Zunzunkyou No Yabou (Video Game) | comment |
And just when you think it's impossible for Japanese video games to get any weirder.Zunzunkyou no Yabou is an arcade action game made by SEGA for the Sega System C2 system, following a single-screen Run-and-Gun format similar to Smash TV, except you're an animated Buddhist statue on a killing spree.…wait, let us start over.For a better elaboration of the plot; mankind's faith in the gods is challenged, and in order to restore their faith, a Jizo statue (or two if you're on two-player mode) is brought to life to spread the word across a number of stages set in Japan, China, Europe and America. You shall be in control of an animated Jizo statue as you battle punk rockers, cape-wielding matadors, hostile chefs, businessmen in suits, Indian dancer ladies, the Yakuza, before fighting what was supposed to be some unnamed God of Evil.Nope, the game doesn't really attempt to make any sense about all these. And there's not much of a plot either. This whole mess is to Run-and-Gun action games in the same way Parodius is to spaceship shooters, and to it's credit, it's awesome. | |

Fake Longevity | |
Zunzunkyou No Yabou (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: Defeating the four regional bosses and taking down the floating eyeball God of Evil doesn't end the game just yet - instead, you're sent back to the region select screen and told to replay all the stages, all over, including fighting the same floating eyeball. Defeat all of them a second time and you get the real ending of the game, which turns out to be... rather underwhelming to say the least. (see A Winner Is You) | |

Zunzunkyou No Yabou (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: If you somehow manage to complete the game (completing all four regions and taking down their respective boss, then take down the Final Boss before repeating the first four regions and fighting every single boss enemy all over again), you're then treated to the ending cutscene - a clip (consisting of two frames) of your Jizo statue looking at the sunset before turning around and flashing a thumbs-up gesture. THE END. | |

Acrofatic: The Captain America-lookalike who serves as the boss of the US is clearly overweight with a bulging belly, but that doesn't stop him from moving all over the place at high speeds. The Chinese Chef isn't exactly skinny, with a pot belly, but he can still hop all over the place with ease. | |

Noodle People: The Indian dancer enemies are hilariously skinny, and moves across the stage on ridiculously stringy limbs. Though they're not exactly human in nature, since some of them who need two hits to kill lose their flesh and continues attacking as animated skeletons. | |

Corrupted Character Copy: America's boss is a blatant Captain America clone (likely based on Captain America (1990) since the MCU isn't a thing yet) wearing an identical blue headgear with a star on the forehead, spandex outfit with the Stars and Stripes, the stage's background being a blown-up American flag. But he's absolutely not on your side. | |
