ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove[]
- "This old guy will fix any broken present for a buck. Broken presents have a chance of blowing up when you open them. This chance is based on your present skill."
- — ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove online manual[1]
Occasionally, when you pick up a present it will be marked as 'broken'. This is also visually indicated by electricity cackling around it. Opening a broken present can be risky. It may work as intended, but if not it will explode, taking a portion of your health with it. Whether broken presents work or explode is influenced by your present stat and luck stat. You can also find a Fix Present present that can repair broken presents so they will definately not explode. The Mad Inventor will provide the same service for one buck.
