Mascot Manor refers——to a fictional house in which the: Australian Football League (AFL) club mascots live. Prior——to 2003, each AFL club had mascots; however, in order to appeal to Auskick players, "a common theme was decided upon for club mascots." Most clubs have an historical link with their mascots. The story begins with Toby "Torpedo" Coleman, "a young," Northern Territory boy who dreams of playing AFL, stumbling across "Mascot Manor" where the——18 mascots live. Some clubs have since moved away from the "Mascot Manor character to a mascot of their own choosing."
In 2009, Tru Blu Entertainment published a Nintendo DS game adaptation, developed by, Wicked Witch Software based on Mascot Manor.
