Maven 3: Dimension Twist or (Maven the Lynx 3) is a near-future 3D Platformer sequel of Maven the Lynx and Maven 2: Back to Action only for the Wii sometime in Fall 2011. Maven, and his Cybird sidekick, Circuit returns once again and this time they have to stop a mad scientist, who has created a machine that can alter dimensions, and begins taking control of them. In order to stop him, the duo must go through the very same dimensions while befriending new playable allies and new enemies.
The tagline for the game is "Three Times the Lynx!".
==Story==
Two years after the events of Maven 2, Maven and Circuit are trying to have a perfect life back in Jhoto Islands, but something wicked comes their way when a mad scientist, Dr. Levitcus creates a machine that can alter dimensions for his control. When the duo come across his scheme, they seek help to learn much more about his sinister plan. Soon Maven and Circuit must quit their serenity-like life and go on another adveture this time by following Levitcus through the different dimensions.
Once there, they notice Professor Quartz mention they need to collect sparks that can help them get back home. And while tracking down the mad scientist, the duo meets Tyi the Lepoard, a tough, young, and powerful sorceress and her sidekick, Daisy the Cybird; and as well Din the Whale. Together, Maven and friends must use their combine strengths to stop Levitcus or all the dimensions come under his control forever.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay returns once again to the heavily, traditional platformer as Maven's goal again is to collect stars; each stars are different colors ranging to their amount (yellow=1, blue=5, green=2, red=10, purple=15, orange=20, white=25). The white stars are rare to find in the dimensions/homeworlds and the different levels. Getting 100 heals him and get him a new life; at the end of the game, the main amount to get a huge upgrade is about 50,000 stars. As well to collecting stars, Maven has to find the 150 Sparks, which are spread everywhere in the different dimensions and thus serving as Maven's second main goal.
There is also a new system known as the Spiral physics where Maven can walk on walls and can change his physics through spinning in the air or in special areas where he can transport himself through other special areas.
===Upgradable Weapon system===
Another new system where in the game there are about 30 new weapons, and all can be upgraded. Through many weapons, some of has speical powers like the "Spiral Twister" that can use powerful tornadoes, "InvisSheild" that cloaks its user invisibile to the enemy's eye, "Hoverrangs" that can be control by the Wiimote with the Motionplus, "Bio Bombs" that can create sheild and blows up whatever comes into the shield, "Elemental Bombs" that can change its blast through fire, water, lighting, or earth, and much more.
===Sparks===
As stated previoulsy above, the 150 Sparks like the Mod Stones and Nexus crystals is Maven's second goal. The Sparks serve as the cataylsts to get Maven and Circuit back home; and like the Mod Stones and crystals, the sparks are spread everywhere this time through the differnet dimensions. To gain the sparks, Maven can find it throughout the homeworlds and the levels, recieved by the folks by doing many tasks, winning mini-games, and defeating bosses.
