(Story)Chaos on Claymodo[]

Hidden deep in the oceans on the world of Claydonia lies the tiny isle of Claymodo, a lush, jungle-covered spot that has never been plotted on any map. It is here that the evil Dr. Kiln has set up his secret base, adding the finishing touches to his plan of world domination.

Meanwhile, our heroes were gently flying via jet plane to the Clayhamas, a vacation paradise that all have been looking forward to greatly. The recently-turned-good Bad Mr. Frosty, world-famous chef Kung Pow, master claymorphosist Blob, freedom-fighter Lady Liberty, and Taffy the "Candyman" were all enjoying their roasted peanuts and complimentary half can of soda, when out of the clear blue sky, a huge, purple meteor came screaming toward our ill-fated bunch and knocked their jet out of the air, causing them to crash onto the small island of Claymodo. Upon discovering Dr. Kiln's intentions, they immediately went on the crusade to stop the madman.

As the brave bunch formulated a strategy to foil the evildoers, Houngan, Dr. Kiln's evil scientist was working on his secret "world-domination-formula", when "Big Bessie" the huge meteor that nearly barbecued our valiant heroes, embedded itself in the volcano that doubled as Houngan's secret lab with a thunderous crash. Unfortunately for Dr. Kiln, some of the radioactive goop that splashed off the enormous meteorite fell on Dr. Kiln's hand, and it immediately started to grow larger and larger; Dr. Kiln realized with horror that his hand had taken a life on its own. He had but one choice: sever the hand that was mutating into a new form.

Although Dr. Kiln's hand removal surgery (which was done with a chainsaw) was painful, he realized with glee that he could create a vast army of warriors with which to take over the world! Dr. Kiln's maniacal plans were to be cut short however-the hand now known as High Five was tired of always bending to Dr. Kiln's will and decided to join the fight against him. Dr. Kiln was not so easily foiled however. With the meteorite mutagen, he created his henchmen-Lockjaw, his loyal and sinister pooch, and Ickybod Clay, a yet-unknown type of clay specter.

When Bonker, a mischievous clown, caught wind of Dr. Kiln's dastardly plans, he immediately joined the evil Dr. Kiln's cause, wanting nothing more then to cause havoc on the world of Claydonia. The Zappa Yow Yow Boyz, the only natives to Claymodo, want nothing more then to get all of these crazy idiots off of their island. Who will win this glorious battle of good vs evil? Only you can decide the outcome!

As a Nintendo 64 game[]

Because ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut was only available as a Blockbuster rental, it is considered to be one of the rarest Nintendo 64 games ever made. While Blockbuster at its prime had around 9,000 stores, with an average of two rental copies per store, sums up to 18,000+ copies produced, a realistic figure would be around the 15,000 to 20,000 copies made. These copies were all sold off to Blockbuster customers after the promotion had ended for $40 per copy. As of 2023, the game sells for an average of $850-$1200 for the cartridge alone. A complete copy with the box and manual can be bought for around $6,000. ClayFighter: Sculpter's Cut's ROM has been dumped, making it easily accessible through the use of emulation.

Trivia[]

  • This is the last ClayFighter game to be released.
  • Hobo Cop is the only character cut from ClayFighter 63⅓ to not be in this game, mainly because he was cut for controversy and not data limit.
  • The Reddit user u/mmarino4 (also known as Darth Marino) discovered the hidden commands for various Claytalities that changed commands for old characters and Claytalities for the new ones that were only rumours until now, like Lady Liberty's "Bell Squish" and Zappa Yow Yow Boys' "Let's Rumble." Also confirmed that High Five has no Claytalities as it was known and that some Claytalities were deleted from this release, like Blob's "Bite Me," Boogerman's "Toiletality," and Houngan's "Hand Pull." The full commands were uploaded to GameFAQs.
