by one. A UFO then unleashes masses of "Tabemon monsters", space pirates who are trying to rule the universe, all over the islands to destroy everything in their wake. Oddly, these monsters all appear to look like various foods, much to the Munchables' liking. The Great Elder decides to use this to his advantage and goes with two distinct Munchables, named Chomper and Munchy, to explore the islands of Star Ving, devour the Tabemon monsters, and retrieve all of the Legendary Orbs.

Over time, the main villain of the game starts to show himself, and becomes wary of his minions being defeated. The Great Elder realizes who the villain is over time as well, and starts to fill in the player on his suspicion. Despite this, the heroes and villains do not actually meet until the final island, Mount Brim. There, the villain turns out to be Don Onion, a Tabemon monster who leads the entire race.

The Munchables received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one eight, one seven, and two eights for a total of 31 out of 40.
