2. What is this game? +Intro

Kingyo Chuuihou! Tobidase! Game Gakuen is a Japan game released by Jaelco in
1994, for the Super Famicom (no SNES). The game is based on the anime Kingyo
Chuuihou! Tobidase! (or Goldfish Warning), which had a lot of nonsensical humor
and is mainly aimed for kiddies. Anyway, back to the game, it's a party game
consisting of LOTS of different minigames, and is really really fun. I would
recommend playing this game, either against the computer(s), or against your
two other friends (the game can hold 3 players max).

Alright, here's a rule:
NO ROM BEGGING. You should be smart enough to find it yourself.
---
3. Menus

Buttons:
A - Choose (goes to next menu)
B - Cancel (goes to previous menu)

At the first menu, you get three choices. If you don't have three controllers
connected to the console, the third option will be left out. In this menu
you'll have to choose how many human players there are: one, two, or three (if
you have 3).
Then there's the second menu where you choose your characters. Unless you are
playing a 3 players game, player 1 is responsible for choosing the computer
opponents. As far as I know, all the characters are the same. But if he/she/it
was chosen as a computer opponent, they'll have some style of play that kinda
makes them stand out.
Anyway, after choosing all 3 characters, you get two choices. The first one (A)
is to go through 3 years of school, which will last for some time. The second
one (B) is playing an individual game with your friends (kinda like a practice
mode).
After the first choice (A), you get a menu with 4 options. Basically you choose
on how many minigames to play each semester (there are THREE semesters a year,
mind you), from three to six.
After the second choice (B), you get a big table on the left, and a small table
on the right. First you choose a subject on the big table. After you chose a
subject, the cursor will move to the table on the right, where you choose the
year for that particular subject. However, not all subjects require you to
choose a year. Read the 'Games' section for each individual game.

4. Characters

As far as I know, all characters have the same attribute.

There are six selectable characters:

Appearances:
Wapiko - Pink hair, standard Japanese female student clothes
Aoi - Blonde male, green jacket
Chitose - Blonde female, pink dress
Shuuichi - Dark hair, standard Japanese male student clothes

5. Games

First, all games give you points. By the end of each semester (there are 3 each
year), you get a 'grade report' where the classroom teacher announces your
total point. After that, you'll be on vacation, where you get to choose from 3
cards.
The one with the highest score (total so far) will get to choose first, the
second highest gets the second, and the third highest gets the leftover card.
Then by score order the card will be flipped, and you can get bonus points, or
lose certain points. The most you can go is 100 for each side. Sometimes you
don't get bonus points nor lose points.
After the vacation, the one with the lowest score (total so far) will get the
goldfish. Then he/she/it can get to choose a subject.
The choosing subject dialogue is a roulette. Press A to stop it from rolling
and you'll choose a subject. After choosing the subject you'll play a minigame.
What the goldfish does, is that it'll double the score gained from the game if
that character wins. It won't change sides until the semester ends, and once a
new semester starts the goldfish will fly to the player with the lowest total
score so far.

Here are the games:

--
1st year:

Chinese: Quiz
If you can't read Japanese, the fun of the random choice is here! There are 4
possible answers for each question. If your AI opponents are 'dumb' they'll
answer as fast as they could, and usually they'll get the wrong answer. Then
you'll probably be left with a 50/50 chance. You can answer BEFORE the first
answer appears, but that would be kinda weird. Each question is worth 20
points, and if you have a wrong answer you'll lose 10 points (no points lost if
you are at zero). Remember that the 10th question (last question) is worth 50
points. In addition, remember that you can STILL choose an answer that somebody
had wrong (e.g. Bad Cow chose B, and you can choose B after him).

