(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 a rare game, but Blockbuster at its prime had 9.000 stores, with an average of two copies sums up to 18.000+ copies produced. It is hard to estimate, but workers have an even bigger production number of 20.000+, still a low production number but not the rarest indeed. A realistic figure would be around the 15.000 to 20.000 copies made. These copies were all sold to Blockbuster customers when moving to the next generation. The game by 2016 sells for an average of $250-$300 cartridge alone. A complete copy can be bought for under $3.000. (2016), the manual and box are considered rarer, mostly because Blockbuster stores sometimes lost them or were in bad shape.
