And the game uses this clever ability very well, sometimes forcing the two to split and then re-combine later on and meaning that some levels will require a short journey for one character and a mammoth quest for the other.
In the game there are a breed of creatures that the instruction booklet refers to as "Hush Puppies", as a result of this blatant copyright infringement both Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond were forced to spend six months in one of the Taiwanese sweat-shops that produces said foot-wear.
