1993-2000
Malachi's World began development in 1987 under the title Malachi X-treme, During that time TakaWave was bankrupt, and the absence of limbs on Malachi's World was due to various technical limitations encountered. In its early development, Malachi's World was produced for Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles which featured a two-player mode. in 1991, Ted Hoff of TakaWave got the license to use Malachi Universal characters. "Balls" decided to move the project to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, and Sega CD for its superior hardware, developed by Mala Miles' team. The title of the game was changed to Malachi's World in May 1991. For the game, Steve Clark programmed a new engine named "Takashi Engine", which features face animation creation and vegetation programming and modeling software tools and the first game to use it was Malachi Adventure, which was released the same year as the engine and the engine was credited as Modified Takashi Engine.

Talk of a sequel to Malachi's World began around a month after the game's release, in November 1994. The concept art for the game's environments was mainly created by "TakaWave" founders Mala Miles and Chris Crawford. A few days after the original game's release, Miles drew the first sketches of Zaria. TakaWave officially announced the sequel in a press release with the subtitle Big Honkin' Malachi on December 2, 1995, which was changed by January 1996 to Power of the Tokens before simply being retitled to Malachi's World 2.

The game was originally going to be used for the original Malachi's World engine, which would have been very similar to Malachi's World in terms of graphics and gameplay. The game would have had a much stronger similarity to the original game than the final version. Purple, Kally and Takashi was originally going to be playable, as Malachi had planned to make Malachi's World 2 multiplayer – in fact, the first playable demo level was multiplayer. This lead to their cancellation of the side-scrolling Malachi's World 2 prototype in favor of the final game.
