Dr. Muto , developed by Burnital Industries, has caused an energy crisis on Planet Midway. In a desperate attempt to rectify the situation, the mayor asks the mad scientist, Dr. Muto , to use his Genitor 9000 machine. However, the machine winds up destroying the majority of Planet Midway. To restore the planet, Dr. Muto must go out searching for isotopes, Terra, and pieces of the Genitor 9000 that got scattered on the four planets owned by Burnital Industries.
The gameplay involves collecting the aforementioned items. While the isotopes can be found all over, the Terra pieces are collected by completing challenges, and the Genitor pieces are earned by defeating a planet's boss. Each planet also holds seven scrap parts for Dr. Muto to find. Collecting the scraps will give Dr. Muto a new gadget to use such as rocket boots or an invisibility suit.
Dr. Muto can jump and zap enemies, but he also has the ability to morph into several different creatures by using his Splizz Gun. Dr. Muto can transform into a mouse, spider, gorilla, fish, or a pterodactyl. This is necessary as the creatures have unique abilities such as the mouse being able to fit into tight spaces and the pterodactyl having the ability to fly.
Dr. Muto was released on Xbox in 2003 and is available for players to enjoy.
