The NewZealand Story (ニュージーランドストーリー, Nyū Jīrando Sutōrī) is a platform game developed and released in arcades by Taito in 1988.

While avoiding enemies, the player has to navigate a scrolling maze-like level, at the end of which they release one of Tiki's kiwi chick friends trapped in a cage.

A distinctive feature of this game is the ability to ride a variety of flying vehicles, including balloons, blimps and UFOs.

On the lower left corner of the screen, there is a mini-map which shows Tiki's position and the location of his caged kiwi friend, which is also the exit of each stage.

If enough time passes after the warning, an invincible little red devil will appear onscreen to chase down Tiki and kill him instantly if it catches up to him.

[5][6] The game was also converted for the Japanese FM Towns and X68000 systems, providing arcade-perfect conversions, but released exclusively in Japan since both computers were only available there.

[7] In Japan, Game Machine listed The NewZealand Story on their November 15, 1988 issue as being the ninth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

[13] CRASH commented on the accuracy of the character graphics and animation describing it as "an arcade conversion masterpiece", but found the multi-load cassette version to be awkward.

While reviews highlighted the challenging and fun retro gameplay, they criticized the touch-stylus and spot-the-difference events as poorly implemented, and the level design sometimes seen as spiteful.

[22][23] In January 2007, Rising Star Games published the Taito-developed Nintendo DS remake titled New Zealand Story Revolution in Australia and in Europe on February 2.

During certain instances, the game utilizes the touchscreen, such as opening a door, finding a secret button or flicking Tiki to safety.
