The Story Behind Claymates
The line "Blaze Processing" featured on the box art and in the manual of Claymates is a reference to Sega's claims of "Blast Processing" in some its US Sega Genesis advertisements. Quarles stated the game's clay characters were made in an attempt "to have the consistency of something like Flintstones in character and story" while Thomas claimed was designed to have "the speed of Sonic, the maps of Mario, and colors that have never been done before". Claymates was produced by Interplay veteran Michael Quarles, designed by Gregory A.
Thomas conceived Claymates under the working title "Animal Connection" for the Nintendo Entertainment System before production moved to the SNES. Characters from Claymates would also appear in the pre-fight introductions of ClayFighter, which was released around the same time. This proprietary MIDI tool allowed composers to play music and sound effects directly from SNES ROM files to save on memory by only occupying 18 kilobytes of space.
How Claymates Plays
Suddenly, Jobo the witch doctor appears and demands the formula for the serum. The professor refuses, to which Jobo replies by changing Clayton into a ball of clay and stealing away both his father and the serum. The player uses samples of serum lying around in these levels to transform into one of five different animals (Muckster the Cat, Doh-Doh the Duck, Oozy the Mouse, Goopy the Guppy, and Globmeister the Chipmunk) to best fit with the environment and make it to the end of the level.
It is one of Interplay's clay animation titles which also included the ClayFighter series. Clayton vows to save his father despite his new form and embarks on a journey through his backyard, the Pacific, Japan, Africa, and finally outer space. The protagonist is a boy named Clayton, whose scientist father, Professor Putty, has developed a serum that can transform people into animals when it is combined with clay.
