  • Zoostorm: The player receives a letter from Ms. Tiggles, the zookeeper at the Isle of Sunny Days. The island has been hit by a zoostorm, that has mixed up all the animals on the island, leaving their heads, bodies, and legs mixed up.

The goal is to sort all animals and bring them back to the correct enclosure at the zoo.
