This is one of the possible outcomes of budget, hard due-date games from this era; Peak game design.
This amazingly quirky Japanese exclusive game brings a lot of funny, Shin-Chan like comedy into a world full of mini-games. The game was developed by Tycoon and published in 2000 for the PlayStation by a collaboration between Asmik Ace Entertainment and TBS. "TBS" stands for the Tokyo Broadcasting System, by the way.
The gameplay is tons of fun, as you would expect, with totally crazy animated sequences and over-the-top, chaotic music (as it should be). Speaking of music, the song from the second running stage is a montage from several samba tunes. The spoken part says "Olha a Beija-Flor aí, gente!" (literally "Look at Beija-Flor, folks!,", in a sense of "Beija-Flor is now parading!" or "Beija-Flor is in the area!"). Beija-Flor de Nilópolis ("Nilópolis Hummingbird") is one of the most traditional samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. There goes some obscure video-game trivia to y'all.
If you are planning on having a fun, chill time playing games with your friends while drinking something, this game is a MUST.
Enjoy.
