Story

The game follows the story of Glover after the glove's wearer, a wizard, has an experiment go wrong and creates an explosion, throwing Glover out of the castle and turning himself to stone. Glover must save the threatened magic crystals by using his magic powers to turn them into balls. However, the balls are sealed in alternate worlds by evil magic. Without the crystals the overworld surrounding the castle becomes a desolate wasteland, haunted by the maniacal laughter of Cross-stitch, the evil glove from the wizard's other hand. He became evil when the explosion knocked him into the boiling pot, the wizard's experiment.

Gameplay

Crystals are rescued by guiding Glover and his ball around six worlds, each containing three levels, a boss and bonus stage. The ball can also be transformed into one of four (five with the Power Ball cheat) forms. These are the rubber ball, a metallic ball bearing, bowling ball, crystal form and the Power Ball. The crystal form is very sensitive but is worth double points. There are also plenty of magic potions to help Glover with his quest by giving him power-ups.

Glover's ball can be rolled, bounced, thrown, or walked on top of. On water, the controls are reversed (except on easy difficulty). Glover can also collect cards (known as "Garibs", pronounced "Grabbies") which allow him to access the bonus stages.

Balls

The Bounce Ball

The Bounce is the standard ball, lightweight, bouncy, and suggested for when you need to move the ball. The second most fragile ball out of the Glover balls.

Metallic Ball

The Metallic Ball is small yet very powerful the best to use in a battle but it can't travel very far. It has no possible way of breaking.

Bowling

The Bowling ball is the second best ball to the use. It is large unlike the metallic ball but still cannot go very far.

The Crystal

The Crystal is not a ball; at all it is the original form of the balls and it is how you can change into the other. If you do even the slightest bounce it will crack!

Power Ball

Unlocked through a cheat on the Nintendo 64 version, while the game is paused press C-Up, C-Down, C-Up, C-Down, C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, C-Up. This ball is smaller than the Bounce Ball yet larger than the Metallic Ball. It is lighter and bouncier than the Bounce Ball. It is purple and orange in colour.
