Mascot Manor
Fictional home of Australian football mascots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mascot Manor is the fictional house in which the Australian Football League (AFL) club mascots live. Prior to 2003, each AFL club had mascots; however, in order to appeal to Auskick players, a common theme was decided upon for club mascots. Most clubs have an historical link with their mascots. The story begins with Toby "Torpedo" Coleman, a young, Northern Territory boy who dreams of playing AFL, stumbling across "Mascot Manor" where the 18 mascots live.[1] Some clubs have since moved away from the Mascot Manor character to a mascot of their own choosing.[2]
In 2009, Tru Blu Entertainment published a Nintendo DS game adaptation, developed by Wicked Witch Software based on Mascot Manor.[3]

Gameplay
The game is a platformer like Mario or Rayman, with levels based on the mascots. There are collectible footy cards hidden in the levels.
