Toxic Targets

Toxic Targets is a Total Drama: Revenge of the Island game, produced by Cartoon Network. The game was released on May 29th, 2012. It featured six badges until badges were removed from the website in 2018. 

Gameplay

The player plays as Chef Hatchet as he tries to blast the season's final four and crash dummies off platforms with his meatball bazooka. The contestants are holding mutant laser squirrels, which are still asleep, but when hit, they attack their holder, causing them to fall off and get out of the round. Once Chef blasts all but one target, he can either move on, or continue to blast the remaining target, which earns the player a Chris totem.

There are a total of 40 stages, each set in different locations around the island, including some of the familiar parts of the island seen throughout the season. In certain times in the game after collecting totems, Chef advances to a new power-up, being a different type of meatball. The meatballs can either hit, blast, or melt certain items or contestants to help win.

A minimum of 25 stages is required to beat the game, but the player can branch off on side routes to play more stages. Once beating the game, Chris congratulates Chef for getting all the campers out of the challenge. All the stages can be replayed, or the game can be reset to play it all from the beginning.

Meatballs

The meatballs, which are prepared by Chef, are used to knock down or hit contestants. Throughout the game, you are given more meatballs with different strengths to hurt the contestants. Collecting totems will unlock meatballs, and your current totems are not taken away once you unlock a meatball.

Name	Unlock criteria	Ammo	Unlock description
Meatball	Starter	∞	N/A
Explosive Meatball	7 totems	∞	You get infinite explosive meatballs! Handy to reach hidden contestants.
Giant Meatball	12 totems	1	You get a giant meatball! Throw it with strength, it's very heavy!
Giant Explosive Meatball	22 totems	1	You get a giant explosive meatball! Its explosive power has no match.
Stinky Meatball	30 totems	1	You get a strinky [sic] meatball! It melts anything around it.

* "Stinky Meatball" is only described as "strinky meatball". However, Chef holds up one after Chris talks about his "toxic meatballs" in the intro.

Trivia

• The game is identical to another Cartoon Network flash game, Journey to Plague Island from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, even having the exact same design for all its levels.
  • Both games somewhat resembles the popular game Angry Birds, made by Rovio Entertainment.
• The nuclear test dummies from Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special make an appearance in almost all levels.
• The McLean-Brand Chris Head appears in the game after getting all of the targets out in a level.
• This game shares a similar setup with Total Drama: Pahkitew Island's game, Toss Like A Boss. Both involve the player collecting ammunition and using a precise aim to knock contestants off platforms, who are standing on materials such as wood and glass, off-balance.
• The highest stage number in the game is 55, but there are only 40 stages in the game. The following numbers never appear as a stage: 2, 8, 9, 10, 14, 17, 18, 19, 24, 26, 29, 31, 33, 35, and 36.
• This is the first Total Drama game to have a speedrun.com leaderboard.

Goofs

• A noticeable goof is that the animation in this game is off-model, unlike the rest of the official games from the franchise.
• In the ending card, Zoey is missing her choker, bracelets, and earrings.
  • Also, during the game, her flower is on the left side of her head instead of the right side.
• When up close, Chef's apron and shoes are missing their laces.
• On the ending card, when the laser-eyed squirrel wears Cameron's glasses, the spectacles are clear instead of its usual blue color.
• The final meatball is described as a "strinky" meatball. Its description is "You get a strinky [sic] meatball! It melts anything around it."
