The One With… a poltergeist ball dad. And incest themes.Pawapoke Dash is a 2006 dating sim + card game + roguelike RPG developed by Pawapuro Productions, formerly Diamond Head, and published by Konami for the Game Boy Advance. It is a spinoff released after Pawapoke 8 for the Nintendo DS, but story-wise it is connected to all previous installments and is regularly referenced afterwards. The game does not feature a Baseball simulator or any real life teams, and instead introduces the Card Baseball system.In it, the pitcher and the batter pick cards worth certain fractions of the strike zone. If they match, the batter makes contact and the result is then decided via a roulette. If the cards don't match, it is a strike out for the pitcher. This system was made an optional mode the player could choose for the Outer Successes from Pawapoke 9 to 12. The RPG mode featured in this game is also unique for introducing roguelike systems into the series.Incidentally, the 2005 DS game Pawapoke Koshien was disregarded as a proper Pawapoke game due to its lack of a story mode tied to the setting, because that is the entire point of the series compared to the Negative Continuity of the main Pawapuro games.The game was featured as a pre-order DLC for Power Pro-kun Pocket R remake of the series' first two entries in 2021.Outer Success Mode: Ball Father EditionA young "Hero Dash" and his father are watching uncle Suguru Mizuki playing for the Moglars when suddenly a home run hit from him slams Hero Dash's father in the head, instantly killing him. The boy has a vision of the Baseball God, who lets the father live on as the baseball that struck him and challenges the boy to become the best elementary school Baseball player in 5 years if he wants his father to become human again.Despite the game being produced after 8, this story is set between 7 and 8.Inner Success Mode: Hell Dungeon EditionWhile Hero Dash is visiting his father's grave the ground collapses under him and he falls into the underworld. Can he find a way out?

 Pawapoke Dash (Video Game) / int_132e865c

Earn Your Bad Ending: The main challenge in Ball Father is clearing the Baseball matches. Chances are one can only get the game over for having less than 9 people on the team on purpose to unlock it on the gallery. You will also only really risk getting the Heaven gauge filled up if you repeatedly get Hero Dash to injure himself from training at zero health. It is actually hard to run out of time in Hell Dungeon by mistake. But you need that game over to complete the Gallery.

Stars Are Souls: The game over screen for Ball Father passing away shows Hero Dash stargazing in tears. Hell Dungeon ends with Hero Dash getting yanked out of the underworld just as he meets his parents. He looks up at the sky sadly, imagining the two, but realizes they're still right next to him.

Easter Egg: If you load the game on a Nintendo DS, it will sometimes display an unique title screen with Hero Dash holding a Stylus pen. Unfortunately, that's all it changes. The Pawapoke 8 music samples really aren't in the game's code and the title screen illustration even lampshades that the game won't accept touchscreen input.

Bland-Name Product: The game does not have the license to use the official Japanese Baseball League teams.

Skill Scores and Perks: In Hell Dungeon the various positive and negative Baseball perks that typically have no effects in the series' visual novel modes do change the protagonist's attributes. In the Card Baseball, some of them are passive and activated by certain conditions as usual and others must be activated by spending points.

Power-Up Food: In Hell Dungeon, enemies can drop Cartoon Meat items. By eating them at less than 235 fullness you have a 15% chance of acquiring a skill unique to each item, 5% of getting a negative skill and 10% of cancelling negative skills. Those percentages are modified by the blessing and curse statuses. The cap on skills is Character Level divided by 4.

Denial of Animality: Wanko says she's human but has dog ears and her dates involve playing playing with her like she's one. In fact she was an actual dog who got run over by a car. The Baseball God gave her a hybrid form and some more years to live for a Baseball career challenge similar to the one he presented Hero Dash with.

