Incredible Crisis is a 1999 Minigame Game for the PlayStation, developed by Polygon Magic and published in Japan by Tokuma Shoten (as Tondemo Crisis!) and by Titus Software in the U.S. and Europe. A simplified Arcade Game version was released in Japan by Tecmo.The Tanamatsuri family is trying to get home in time for a birthday party for the family matriarch, Hatsu. But all sorts of crazy events conspire to make this harder than it seems. The game follows the other four family members through their day, and all the craziness they run into. Among other things: Taneo, the father, is chased out of his office building by a giant globe, falls dozens of stories, is sent careening the wrong way down a busy highway while strapped to a stretcher, and gets seduced and nearly blown up by a femme fatale coworker. Etsuko, the mother, is kidnapped by bank robbers, who force her to help them capture and activate a super-weapon disguised as a golden pig. She manages to snowboard to her escape, only to be forced to jump into a jet fighter and battle a rampaging teddy bear monster. Tsuyoshi, the younger son, gets shrunk by mysterious alien rays while hanging out at the park, and has to dodge giant creepy-crawlies and get home safely. Ririka, the older daughter, dodges class (and the wrath of her chalk-throwing teacher) in order to go shopping, only to encounter a tiny alien UFO and get caught up in trying to reunite it with the "mother" ship.

Pop Quiz: One of Taneo's mini-games. Two paramedics are trying to ascertain if he's conscious, and do so by asking random general-knowledge yes-or-no questions ("Is 12 an even number?" or "Is the height of Tokyo Tower 333 centimeters?", for example). If he gets two wrong in a row, they assume they're losing him and break out the defibrillator.

Gameplay Grading
 Incredible Crisis (Video Game) / int_4577bd49
comment
Gameplay Grading: Your grade is determined by how well you do in a mini-game, and an overall chapter grade is given based on those grades. Getting an overall rank of A grants an extra life, while A+ grants two lives. The requirements for A+ are lower than you might think. It's possible that, in a 2-minigame chapter, you get a D on one and an A on the other, yet still get an A+ overall.

Mind Screwdriver: A large number of the bizarre events in the game turn out to have an incredibly simple explanation in hindsight, revealed in the last story: the alien mothership is a literal Mother Ship looking for its child, and they both have a Sizeshifter Ray weapon. The collective rage and panic of the ships is the direct cause of pretty much every supernatural problem the family runs into.

Anachronic Order: The game follows the viewpoint of one character at a time, so some things that aren't explained (why is a giant bear with Ririka's grimacing face on it attacking?) get answered later (because the baby ship accidentally grew Ririka's teddy bear).

Shout-Out
 Incredible Crisis (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: A lot of minigame titles are references to various movies, from Titanic (1997) to Independence Day to Top Gun. If the player fails the Titanic Away minigame, the failure sequence recreates the famous "Standing at the bow of the ship" scene from the movie. The underside of the mothership looks a lot like the UFOs from Independence Day fused with a Simon Says toy. When Ririka is launched into the air on a bicycle with the baby UFO, they pass in front of the moon like in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The minigame where Etsuko has to swap the golden pig out with a bag of groceries could be a reference to the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones swaps out the the Golden Idol with a bag of sand. Another Raiders reference is when Taneo has to run from the giant globe. Some of the items in "Pound for Pound" are almost certainly references to items in the Dragon Quest series, which include a "Medicinal herb" and "Leaf of the World Tree".

"I'll never clean my room again!" The femme fatale wakes up in the ambulance that Taneo woke up in and had to answer quiz questions. The giant globe that chases after Taneo in the first part of his story suddenly returns after Let's Go By Stretcher, and then suddenly crashes into his house from space after the credits.
