The storyline is that Ooga Booga is a volcano goddess that creates islands, and has leaders of tribes, the Kahunas, that battle for her favour.[3] It has a distinct Polynesian style and tone, and has many multiplayer islands and characters which can be unlocked. It was one of the last online games for the Dreamcast. There are four basic Kahunas that the player can use: Hottie (balanced), Fatty (strong), Twitchy (fast), and Hoodoo (spells).[4] There are other unlockable Kahunas based on the main four. Some of them include Death (a floating skeleton), Abe (former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln), Superguy (superhero), Joseph (a caveman who says "ooga booga") and Dwarf (a dwarf).
