Scrimmy Bingus and the Great Divide

Scrimmy Bingus and the Great Divide is the eleventh installment in the Scrimmy Bingus franchise. It was released on May 15, 1997 for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC. The game received mixed reviews from critics, with most people being happy that the series was continuing but criticizing the rushed plot and poor elements. 
== Plot Overview ==
The game takes place one year after the events of Scrimmy Bingus TEN. At the end of that game, most of the series' characters were shown living peaceful lives and having gone their separate ways. Bingus, having bonded with his destined vessel Scrimmy, is living quietly in his apartment in Newark, New Jersey. However, the peace doesn't last as the opening scene shows a bolt of Nega hitting Scrimmy, which separates him from the Bingus. The Bingus is banished to an unknown dimension, and The Secret Grandmasters rise to take his place. 
Scrimmy then assembles his adventuring party of Brongi once more, going off to search for knowledge of what dimension the Bingus was banished to. He attempts to use the Alphon, but it doesn't work. At the behest of Bingo, he decides to seek out Dipicricko, an ancient figure with extensive knowledge of dimensions and how the universe works. 
The game follows the player controlling the Brongus adventuring party in search for Dipicricko. The game ends when the Scrimmy reaches the Cricka Dimension, where Dipicricko lives. Upon meeting him, the party is attacked by a Secret Grandmaster, and a battle ensues. After defeating the secret grandmaster, Dipicricko tells Scrimmy about the Dalpha Dimension, where the Bingus is being held. The only way to access the dimension is through a Crimbus Hole, and in order to create one, Scrimmy must retrieve a Crodon, despite banishing them at the end of the previous game. The game finishes with Scrimmy having undecided whether or not to risk unleashing the Crodon once again, and instead elects to think on his decisions for a little while longer.