Math: Puzzle
A puzzle/Tetris game. This is easy if you're used with puzzle games like Puzzle
Fighter from Capcom. Remember that if the blocks reach the top you're bai bai.
Two or more blocks of the same shape, when put together, will be cancelled.
Press the A button to switch the blocks when they're falling down, and hold
down to have it drop faster. If you (or your opponent) executed a combo
(cancelling one type of block after another), then your opponent will get an
animal block. If you performed a 2 hits combo they'll get one animal block, 3
hits with 2 blocks, and so on. Animal blocks can't be cancelled unless
something next (but not under it) to it are cancelled. One cancel with two
blocks is 2 points, and further cancelling depends on the number of blocks
involved. Animal block cancels give you no points. Winner is decided when
somebody reaches 100 points first.

Science: Shooting
A vertical shooter. Press A to shoot. Hit the viruses, and don't get hit, or
you'll lose 5 points. I think a virus is worth 3 points. The game ends when the
timer reaches zero.

Social: Quiz
If you can't read Japanese, the fun of random is for you! The same format as
1st year Chinese.

English: Puzzle
A puzzle/Tetris game. Match the capital letters with the small letters and
they'll cancel. Same format as 1st year Math.

Sports: Short Race
Race to the finish by mashing A and B (or X and Y) alternatively. There are
various 'checkpoints' which gives you points. The first one to reach a
checkpoint gets 20, the second 10, and the third 5. Same for the finishing
line.

Arts: Pic building
The basic concept is to have the pieces built together to form a picture.
You'll start with 4 empty blocks this year. Go down to the bottom table, press
A (or Y) to grab a picture (the picture will be highlighted) and then walk back
to your picture, press A to put it down again. If you put it at the right
place, you'll hear a cheer from your character and you get 5 points and you
can't take it away again. if you had it at the wrong spot, press A to remove
it. You can only put a piece in your area. When you're done, you'll
automatically walk back to where you started, and your score is the base score
+ the time left on the timer.
Remember that you can get to, say the right side, by holding left and go into
the curtains. And vice versa.
The pieces are usually ordered a bit at the bottom. Start with the one closest
to you, then move on to the next one, and so on.

2nd year:

Chinese: Puzzle
This one is hard. It really helps if you're adept at Chinese, because you'll
kinda need your Chinese knowledge to survive. Basically you'll have to put two
antonyms together and they'll cancel each other out. If you can't read Chinese,
try to put two characters of the same color BUT with different looks. The same
format as 1st year Math.

Math: Quiz
This is a bit easier since some questions give you numbers as answers. Try
thinking of the relationships between the number provided in the questions and
relate it to the answers (if these question has numbers in it). Otherwise, make
random guesses. Same format as 1st year Chinese.

Science: RPG!
This is fun. First you choose 3 foods, then they'll calculate the stats for
your character. The top one is Attack (damage dealt to enemy), second one is
Speed (determines character's order in the party), third one is Evade (chance
of evading an enemy's attack), fourth one is Defense (anti-proportional to
damage dealt from the enemy), and the last one is the total HP.
In the battle choose an enemy by pressing A, B, or Y. Then you'll attack the
enemy (depending on the order) and then the enemy will attack you. This game
ends when the enemies are all killed (or the other way around, but it's rare).
You get 40 points for killing an enemy, and the one with the highest HP at the
end gets 40 points as well.
My advice is to get chocolate (usually hidden in the question marks) first
because it's a great boost of Attack and HP, which'll help you get more points.

Social: Search
You'll start in a field of bricks. At the top right corner a flag will show up,
and you'll have to look for an identical flag in the field by pressing A when
facing at a certain direction. If you have photographic memory you shouldn't
have much problem. Getting a right flag gives you 20 points. The game ends when
timer reaches zero.


English: Shooting
A more advanced shooting game but with the same basic concept. Shoot at the
guy, and when he spreads out his HELLO attack attack the alphabets. Then grab
the kanji characters they created. A kanji letter has 3 points, and if you get
hit by the cats' projectile, you'll lose 5 points. Just try to get the kanji
characters, because they're the ones which'll give you points. Only shooting at
the English characters will not give you points.When the timer reaches zero,
the game ends.

