Dizzy is the titular character of the Dizzy game series, created by The Oliver Twins.
He is also one of the Yolkfolk.
Characteristics[]
Dizzy is featured as an anthropomorphic egg, who usually wears red wellington boots and red boxing gloves. His egg-like shape was originally chosen as it was easy to animate and rotate on the early Amstrad and Spectrum systems.
Official Bio[]
From the Official Trading Card:[]
"Dizzy's Europe's favorite computer game star - he's been in over 11 different games and he still has many more to come! These days, Dizzy is joined in his games by his chums called the Yolkfolk (hurrah!) but their antics usually end up causing no end of trouble for Dizzy, especially when Wizard Zaks (boo!) is involved!"
From the Official Dizzy Returns Character Bible[1]:[]
"Dizzy started off life as just another member of the Yolkfolk, but once he made friends with the good wizard Theodore, his life began to change dramatically. All his life Dizzy had lived in the treehouse village in the Enchanted Forest near the city of Keldor. Dizzy often helped his friends dig in the diamond mines. When they had enough diamonds, they would trade with the people of Keldor, mostly trolls, who worked for the kindly King Rockwart. However, when the evil wizard Zaks arrived in his castle perched upon a huge cloud high above Keldor, he brainwashed Rockwart and the rest of the trolls, who began to work for him. Zaks bore a grudge against Theodore, and began by doing little annoying things like making it rain every Sunday during the Yolkfolk cricket match, but went on to do really horrid things like blasting people with magic firestars until their eyes burned out. Dizzy made it his ambition to get rid of Zaks. And he thought he had, until Zaks returned. Since then he's been catapulted through a series of weird adventures, on a desert island, in a Fantasy World, in Magicland, in the Underworld beneath the Forest, lost near a castle in the Forest itself, and all around the kingdom of Zakeria. Dizzy is now Zaks' bitter enemy, and will stop at nothing to rid the world of his influence."
Personality[]
Not much of Dizzy's personality is shown during games, as with most early platform games, the main protagnoist is mostly silent. However, he is always trying to help his friends and generally thwart evil, and along with his almost permanent cheery smile, it is safe to assume Dizzy is a generally happy and helpful sentient egg-being.
Abilities[]
Dizzy's main ability is that of the ability to puzzle solve, as his adventures are almost always accompanied by many item-based puzzles standing between him and his goal.
Dizzy can also jump and roll, and with the aid of certain items, gains the ability to do many other physical activities such as swimming and breathing underwater.
