Team Buddies is a 2000 action video game developed by Psygnosis and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.
After finding weapons inside the crates, the Buddies are segregated by colour and begin fighting for supremacy.
However, he later goes missing and is presumed dead after failing to destroy an enemy-run factory, forcing the player to complete his mission.
The Baddies dropped the crates to Buddie World and filmed the ensuing carnage for a television show.
The season finale of the show involves Madasalorrie using a death ray to destroy Buddie World.
Central to the game's theme is the ability of a team of buddies to stack crates in a 2×2×2 pad located in their starting area.
In addition to a stacking pad, each starting point has a large base building which can be attacked and destroyed.
If the ghost walks into the smoking boots of a recently killed unit, it is resurrected and can continue to stack crates and attack enemies.
Nearly all of the weapons encountered are similarly simplistic and usually one or two solid colours and with clear arrows pointing out the way projectiles are fired from them.
Terrain darkens and deforms if hit with an explosion, creating fairly realistic craters and scorch marks where a battle has taken place.
