King Tut is a friendly Earthling in ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove.
Overview[]
- "For 2 bucks, King Tut will follow you for awhile and expose anything that is hidden in the bushes, trees, or houses near you."
- — Online Game Manual
Not only will King Tut's magic expose any nearby hidden presents or food, but also may shake any dangers out of hiding also. This can work to your advantage, as any bowling balls that are shaken out of trees or bushes may fall on hostile Earthlings. Beware though, as these can also pop friendly Earthlings and King Tut also if close enough.
If a player's character's 'search' stat gets high enough as you progress through the ranks, then you essentially gain the same powers as King Tut - a standard search by the player character will shake everything hidden into view.
Behind the scenes[]
- King Tut is evidently based on the real-world Tutankhamun, who is also sometimes referred to as King Tut.
