Obscure Bemani Games

What's that game next to it? Step Champ? Never heard of it.

Not a ripoff of PIU. If you were going to call it a ripoff, which it ISN'T, at least say it's a ripoff of Technomotion

---

It's a spinoff of the Bishi Bashi series, a series of competitive minigame collections. If you've ever played Point Blank or Police Trainer, imagine that with foot panels instead of light guns.

---

So was it like an AC version of DDR's Mission Mode?

---

The way he makes it sound, it wasn't really a music game.

Ah, that thing. Or the one with the crocidiles/alligators you had to stomp on tho raise the meter?

---

I might as well put a video, it was released on home consoles as Bishi Bashi Special 3.

---

Would anyone care to elaborate on Toy's March? That game has always baffled me.

DDR WARIOWARE

Basically it's just a cymbal and a snare drum.

If you play alone, you play against CPU. Difficulty usually determined according to selected song's level.

All I know about it is that. Also, Toy's March 2 has MEI, Xepher and STARS in it. MEI and Xepher are the hardest song in it AFAIK.

i know it isnt bemani, but has anyone seen the really bad game... percusion master?!?... it has an aweful version of Doctor Jones and some other bad covers on it...and it is a real bitch to play..the drums suck and the game play is a total bemani rip off

idk man, percussion master...that was just weird

i know right??

there was a pop n music on ebay in australia, it sold for $900 which is pretty amazing i think....never played it though..

BEMANI Crossovers on Toy's March series including Mei, Xepher, STARS, Pop'n Music Ron and Jet World. I also remember that Twin Bee ~Generation X~ is in it but only the title is different.
Toy's March has 2 regular stages and one EXTRA STAGE. From my experiences, as long as you win in one of the two stages, you can get access to EXTRA STAGE. For song on EXTRA STAGE, you still choose music like regular stages.
The difficulty range spans from one star to five stars. There are only two difficulties which can be chosen by hitting drum (I forgot if you hit it twice or not). Hit cymbal to confirm.
Okay, so you will face the title of the song playing on the uppermost of the screen and two lanes resembling rainbows. Notes will come down to the marker. Blue note represents drum and yellow note represents cymbal. There's also a long line with multiple symbols in it. If it reaches the marker you will have to do drum/cymbal rolls. Getting more notes in cymbal/drum rolls helps you to win the stage. However, failing in getting more notes in a roll against other player or CPU leads to a combo break.
That's all I know.

Thanks guys, interesting stuff.

You're welcome.
Oh, and one more thing. *shining* is also there.

@neodude

Toy's March on action. Song: MEI.

---

Ah thanks, quite the game. I assume there was never one of these spotted outside Asia?

I'm only bringing this up because there was nothing about it on the first page, but, were/are there any videos of MAMBO A GOGO up on YouTube/other video hosting site? I've read about it and it sounds like it could have been a really good series.
I don't know, man. I'm just curious. My apologies.
