The legend went on from that time forward that every 5,000 years the Scorpion King, along with the Army of Anubis, would awaken to once again attempt to destroy and conquer civilization. Legend has it that whoever could kill the Scorpion King with an ancient golden spear known as the Spear of Osiris could decide whether to use the Army of Anubis to conquer the Earth or send the Scorpion King and his forces back to oblivion.ĥ,000 years later, in the year 1933 AD, archaeologists Rick O'Connell and Evelyn O'Connell, along with their son Alex discovered the Bracelet of Anubis, which was once worn by the Scorpion King, in an ancient temple and the key to unlocking and reviving the Army, after nearly being drowned in a flood inside of the temple that was instigated by three thieves, Spivey, Red and Jacques. Upon his family's return to England with the Bracelet so as to further study it, Alex surreptitiously put on the bracelet, unaware that he now would have seven days to reach the Golden Pyramid of Ahm Shere in order to confront the Scorpion King and remove the Bracelet.Īlex was soon after kidnapped by a cult that worshipped and resurrected the cursed mummy Imhotep, so as to have Imhotep defeat the Scorpion King. The boy’s parents went on a quest both to rescue Alex and to beat Imhotep to Ahm Shere before he might slay the Scorpion King and take command of the Army. With the goal to reach the city first and either avert destruction or accelerate it, both groups, the cultists and the archaeologists made off in hot pursuit of the oasis of Ahm Shere. The O'Connells sought the help of the warrior Ardeth Bay, who enlisted the warriors of the Medjai, an ancient secret society dedicated to the protection of mankind, to journey through the deserts to reach Ahm Shere and battle the Army of Anubis. It was not long after both parties had reached the great oasis of Ahm Shere and the evil Bracelet finally removed from Alex's wrist that the cult's leader Baltus Hafez had found the Bracelet of Anubis lying in the sands inside the pyramid, put it on, and inserted his arm wearing the Bracelet into a hole inside a giant scorpion statue within the Gold Pyramid. Instantly the entire Pyramid was bathed in light, and restored to its former condition from 5,000 years back. In other words, Latch himself becomes a cannon.ĭice: Dice's ability allows you to launch the ball in an arc that can be made wider or shallower depending on which direction you hold.With this change, a massive scorpion-shaped shadow fell across the desert outside the Oasis, where the Medjai army, knowing what would come next, was gathered to face the undead warriors. Latch: After hitting attack during hitpause, Latch is able to catch the ball in his mouth and keep it there until the ball's original hitpause goes away, after which he spits it out in whichever direction you are holding. Sonata: Sonata's ability allows her to manipulate the direction in which the ball goes by hitting a direction until it collides with a surface. This ability can continuously be kept up as long as he keeps hitting his own ball. This ability allows you to hit the ball at a predetermined shallow angle that you can change by holding a certain direction.Ĭandyman: Candyman's ability involves making the ball go through walls and show up on the other side for a brief period of time. Jumping and then jumping again while in midair, crouching and then jumping again, jumping during the hitlag created by an overhead smash. Switch can use his special in three different ways:


Instead, it can be triggered in three different ways, as outlined by the wiki:

Switch: Switch's ability is different in the sense that it cannot be activated in the standard way of hitting the attack button twice. Raptor: Basic ability, allows you to skip hitlag and hit the ball twice. The only character exempt from this condition is Switch.Ībilities are only activated this way when the blue power bar below your health bar is full, which will happen naturally after four hits of the ball.Įach character has a different ability that works in a certain way. To trigger each special ability, you must tap the attack key again during hit-lag (that's the pause before the ball actually moves again).
