Cool Cool Toon

About

This rhythm-based game from SNK turns music into chaotic dance battles. Players use the analog stick to guide a marker around a spinning circle, pressing A, B, X, or Y buttons at precise moments. Each missed note disrupts the flow, and too many errors end the round. Single-player challenges can be matched against another human in split-screen mode, turning matches into a competition. The game’s charm lies in its goofy premise and relentless pace. A talking rabbit named Yusa lures you into a monster-filled town where dancing is the only solution. With a 2000 Japan-exclusive release, its quirky style and tight controls make it a cult classic for retro rhythm fans. Split-screen mode adds replay value, though the difficulty spikes quickly for newcomers.

Storyline

Welcome to Cool Cool Toon! One day, while you were watching TV, a rabbit(?) jumped out from the monitor and dragged you into the TV! "Uwah! Where is this? What's going on!?" And there before your eyes was the town full of monsters, "Cool Cool Town". Then the rabbit said, "My name's Yusa. I brought you here to so that you can use your Flitz -I mean- dances to clean up this town." But, you explain, you aren't the dancing type. "Eh!? ... Well, I guess you can go back home through that TV. Huh? This TV's no good. Something seems to be wrong with it." Uh oh! Seems like you can't go back to your own world. And then Yusa said, "Listen to me! In this world, Flitz is the best way of doing things around here. So if you win the "Flitzing Tournament" and get the grand prize, you just might find a TV that'll send you back. Y'know, to your home. You do want to go home, right? Then it's settled! I've got a lot to teach you then, and we've got a lot of Flitzing to do!" And just like that, together with Yusa, you have to aim to be the Flitzing champion to Cool Cool Town. L'see now, wonder what things will be waiting for you up ahead...
