Bishi Bashi is a series of minigame collection party games from Konami. The series began with Bishi Bashi Championship Mini Game Senshuken, or just simply Bishi Bashi Champ, which was released to Japanese arcades in 1996. After a few sequels, the first three titles were combined and ported to PlayStation under the title Bishi Bashi Special in 1998, with a sequel combining further two arcade releases following in the next year. While a couple of the early arcade machines received international releases, in the west the series is perhaps best known for the expanded re-release Bishi Bashi Special, released in 2000 for PlayStation. This is a combination of the two Japanese Specials, effectively containing the minigames of the first five arcade titles. However, despite gaining a warm critical reception and something of a cult following, the series hasn’t seen an official release in the west since that. In Japan, the series has continued in arcades and also on mobile platforms, with Bishi Bashi Channel from 2018 being the latest installment.Unlike Nintendo’s Mario Party or WarioWare, the minigames of Bishi Bashi tend to be unrelated to each other, lacking any consistent characters or storylines. Notable exceptions to this are Gachaga Champ and Salaryman Champ, both of which feature anime-style characters as player avatars. Bishi Bashi could be thought of as a video game equivalent of a Variety Show, with the games finding humour in (mainly) Japanese culture, including parodies of other games and TV shows - or just by being plain weird. As is often the case with minigames, Bishi Bashi features very simple controls and easy-to-grasp gameplay mechanics. The basic control scheme consists of three large, distinctly colored buttons. Additionally, some titles have spiced things up with joysticks, steering wheels and even dance pads. With a short tutorial before each round to teach the players how to play, the series is generally targeted towards casual gamers. | |

Mini-Game Credits: The final stage of Hyper Bishi Bashi Champ, called Fire in the Sky!!, is set to a relaxing background music with the players blowing up fireworks and the game's credits scrolling at the bottom of the screen. In both the arcade's Choose Your Game mode and the console version, this round is treated more like a normal minigame with score counters. | |

Arcade-Perfect Port | |
| Bishi Bashi (Video Game) / int_519e6bb9 | comment |
Arcade-Perfect Port: The console ports are generally very faithful to the arcade originals, aided by the relatively simple 2D graphics. Partially averted by Bishi Bashi Special, which removes the ability to end the game manually. In arcade games like Hyper Bishi Bashi Champ, the player can win extra points by pressing an additional "finish" button after reaching the maximum score in certain games. | |

Player Character: Typically the characters (if any) that appear on screen vary from game to game. In Gachaga Champ, players 1 and 2 are represented by a boy and a girl called Gachami and Gachahiko, respectively. In Japanese-exclusive Salaryman Champ, the three players are represented by three archetypical office workers. For The★BishiBashi, the Gachaga Champ protagonists were brought back as selectable characters, in addition to a host of other characters that had previously appeared in individual minigames. | |
