A singular 3D platformer in which Dave the chameleon uses his tongue to grab, swing and solve puzzles. The concept feels fresh, the six worlds brim with ideas, yet the adventure is short and the difficulty uneven. A pretty little N64 secret worth rediscovering.

Description
3D platformer where the chameleon Dave uses his extendable tongue to grab enemies, swing, and navigate colorful worlds. Published by SunSoft, released in 1997 in Europe and North America. Six themed worlds, original tongue mechanics, and 2-player cooperative mode.
A Sunsoft 3D platformer, the PAL Chameleon Twist remains the most reachable Western option, its moderate loose value reflecting steady European circulation. The gap up to sealed mainly mirrors how scarce factory-fresh copies are for a niche title with a limited continental pressing, rather than deep demand. European packaging and a complete manual lift the CIB figure, while the game itself stays a curio prized by a small circle of N64 platformer fans.
Is Chameleon Twist still worth playing in 2026?
Chameleon Twist is a Sunsoft 3D platformer in which Dave, a chameleon, uses his long extending tongue to grab enemies, swing and solve puzzles in colorful worlds. The tongue mechanic, original and fun, brings real freshness to movement and combat. The game stays fairly short and the difficulty moderate. For fans of retro 3D platformers with an ingenious central idea and likable mascots of the N64 era, it is an endearing curiosity, carried by its singular concept.
