Nikoderiko: The Magical World — Director’s Cut News

Hey adventurers, Luna here! As you journey through The Magical World with Niko and me, you’ll come across dangerous and devious Bosses! I’ve been making notes on every dastardly foe we see to help out our fellow adventurers.

Next up: Sally The Flower!

Sky Vines is one of the most picturesque realms we’ve encountered. Unfortunately for us, many enemies thought so too, and made it their home. As Niko confidently swung through the vines (not being too careful around the brambles…) we came across a small petalled friend who jumped into a pool of bubbling, green water—and transformed into a giant floral beast!



This toxic ooze was Sally’s Swamp, and Sally The Flower rose from the goo. A truly terrifying sight! Thankfully, we had our prehistoric pal Dino on our side to help fight off the fiendish flower’s projectiles and whipping vines.

Sally wasn’t alone in this fight. She had Krumms on her side, which Dino had to eat to stop them from self-destructing and exploding! Eventually, we tamed the tropical tyrant and managed to stop and smell the flowers along the way. 

If you thought a flower couldn’t be scary—think again! Sally was no pansy.

Niko and I wish you luck in your battles with each fearsome foe you meet. Luna, signin’ off!

Hey, adventurers—Luna, here! Are you ready to check out the beautiful, fun, and downright dangerous realms that await you? As Niko and I journey through The Magical World, I’ve been making notes on each zone we visit to help out our fellow travelers. 

There’s plenty of loot to pick up, and scenery to enjoy, so don’t forget to collect everything and see it all! First stop: Skyward Falls.

Niko and I might possess different skills and prerogatives (I want knowledge and Niko wants adventure), but our shared motive has, and always will be—finding treasure! 

Skyward Falls is a fantastic world to start our adventure off with. This tropical island is beautiful and has a dense jungle, ancient temples, secret coves, and cavernous caves. Niko didn’t seem to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding us. Typical!


When we landed on the island, our first job was to get our bearings after climbing down from the airship. Unfortunately, the first sight we saw was terrifying—remnants of past adventurers who met a spiky end! After leaving that not-so-pretty warning, we made our way through lethal puzzles, avoiding traps and pitfalls, until we reached the prize we’d been searching for—a shiny treasure chest!

No sooner had we lugged the thing out of its cave home did we run into Baron Grimbald and his Cobring army, who had destroyed our airship and proceeded to nab the chest! After a hasty (and almost explosive) getaway, our true adventure began. Time to reclaim the relic!

Sacred Forest was first up, a leafy jungle adorned with beautiful bioluminescent plants to guide our way, and complete with serene waterfalls. It wasn’t all peaceful, though. Some Cobrings tried to get in our way, but a quick Ground Pound saw to them. 

Soon came the Tricky Caves. Tricky by name, tricky by nature! There were plenty of hazards down here, but the awesome Aztec-inspired architecture made up for all that (to me anyway, Niko wasn’t so convinced). 


Then we hit the Owlspire Wheels, a winding path of rotating wheels designed to slow us down on our quest! 

After clearing that cylindrical chaos, we dove into Jellyfish Cove. Whoever said it was better down where it’s wetter was sorely mistaken. Those stings hurt!

Finally, we came upon a dam, and had to face off against Darby The Beaver. Well, we all know how that ended!

Our first world was a whirlwind, but I’ve managed to piece together this diary from shredded and damp notes. Hope it helps! 

Niko and I hope you enjoy each world you encounter on your adventures as much as we did! Luna, signin’ off!

Next up: Crusher!


[h3]Crusher[/h3]

We couldn’t have imagined what awaited us in Cobring Mines—an evil mineowner named Crusher. He was unlike any dragon we’d ever encountered. He even had drills for arms! This scaly scoundrel assumed we’d entered his domain to offer up our services working in his mine–but when Niko unknowingly insulted him (typical!) the battle was on.

Crusher took chase, and we had to run as fast as our little mongoose legs could to escape his attacks, dodging and ducking as we leaped over minecarts, pits, and barriers.

We ended up inside one of the rusty carts, where the real fight began. Still racing along the tracks, Crusher pursued us while he shot at stalactites, which hit the tracks, making hazardous pits!



Eventually, Crusher caught up to us and we all fell into a musty mine, where the dastardly dragon rolled into us, firing fire and drill shots we had to nimbly dodge, as well as trying to hit us with carts!

It was one tough fight, and it took us a long time to completely defeat him, especially when he got angry—you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry…

Beware if you enter Cobring Mines, as this grizzly guy is a force to be reckoned with.

Niko and I wish you luck in your battles with each fearsome foe you meet. Luna, signin’ off!
