Ha! 5 minutes of sleuthing (aka searching and reading wikipedia) - and yes, there was a TV show and everything. It was an Italo-French production, ran for three seasons and while it saw wider distribution, I'm guessing it wasn't much of a hit in the US? (apparently did really well in Brazil)

I kind of skipped a lot of the cut-scenes, so I'm not entirely sure what the premise of the game is other than: there's a bunch of kids, there's some sort of magical lizard/newt, the kids can be summoned into a fantasy land where they appears as embodiments (lords?) of nature - there's a rock, vegetation, water, and air incarnation, they defeat bad guys in this land before heading back to the normal world.
I completed the first world - a forest area that was on fire! (because bad guys) and the game, while pretty simple (I'm not the target audience here!) works and has some interesting gameplay. It's all Playstation-era low poly characters and environments, but it's pretty well done for the small screens and such. Basically you always control a group of three characters - when more than one at a time, they just move around following the stylus (it's sort of a 3rd person overhead/isometric game). When you control them one at a time they can move around and do their own thing - eg. stand on a button, swim across an area,etc. So, this game is basically a typical/simple collaborative game - but you control all the characters.
Like I said, it works! The longer you play, the more convoluted and intricate the puzzles (nothing super hard), and the next world (waterworld!) adds a new variation in gameplay with some sidescrolling areas too.
So, there's variety, there's also combat (and you have a few different swipe/tap moves and combos to do). It was fun enough... but definitely not the sort of game I'm super interested in continuing to play.
BUT
I am curious - it's a Konami game and the characters/setting all scream "this was a tv show with toys and stuff". But, I think this game might be a sort of reverse tie in? As in, make the game and hope there's enough success for a tv show to follow? Also, I have a european copy of the game and the back of the case does not have a barcode. Rather, there's a message that says "Not to be sold separately" - so perhaps there are/were toys or some other thing to go with this game? I'm curious...
