Freak Boy, developed by Zono Incorporated, was to be a third-person 3D puzzle platform game for the Nintendo 64 console.

Game Play
Freak Boy, the main character, is a tall blue character, humanoid in shape, but composed of three disembodied parts: head, torso/arms, and legs. Each of these parts can absorb a different item, and each bestowes slightly different effects, depending on the part that absorbed it. These powers can be used to apprehend enemies, or solve puzzles. There are 25 levels in total.
Plot
On New Years Day, the planets align, allowing alien invaders called ZoS to take over the solar system by extinguishing the sun. The hero Freak Boy has to save the inhabitants of earth by defeating the aliens using his super morphing powers, which allow him to take on the shape and properties of objects he absorbs.
