A Platform Game released by Midway Games in 2002 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube (also ported to Game Boy Advance), Dr. Muto was the final game produced by Midway Games West (formerly known as Atari Games) before the studio shut down.The eponymous Muto, having grown up a fledgeling-Mad Scientist nerd shunned for his dangerous or just plain disturbing experiments, sees his chance to be liked when his home planet of Midway is forced into an energy crisis by the excessive power demands of the interplanetary corporation owned by Muto's rival, Professor Burnital. The doctor designs and constructs a machine that, he says, will be able to provide free, clean energy for up to a dozen planets, and his idea is actually put through as a possible solution.As Muto says in response to skepticism from reporters before the machine's activation, "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"Well, as it turns out, Muto's machine was sabotaged in secret by Burnital, causing it to instead malfunction and detonate the planet mere seconds after being turned on. Whoops.Only the doctor's laboratory survived the explosion, floating on a chunk of land in space and only kept inhabitable by the extensive life support system installed by Muto. There, he decides to create another device with the capacity to rebuild the planet, and quickly completes the design of his "Genitor". However, he's missing both the components needed to construct the machine and the special fuel to power it, both of which can be found on the many worlds controlled by Burnital Industries. Muto leaves in his teleporter to collect the stuff he needs... and perhaps get back at Burnital along the way.

Multiple Endings
 Dr. Muto (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Based on how whether or not you collected at least 80% of all the isotopes, two endings play out: Incomplete: Midway does get restored... but only as the barren rock of the planet, with no life on it besides Muto himself. Muto himself basically sees it as good enough, and gets back his experiments. Complete: Midway and everything and everyone on it come back to life. It's implied that Muto becomes famous on Midway, both for restoring the planet and for freeing them from Burnital's grip on them.

Voluntary Shapeshifting: Thus the name of the game as you gather DNA to turn yourself into different types of creatures... except for the mouse, which you start able to turn yourself into. Picking your form is USUALLY obvious, and several areas limit you to human form.

Super Drowning Skills: In his human form, Muto uses floaties to stay above the water, but if he swims into an object on the surface that forces his head underwater, he will instantly drown. If he enters the water in any morph forms other than his fish form, he will drown. If he turns back into a human while underwater, he will instantly drown.

Mad Scientist: The hero, Dr. Muto. This was a constant throughout his entire life, as shown in the flashbacks in the opening segment. When he was just a little toddler, he enjoyed smashing globes and often spelled out "mad" with letter blocks. His parents didn't seem to be too concerned, even calling him "[their] little madman". You can probably guess how his science fair exhibits went.
