Woody's Roundup

**Woody's Roundup**, also known as the Toybox mode, is an area separate from the story mode which allows the player to be the sheriff of a town and customize it to their hearts content. Woody's Roundup is the most free-roam mission in the game, having almost a completely non-linear structure.

## Playable Characters

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie are all playable within the Toybox mode, and there is no real difference between each of the characters in terms of gameplay. Like Story Mode, all three of the characters still have their unique abilities, but Woody and Jessie have no areas in Toybox where they can utilize them. Buzz, however, can use his ability to throw further when playing splitscreen with a second player.

### Evil Emperor Zurg

Exclusive to the PS3 version of the game, the player can unlock Evil Emperor Zurg as a playable character during playthrough of the main Toybox story. Zurg is equipped with his Ion Blaster, which fires unlimited Luxo balls, and even a Zurg-themed car that can be used in the two Stunt Parks. Zurg is limited, however, as he is unable to complete main missions, but there are 3 exclusive missions for Zurg to complete once he is unlocked. Zurg is also limited in mobility, due to wielding his Ion Blaster, meaning he is unable to climb, wall jump, carry or use tools. Zurg is unlocked once the player opens a large expansion for the town, in the form of the Suburbs, and destroys the water dam there.

## Story

The main story of the Woody's Roundup campaign is pretty simple. Mayor Hamm makes the player a sheriff of his town, and your main objective is to develop the town, make money and fend off Bandits which threaten the town's longevity.

### Key Events

One of the first key events is the unlocking of a new section of town known as the Suburbs. The player must destroy a huge water dam to drain the area. After that, the area opens up for customization, allowing for new areas for building and bringing some more iconic "Toy Story" characters into the mode's story, mainly Bo Peep and Mr Pricklepants. Another key event is the capture of Mayor Hamm, where the Bandits incarcerate the Mayor within their hideout. The player must destroy Bandit's and their shacks to rescue him. The story ends with Mayor Hamm turning against the town and revealing himself as Evil Dr. Porkchop. He uses his massive spaceship to destroy the town and steal all its gold.

## Gameplay

The main story follows the player becoming a sheriff within the town. The player is set on tasks by Mayor Hamm, other iconic "Toy Story" characters such as Rex and Slinky, as well as the many customizable townspeople. Within Woody's Roundup, the player can utilize Luxo balls as a form of attack. Woody, Buzz and Jessie can each throw these balls, but they are in limited supply and can be collected around the Toybox.

The main premise is to build up the town by completing basic missions, purchasing new buildings and expanding. The more missions completed, the more toys you unlock for purchase in the Toy Store, presented as Al's Toy Barn, allowing for you to further develop the town.

Alongside basic buildings, other special areas of the town can be unlocked, including Sid's Haunted House, Zurg's Spaceport and Lotso's Enchanted Glen. These are longer missions which feature unique environments, characters and unlockables.

### Mission Givers / NPCs

Within Woody's Roundup, there are countless Mission Givers that range from standard townspeople or aliens, to some of the most iconic "Toy Story" characters from across the franchise. For the most part, standard townspeople and aliens grant side-missions, with a few exceptions. The more important campaign missions are mostly given by "Toy Story" cast members. A list of these Mission Givers, their locations and their type of missions:

**Mayor Hamm (Main Town Area)** - all kinds of missions, such as customization, building, main story missions, etc

**Stinky Pete (Main Town Area)** - multiple types of missions, such as customization, collecting, main story missions, etc

**Slinky (The Ranch)** - a few types of missions, such as collecting, building, side-missions, etc

**Wheezy (Main Town Area, but only appears later in the campaign)** - only camera missions

**Bo Peep (Expanded Town Area near the dam)** - a few mission types, such as building, side-mission, etc

**Rex (Sid's Haunted House)** - some mission types, such as customization, combat, etc

**Evil Emperor Zurg (Zurg's Spaceport)** - some mission types, such as customization, combat, etc

**Lotso (Lotso's Enchanted Glen)** - some mission types, such as customization, combat, etc

**Buttercup (Stunt Park)** - only racing missions / side-missions

**Trixie (Stunt Park)** - only racing missions / side-missions

Out of all Mission Givers, Mayor Hamm provides the majority of key campaign missions, at least, early in the story. The main campaign ends once the player defeats Evil Dr. Porkchop.

### Unlockables / Collectibles

In terms of unlockables, the Toybox is vast in scope. Some unlockables include customization for the townspeople, which range from other Disney IPs to just iconic popular culture outfits. To go with outfits and other customization, there are also a vast set of side-missions named "Pictomatic", which have the player customizing the townspeople in specific outfits and environments. These missions make up a large bulk of the Toybox, and to 100% complete the Toybox, each of these missions must be completed, which means collecting all customization capsules scattered around the Toybox.

In terms of collectibles, Woody's Roundup doesn't feature any of the Story Mode collectibles, such as cards, and the majority of collectibles are exclusive to the Toybox only; for the most part, customization collectibles are the majority.

### Mounts

   Mounts are a selection of unlockables within the Toy Store. They are ridable characters which allow the player to manoeuvre quickly around the vast Toybox environments. There are two mounts: Bullseye and the Dragon. Bullseye is unlocked early in the Toybox story. He is fast, and has the ability to ram into objects and townspeople. Unlocking Bullseye also unlocks a set of racing side-missions, which has the player navigating the Toybox and leaping through rings with a time limit. The Dragon is unlocked after completing Lotso's Enchanted Glen, in which the Dragon is used to complete the mission. The Dragon is slower than Bullseye, but has the ability to hover for short periods and fight enemies, mainly Pixies, using a fireball attack. Similar to Bullseye, the Dragon also unlocks a set of side-missions.

### Tools

Another important set of unlockables include Tools. Tools are unlocked either through basic missions, the Toy Store or, for the most part, through one of the three longer missions (Sid's Haunted House, Zurg's Spaceport and Lotso's Enchanted Glen). From very early in the Toybox campaign, you unlock a Toolbox which allows for quite extensive customization of buildings using customization capsules found around the Toybox. As well as this, Stinky Pete gives the player a pickaxe early in the story as well, allowing the player to mine for gold in gold rocks scattered around the town. But, after completing the three longer side-missions, you unlock three weapon tools:

**Sid's Haunted House - Lightning Rod** - an electrical rod, allowing you to kill Gargoyles and capture ghosts

**Zurg's Spaceport - Laser Pistol** - a laser gun, allowing you to blast Zurgbots, Bandits and other parts of the environment

**Lotso's Enchanted Glen - Magic Wand** - a wand, allowing you to blast Pixies, give townspeople magic wings and turn enchanted caterpillars back to townspeople

Alongside these three weapon tools, there is also the default Luxo ball which all three playable characters can use, and is unlocked immediately from starting Woody's Roundup.

### Bandits

Bandits are the main opposition in Woody's Roundup. Shortly into the campaign, Bandits become the main threat. They jump out of compartments in the ground. Bandits can be killed using specific weapon tools, such as the Luxo ball and the Laser Pistol, as well as using the shoulder charge power each of the three main characters possess. Alongside killing them, a jail can be built which allows the player to capture Bandits, earning some gold along with it.

### TNT

A TNT shack can be unlocked from the Toy Store during the main Toybox campaign. The shack dispenses TNT cans used for completing some missions. The TNT becomes extremely important during the final battle in the campaign, in which, you must throw cans of TNT into a suction Evil Dr. Porkchop is using to steal the town's money.
