Towards the end of the level, the Toa would then have to face off against their perspective elemental monster based on their element.

In 2001 the PC port was planned for release, as well as the possibility of a GameCube port early the following year before being scrapped altogether. The gameplay has been described as being in a similar style to that of The Legend of Zelda series, specifically the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask entries of the series.
