The Ottifant is a creation of German comedian and actor Otto Waalkes.
The name is a portmanteau of Waalkes' nickname Otti and the German word for elephant.
"All is not well for Bruno, the baby Ottifant.
A father captured by Aliens! Or so our Otti-infant imagines as he follows the trail of sweets that will lead him to his abducted parent.
It's a trail of peril and adventure--- terrifying toys, a blood-chilling basement and an office of hi-tech horror."
About Sega Master System
The Sega Master System (1985/1986) was Sega's answer to the NES and, while it lost the console war in North America, became genuinely dominant in markets like Brazil and parts of Europe. That regional split matters for collectors: PAL and Brazilian-market cartridges can differ meaningfully in scarcity and pricing from their North American counterparts for the same title.
Gamevaro tracks The Ottifants for Sega Master System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Ottifants to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SMS release dates back to 1993.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Ottifants, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Master System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
