 [![Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/save-me-mr-tako-tasukete-tako-san.jpeg "Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/save-me-mr-tako-tasukete-tako-san.jpeg)In a world where humans and octopi are at war, Mr Tako is a persistently helpful little octopus who rescues a woman from drowning one stormy night.

A fairy sees this act of bravery and grants him the ability to survive on land, where he can turn enemies into platforms by spitting ink at them. As he travels across the surface world, Mr Tako defies his family and his people to try to resolve conflicts between humans and octopi.

Mr Tako will solve puzzles, explore mysterious dungeons and fight tenacious bosses on his mission to end the war between the undersea octopus kingdom and the terrestrial human world. Will you help this brave octopus to spread his message of tolerance and teach both species to coexist in peace and unity?