Sports: Penalty Kick
One player will be kicking the ball, and the other two players, one front and
one behind, will be trying to stop the ball from hitting the net. After 3
tries, the players will switch places. First goal is 20, second goal is 40, and
third goal is 60. Saving the ball would not give you points. Kickers press
forward, right or left with A, and 'savers' can stay neutral, or hold left or
right.
If the ball is deflected and hits the guitar guy, the cat will punch him. No
points though.

Arts: Pic building
Basically the same as 1st year Arts, but this time you get to deal with moving
pictures. You start with 3 pictures.
--
Year 3

Chinese: Quiz
See 1st year Chinese.

Math: Puzzle
Have two blocks add to 10 and it'll cancel. You cannot use three or more blocks
to add up to 10, it MUST be two blocks. Kinda hard. Same format as 1st year
Math.

Science: Shooting
Shoot the aliens! An alien is worth 3 points. After killing a bunch of aliens,
you get to face the boss. Beating the boss gives you points, I believe about
10-15 points.

Social: Save the World
You control a satellite, and at the upper right corner is a screen showing
where the monster appears. In the rotating globe the monster's location is
showed as a blinking red dot and you'll have to shoot at that dot. A successful
hit will get you 20 or 30 points. Getting hit by the monster's beam only stuns
you, it takes no point off you. The game ends when the timer reaches zero.

English: Search
This is hard as well. You'll start in a field of ice and you'll have to look
for the missing letter that would make a complete word. Each correct answer
will give you 20 points. Some of  the questions are tricky, like _AT where
you'll have to replace _ with an alphabet. There's a lot of choices, but they
only accept one.

Sports: Bomb Arena
You'll start in an arena with bombs. The goal is to 'move' the bomb and kill
other players with it. By standing at a certain direction, you'll have the bomb
slide that way when you press A when the bomb's near you. Every player starts
with 5 hearts, and the first two to reach zero loses, or when the timer reaches
zero. A successful hit (by you) will give 10 points, and when you're the only
player standing, you'll get points from the timer as well. Tanakayama will
provide the bombs by teleporting into the field.

Arts: Pic building
This one looks hard, but really it isn't. However, you start with moving
pictures, with zero pieces for you to start with. Basically the same as 1st
year Arts. The pieces located at the bottom follow some sort of order. *hint
hint*
--
Misc.
There is also a Misc subject where it changes every semester. So you have 3
Misc subjects in a year.

1st Semester: Beach
This one is really really fun. First your character starts on a beach, and then
you pick up trash (by pressing A) along with other things that came with the
wave to gain points. Usually trash gives you 10 points, and other things
(except beach balls) gives you 20. If you got 'hit' by the wave you'll lose 30
points.
In addition to picking up trash and other stuff, you can pick up a beach ball.
To throw it at a certain direction, hold that direction and press A. Then your
character will hurl the ball at that direction. If the ball hits a player,
he/she/it loses 10 points. To avoid being hit by a beach ball, press and hold A
to evade.

2nd Semester: Hurdles
Basically it's 1st year Sports with cats replacing the checkpoints. This time
around, you'll have to jump over the cats by pressing any direction. If you
have a successful jump you'll get 20 points. At the end of the race, winner
gets 20, second gets 10, and last gets 5.
My suggestion is to jump before you reach the cat. Your characters can jump
pretty far, so that's not a real problem.

3rd Semester: Concert
The female teacher will play a piano and hint on which button she wants you to
press. The first one to react with the right button gets 5 points, and after
the first one, 2 points. If you didn't react you won't lose any points, but
you'll get a 'oops' look from your character. If you had the wrong button
pressed, you'll get 2 points off.
The key is to do a bit of guessing - there's some pattern to the buttons. And
yes, pressing a random button helps more than not pressing any at all.
--
Graduation

At the end of the last (3rd year), there will be a Graduation Ceremony held by
the E.T. Principle. Usually he'll hand out awards that are worth 300 to 500
points. Sometimes there are no awards. I think it's random.
The game ends after the Graduation Ceremony. The one with the highest score
wins the game and a diploma is shown.