It's a Wonderful Failure
 Pawapoke Dash (Video Game) / int_45e41b66
comment
It's a Wonderful Failure: Other than the game over outcomes, every love interest and the teammates have a terrible ending if the protagonist fails to help them. Wanko dies alone as her deal with the Baseball God expires, while the narrator remarks she could never make a bond with anyone in her short life. Rurika and her mother are sent away to some island by a debt collector. A letter she sends to Hero Dash makes it seem like they're at peace, but the first column of characters in it reveals a cry for help that implies they're forced into Indentured Servitude and became addicted to drugs like the people in Happiness Island were.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The roulette in the Card Baseball system spins at a reasonable speed that makes it easy to get hits and home runs by paying enough attention. Later games in the series not only changed the color-coding of the slots for whatever reason but also added a bunch of stat-dependent conditions on the roulette speed that make it often spin so fast it becomes a pain to score anything.

Guide Dang It!: The Card Baseball system is just simple enough that if a Western player who can't read Japanese manages to understand the gist of it and get out of the tutorial, they should beat the game without much trouble. Hell Dungeon is more difficult to get the hang of without understanding Japanese, as the inventory isn't illustrated.

Discontinuity Nod
 Pawapoke Dash (Video Game) / int_81a61a4a
comment
Discontinuity Nod: The game does not include Pawapoke Koshien in its series chronology, presumably because it had a standalone non-canon story. Later in 2006, Konami even removed Pawapoke Koshien from the series' homepage without an official statement and went on to not market the next Power Pro-kun Koshien games as part of the Pawapoke series. This was reaffirmed in 2021 when Konami made Dash a pre-order DLC for R and published the OSTs for the entire series online without ever mentioning Pawapoke Koshien.

Puzzle Boss
 Pawapoke Dash (Video Game) / int_84f4a870
comment
Puzzle Boss: The final boss in Hell Dungeon most likely can't be defeated by normal means. When its psysical attack becomes super strong it must pause and recharge every six turns. So walk six steps around it, slap it, and repeat until it is done. For the buffed-up version at the bottom of the dungeon, watch out so you don't walk away from it, or it will hit you with an energy blast.

Songs in the Key of Panic: Hell Dungeon's theme slows down if Hero Dash gets hungry and is replaced by a tense song when he's low on HP.

 Pawapoke Dash (Video Game) / int_8b442f50
comment
Did Not Get the Girl: Happens in half of the love interest quests. Wanko dies towards the end of the story for failing her deal with the Baseball God. The best Hero Dash can do is to let her pass away happily. Sakura is actually Hero Dash's sister. Either Ball Father forces the boy to break up with her without telling the truth or Hero Dash finds the truth and breaks up with Sakura in a rather terrible way. Momoko is the projection of a tree, and stops appearing as Hero Dash grows older.

Ghost Leg Lottery: The new year minigame in this installment. The ladder climb is very long and the screen scrolls down fast enough to make it very hard to guess which path will lead to the best result. Especially because the monkeys on the way to the top are another factor that causes the protagonist to swap paths.

Inventory Management Puzzle: In Hell Dungeon you must manage inventory weight. At less than half of the current weight limit you receive stat boosts. If it goes past the limit a stat penalty is enabled and the hunger meter starts draining faster.

comment
Timed Mission: The goal for each year of Ball Father is to have enough teammates to keep the Baseball club running. So at first you've got to focus on meeting and befriending the entire supporting cast. Hell Dungeon has a fairly generous "time" limit determined by steps taken, but it has a hunger meter on top of it. Oh, if time runs out the game erases your save file even if you still have continues.

Continuing is Painful: You get 4 continues in either 2 hours long story mode. Run out of them and back to the beginning you go. Failing to mantain the Baseball club in Ball Father or running out of time in Hell Dungeon is a total game over, as the save file becomes unsalvageable. You only get one shot to clear the optional second half of Hell Dungeon and obtain a special skill. Furthermore, the game will start wrecking your inventory as you lose continues.

Press X to Not Die: The Quick Time Event from the first three games returns when Suguru challenges his nephew to a batting match towards the end of the story. The input prompts are FINALLY given as arrows instead of kanji. Both arrows and the action keys will score you a point when pressed correctly, so the duel goes by pretty fast.

Wizard Needs Food Badly: Hell Dungeon features a fullness stat. The starting default value is 170 and letting it past a range of 30 results in small penalties. Getting it over the cap of 235 severely drops stats, limits attacks to once per turn and disables the appearance of skills. If it reaches zero it activates the same stat penalties and lowers HP with every turn.
