Premise
Poppy, Branch and the other trolls are visiting a vast continent known as Rollabug Reigon to take a day off from all the partying they had from last night. They hear that there is a mysterious glyph that gives all the bugs the ability to roll quick. Out of nowhere, a fat Pig-like punk named Hogginburger, his assistant Shortsnout and his Roadpigs arrives to steal the glyph and use it for his own evil plan: To create a huge ball machine to pilot, conquer and terrorize the entire world and the Trolls' Kingdom. Poppy, being alarmed by this news decides to jump into action to stop him, but kidnaps Branch, Guy Diamond, Biggie, and the rest of the crew to slow down her efforts of stopping him. Poppy taunts Hogginburger for not capturing Poppy, with the former saying that "Capturing ladies is done to death it's like 60's stale milk". Heartbroken, Poppy is seen crying until she's greeted with a friendly rollabug robot named GY-R0-77 who vows to help the pink troll chase after Hogginburger. But there is one circumstance: In order rescue Poppy's crew, she must overcome eight, vibrant worlds of musical and ball-rolling proportions to get to Hogginburger's Fortress located in New PorkPunk Empire. Poppy is puzzled at first, only to have GY-R0-77 equips a tool that encases Poppy in a strong, round bubble, allowing her to roll around with ease. At first, Poppy takes time to get used to it, but grows more experienced and eventually cheers up. From here, the adventure begins.

Gameplay

The player begins with Poppy, but unlocks other characters as the game goes on. The player has a set of lives, spelling game over if they lose them all.
