Story
A boy named Jin discovers that his uncle Nabu is using magic to spread chaos throughout the kingdom and turn everyone, including his brother Zeke, into animals. In an attempt to stop Nabu, Jin is turned into a pig. From Mysticat, the king's court magician, Jin learns that there is a way to turn everyone back to normal, and sets out to find five animal orbs from around the kingdom. However, Mysticat takes the orbs away from Jin and uses them to open the gateway to the Dark Realm for his master Lord Xaros, who has manipulated Nabu to do his bidding. Jin ventures into the dark realm and confronts Xaros. With the help of his friends and the spirits of past wonder boys, he manages to defeat Xaros and restore normalcy to the kingdom.
