Playing as Pocahontas and Friends
In Disney's Pocahontas, you get to play as two main characters: Pocahontas herself and her playful raccoon friend, Meeko! You'll need to switch between them often to get past different challenges.
How Pocahontas Helps
As Pocahontas, you can run, jump, and interact with the world. She has a special connection with nature. Throughout the game, Pocahontas gains cool new powers. These powers come from helping different animal spirits you meet along your journey. For example, she might learn to glide like an eagle or become invisible like a deer.
How Meeko Helps
Meeko, Pocahontas's clever raccoon pal, is also very important. He can squeeze into small spaces that Pocahontas can't reach. Meeko is great at finding hidden items and solving puzzles. You'll often need to use both Pocahontas and Meeko together to solve tricky situations.
Flit the Hummingbird
You're not alone on your adventure! Flit, the tiny hummingbird, is also there to help. He's a non-player character (NPC), meaning you don't control him directly. But Flit will often give you hints or show you the way forward.
Game Story and Challenges
The game follows the main story of the Pocahontas movie. You'll go through different levels that remind you of scenes from the film. However, the game also adds its own unique twists and challenges. You'll face obstacles like tricky jumps, enemies to avoid, and puzzles to solve. Each level is designed to test your skills and make you think about how to use Pocahontas's and Meeko's abilities.
