In Baku Baku a king is holding a contest to find the greatest zookeeper in the world to manage the royal zoo. Players attempt to win the contest in a Tetris-like puzzle matching game. Both animals and food drop from the top of the screen, and players must line up the animals with the food they eat. A correct match will remove them from the screen and reward points. In Arcade mode players are matched against various opponents of increasing difficulty. A competitive two-player mode is also included.
