Background

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a quirky RPG developed by Square Enix for the Nintendo DS console. The sequel to Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest for the Game Boy Advance, Rocket Slime tells the story of one Slime's adventure to save his friends from a diabolical band of platypus-like monsters (collectively referred to as Platypunk).

Story

The game takes place in the fictional world of Slimenia, a world as diverse as it's inhabitants. The capital city, Boingburg, is inhabited by exactly 101 Slimes - varying in size, breed, and disposition. Rocket's story begins with him playing out in front of the castle with his sister Bo and two closest friends; Hooly and Swotsy. Shortly after the opening scene concludes, the four of them manage to get their hands (err goop) on a mysterious flute. Immediately after Rockets blows into the flute, a sinister mob of Platypunk (known only as the Plob) invade Boingburg, and begin snatching up the residents one-by-one.

After being tossed into the nearby forest for being "oblong", Rocket stumbles upon the legendary Schleiman Tank - an essential weapon in the battle against the Plob.
