About This Game
Each character (like Mona and Jimmy T.) has unique stage mechanics - from tilting the GBA to blowing into the microphone for certain microgames.
Unlockable toys include a digital pet, music composer, and parody games like 'Pyoro' that later became standalone series.
Originally developed as a tech demo for the GBA's hardware capabilities, it became a surprise hit with 1.8 million sales.
Rated 89/100 on Metacritic - praised for reinventing quick-play gaming and inspiring rhythm games like Rhythm Heaven.
