This is the anime-based Quiz game, that not many people know about, or even own, called
"Chibi Marukochan Deluxe Quiz". It is one of the funniest games made for the Neo system, to
tell the truth. Now, on with the FAQ!

2. Gimme all the options, and how the game plays....

1. Any past versions, or people to thank?
No past versions yet, but unless this FAQ is indeed complete, there will be.
If anyone would like to contribute, please e-mail me your contributions, and I'll credit you here. Thanks!
----------------------------------
2. Gimme all the options, and how the game plays.......
Okay, I'll try. After the long introduction, and after you choose between Easy, Normal, MVS, and Hard
mode(determining how hard the questions are), you get to pick a team of three people(6 teams, but each
team must have Maruko, the teenage girl). Each player has different attributes, such as 3 questions only,
Pick a Category, "good luck", and such.
While a question scrolls on the screen, you have to choose the correct answer, by pressing the
corresponding button. There is a timer, in the little 'Jeopardy' like box, where there are squares that count
down, until there are none left(zero). Also, when you get a question wrong, the next person on your team
gets to take a shot at those questions. When all three of you get it wrong, you must continue, or it'll
be "Game Over" for you! :)
On top of the screen, is where there are empty-bars waiting to be filled. One question equals
one bar filled. Different sections require different amounts of right answers to pass.
There are "mini-scenarios" to go through, which are part of the game. Your objective, is to get
through 8 scenarios, and 8 rounds of the quiz game, and then you'll beat the game, and get a nice ending(with Maruko
illin' with the cash...). There are bonus games also, which are described below....
"MATCH THE PIECES"--YOu are given a piece of the item, and you have to locate the EXACT other part of it
on the bottom of the screen.
"MATCH CARD"--This involves 6-8 cards, and you have to guess which suit is the most plentiful(spade,
diamond, heart, or club).
"GUESS THE ANIMAL"--You guess which animal the guy will jump over next, in the little movie screen.
"FADE IN"--A word will fade in, but you have to guess it before time runs out.
"GUESS THE ITEMS"--You guess how many items are in the room.
"WORD FRAGMENTS"--The point of this is to locate the word fragment given to you, and see how many times
it's in the word puzzle.
"DARKNESS"--A small light will shine in a dark area, and you have to tell the item being shown.
"SENTENCES"--In an aquatic background, find the sentence that goes together, before time runs out, and
it runs out fast.
---BONUS GAMES!!---
"SHOOT THE RABBITS"--For every set of rabbits that you shoot, you gain bonus coins!
"GUESS NUMBERS"--You do a good job guessing which numbers go together, and you get bonus coins!
"MAZE GAME"--If you make it through the maze first, you win bonus coins!
"SPIN THE WHEEL"--If the wheel lands on a good spot, you get some bonus coins! Sometimes, you won't...
just like the game show 'Wheel of Fortune'.
Well, I hope that does it for you. Now, on with the game!
-------------------------------------
3. The Game
Basically, the game is played out with 8 scenarios..at first with only 3 answers needed, to 11 answers needed.
It does get tough, especially with the side scenarios..but the bonus games are very fun, and you can take a
breather from the game.
The ending is as follows: Maruko goes home with a hoard of money, but her grandpa doesn't want her to spend
it all, so she buys stuff for him. Awww......
--------------------------------------
4. Strategies
There are some strategies to beat this game, as follows:
1. Use two players as often as possible in this game, as two people working together is always better
than one. Also, put it in Japanese mode, for unlimited continues.
2. There seems to be a button pattern to questions. If you see "D" answers one after another(2 in
a row), you press "D", then there is a 75% chance to get it right. Then, pick the letter above,
or below it, for the next answer, and that is a 75% chance also.
3. Sometimes, about 60% of the time, the weirdest looking, and longest answer will be right.
4. A legit button pattern seems to be found, and it cycles through the game. It is the following:
D, D, A, D, B, D, C, C, A.......
This cycles through the scenarios about three times, by the way.

That's about it for now, I hope you enjoy this FAQ, and this great quiz game.
