Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Game Tengoku - The Game Paradise!, also known as The Game Paradise! - Master of Shooting! in the Western release, is a 1995 vertical Shoot 'em Up Arcade Game made by Jaleco featuring actual arcade game characters traveling through the fictional arcade games of a Japanese game center to save it from the menace of one Genius Yamada who wants to conquer it and, through it, the entire arcade game world. Confused yet?Basically, it's a Massive Multiplayer Crossover featuring several of Jaleco's characters from their older franchises (and not only shmups) inside shooting stages made to look like other video games and arcade machinery. An arcade game about arcade games set in an arcade... it's all very meta, and this also allows it to feature several nods to other Jaleco properties and parodies of gaming franchises from other companies. It not only homages arcade culture but anime as well, with several anime tropes and, most importantly, the characters being voiced by famous voice actors such as Tomokazu Seki, Hekiru Shiina, Kae Araki, Ryotaro Okiayu, Shigeru Chiba among others. These seiyuu reprised the roles in The Anime of the Game (see the trope list below) in typical hammy fashion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Game Tengoku received in 1997 an Updated Re-release for Sega Saturn and in 1998 a sequel, GUNbare! Game Tengoku, but only for the Japanese PlayStation. The sequel adds home console games and handhelds to the list of the featured devices. In November 2017 a remake of the Saturn Port titled Game Tengoku CruisinMix was released for Steam, with all the elements from the Saturn port plus new modes like Time Attack Mode and Arcade Mode+, where one can use brand new DLC characters. It was later released for PlayStation 4 in July 2018, and a further enhanced edition subtitled CruisinMix Special was released in November 2018, alongside an English version. A Nintendo Switch port has since been released.

The actual Clarice from City Connection (1985). note Called "Clarice (Real)" in Japanese, because she's now sporting her original appearance with blue hair and the original, orange ClariceCar instead of her redesigned blonde appearance from the previous game, which the website treats as a separate character.

Alternate Company Equivalent: To Konami's Parodius series; both are goofy Crisis Crossover games that feature their respective companies' games come together in a shoot-em-up. The main difference here is that this game is a vertical-scrolling game, while Parodius is a horizontally-scrolling game in the vein of Gradius.

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The opening theme of the first game, "With Angel Wings", is sung by Mika Kanai, the voice of Selia. The ending theme of the first game, "I'm Not Fine", is sung by Kumiko Nishihara, the voice of Yuki Ito, and Mika Kanai. The opening theme of the second game, "To Your Dream", is sung by Kumiko Nishihara, Mika Kanai, Miki Takahashi, and Satomi Koorogi, the latter two who voice Miki and Misato respectively.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Miki seems a prim and proper Japanese schoolgirl, but she keeps her little sister Misato on a chain like a dog for no explained reason, uses her as a human shield in the anime and generally mistreats her in several ways. Nobody ever comments on this (but to be fair, nobody comments on the flying, talking, bomb-tossing pig either). Their ship also has a skull for a crosshair in the sequel.

Mechanically Unusual Fighter
 Game Tengoku (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5
comment
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: A few, to be exact: Miki and Misato's Genesis-3 has a pretty short range in regards to shots, as shown by its crosshairs. To compensate, they have a pair of soldiers/tanks/attack helicopters act as Attack Drones to attack enemies further away from them. Homura's main shot is a short-range shockwave that doesn't go very far, even when fully upgraded (in fact, the only long-range attack he has is his charge attack). To compensate, he can hit his enemies' bullets with his bat and send them flying back at them. The Tatsujin noticeably changes the gameplay: namely, instead of upgrading its shots it can now pick up power-ups that change its bullet type as evidenced by its colournote red is a spread shot, green is a single shot and blue is a homing laser. It also gains its own options separate from everyone else.

Gameplay Roulette
 Game Tengoku (Video Game) / int_640a171f
comment
Gameplay Roulette: Invoked. Game Tengoku's gameplay is the same throughout the levels, but the fictional games visited by our heroes often couldn't be more different from each other. For example, stage four in both games is a top-down racing game that suddenly shifts to a (mostly) regular shmup. One retro-themed stage from the Saturn Updated Re-release has our heroes suddenly sucked inside a mahjong game and then an 8-bit-esque RPG more than a little reminiscent of Dragon Quest. Stage 2 from GUNbare! has a similar structure in that players get sucked into a TV connected to a console possessed by Yamada and get to visit another military shooter and then a horror Visual Novel!

Art Shift: Stage 5 in the original game and 3 in the sequel are the retro world, where games revert to much older displays! In the first example enemies turn into simple sprites made of giant pixels, in the second the polygonal models turn into vector graphics, or rather flat-shaded polygons made to resemble vector graphics.

Or Was It a Dream?

Or Was It a Dream?: The ending to the first short. Yuki apparently passed out on the arcade's floor and dreamed of everything, but then she notices that a few of the coin-ops have been destroyed...

Z-DYNE from Formation Z (1984)note Actually it's Z-DYNE Mark II, and as such it doesn't need to transform anymore to fly.

I Believe I Can Fly: Momoko and Pig don't originally come from shmups; instead of gaining new vehicles the games simply gave them the ability to fly without apparent means. Sakura and Homura as well.

Playboy Bunny: Yuki in the sequel. According to the manga it was made explicitly to her specifications (means no one else can wear it) and grants her the power to make all (but Genius Yamada, who is immune) others follow her lead.

comment
Boss-Only Level: Stage 5 in GUNbare is mostly a battle against a gigantic Robot Maid in a multi-colored void. The final stage from that game as well, with the fight against a giant Yamada. There's also Stage 4 (the karaoke world) in the Saturn version, consisting of Misato singing a bubbly J-Pop song and sending Weapons-Grade Vocabulary at you.

Original Generation
 Game Tengoku (Video Game) / int_d95ac06e
comment
Original Generation: Jeynus and Miki/Misato were created exclusively for this series since the original games their vehicles come from (Exerion and Field Combat) lack an actual pilot character. Sakura in the sequel as well, Momoko's little sister created specifically for the game. Z-Dyne Mk-II is also technically one, as he's an upgraded model of the original robot from Formation Z, Expel. Both Yuki and Genius Yamada (and his two cohorts) are this as well.

 Game Tengoku (Video Game) / int_e791e16b
comment
Weapons-Grade Vocabulary: One of the additional levels in the Saturn re-release is a karaoke room featuring Misato in the background. The lyrics of the song she sings, represented as Japanese characters, become deadly projectiles. The player can choose whether to destroy them and end the stage early, or avoid them and listen to the whole bubbly J-Pop song.

Miki and Misato's Genesis-3 has a pretty short range in regards to shots, as shown by its crosshairs. To compensate, they have a pair of soldiers/tanks/attack helicopters act as Attack Drones to attack enemies further away from them.
