Totem

Totem is the second game mode in KarmaZoo. It is a mashup of multiple different minigame types, and doing well in a minigame awards you points. Each minigame type has multiple different stages that are picked at random. At the end of a Totem all points are tallied up and the winner is decided. Totem can be played either couch or online through a private code (and even supports couch co-op + online play at the same time).

In larger groups of players (observed in groups of 6 or greater), there is a chance for a Team Versus event. Before a round, a screen displaying the text "Team Versus" will appear, and each player will be designated to one of two teams: cyan or orange. Points gained within the round will be tallied per team total instead of per individual.

Minigames Types

---

Finger-Fight

"Choose wisely & change your choice to trick everyone. Then get matched against a random opponent."
Finger-Fight is a rock-paper-scissors minigame. If the player loses a round, they turn into a Ghost. If the player ties or wins, they advance into the next round until only one remains.

Rush

"Be the 1st to cross the finish line!"
Rush is a type of racing minigame where players have to race in an obstacle course in order to make it to the end point first. If the player goes out of bounds and gets hit by the laser seen at the sides, they will turn into a Ghost for the remainder of the round.

Eat

"Food's ready! Eat up as much as you can."
Eat is a type of point-scoring minigame where players (as mostly Pigs) have to collect the most fruit as possible. Sets of fruits are displayed around the course. The players are given a small amount of time to collect as much fruit as possible before the next set of fruits appears. The cycle repeats until the last set.

Descend

"Control your drop and cross the finish line first!"
Descend is a type of racing minigame where players have to move or fall down a pathway/pit filled with obstacles. As in Rush, if the player goes further down or stays back too far and hits the laser, they will turn into a Ghost for the remainder of the round.

Burn

"It's time to set the world on fire. BURN IT ALL."
Burn is a type of point-scoring minigame where players (notably as Pepper and Flame) have to ignite as many fire-pits as possible. There are sets of fire-pits displayed around the course. The players are given a small amount of time to light up as many pits as possible until the time runs out or all the fire-pits have been lit. The cycle continues until the last set.

Climb

"Cross the finish line before your opponents!"
Climb is a type of racing minigame where players have to climb an autoscrolling vertical level and reach the finish line at the top. If the player goes out of bounds and gets hit by the laser seen at the bottom, they will turn into a Ghost for the remainder of the round.

Watch Out

"Finish 1st but watch out for when the tempo hits... BOOM!"
Watch Out (referred to as Freeze on the KarmaPass) is a type of racing minigame where players have to reach the finish line by overcoming obstacles. There are Naughty Eyes that will zap the player after a short countdown if they are still moving, similar to the game Red Light, Green Light.
