The Story
---------

Marty the Zebra is celebrating his tenth birthday, but life in the zoo isn't
all it's cracked up to be. Tired of performing in the same show every day,
Marty craves the excitement and freedom of living in the wild. When some
crafty penguins help Marty escape from the zoo, his best friends, Alex the
lion, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo set off to find him in what
turns out to be a bigger adventure than any of them expected.

coins. Gold coins are worth 5 coins, and silver ones are 1 coin.

Life Tiki's - Every time a character picks one of these up, they earn a health
boost. These can be upgraded.

Chilli Peppers - Gloria can use these as a speed boost to help her beat race
opponents or push traffic out of the way.

nearby enemies will be stunned (only found on the island of Madagascar).

Coconut - Melman can use these as ammo. Pick them up and throw them at nearby
enemies.
