Family Trainer: Rai-rai Kyonshis - Baby Kyonshi no Amida Daibouken

About

Family Trainer: Rairai Kyonshizu is the final entry in Bandai's series of games for the Family Trainer peripheral, a foot-based input device. You play a baby jiang shi, a hopping undead creature from Chinese folklore, navigating wobbly legs and giggling its way through mini-games. Each challenge requires quick footwork and timing, as you stomp, kick, or balance to progress. The goal is simple: help the baby reunite with its parents by climbing a giant amida ladder, which randomly assigns the next task from a pool of physical challenges. This one-of-a-kind title leans into its oddball charm, blending slapstick humor with the physicality of the Power Pad. While the mini-game variety keeps things brisk, the unpredictable ladder system means no two playthroughs feel alike. As the last game to use the peripheral, it’s a nostalgic endpoint for collectors and a quirky example of 80s experimentation with motion controls. The mix of goofy character design and tactile gameplay makes it a cult curiosity.
