Characters

Sir Cucumber
Throughout the game, you take the role of Sir Cucumber, a former minister of King Broccoli who took up the cause of fighting back against the farmies. Princess Tomato has always held a special place in his heart, and now that she's been captured, he has taken it upon himself to do whatever it takes to rescue her from Minister Pumpkin.
Princess Tomato
When Minister Pumpkin's true intention became more evident, Princess Tomato did what she could to prevent his schemes from hatching. Unfortunately, once Pumpkin discovered that she was working against him, he quickly captured her, and locked her up to stop her from interfering. But perhaps she does more harm to the minister's cause as a symbol than an activist.
Percy
Early in your travels, you will chance upon a dehydrated baby persimmon struggling to survive. If you manage to help him recover, he will become a loyal servant in your quest to rescue the princess. Percy is quite knowledgeable for a young vegetable, and will help keep you on track during your mission. He is an active participant, often executing the commands that you enter during the game, and reporting their results.
Minister Pumpkin
Leader of the Pumpkin clan, he sees himself as a more fit ruler over the vegetable kingdom than old King Broccoli. After usurping enough power on the inside by gaining the king's trust, he betrayed the king and launched his own campaign for vegetable domination. One of his first sinister acts was to lock up Princess Tomato to keep her from meddling in his affairs. To save the kingdom, you will have to defeat the minister in his game of choice: Finger Wars.
