Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Seriously!!? Shinken Battle (ボボボーボ・ボーボボ マジで！！？真拳勝負, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Majide!!? Shinken Shoubu) is a video game for the Game Boy Advance, based on the manga and anime series Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. It is the second Game Boy Advance game in the series. It was released on August 7, 2003 in Japan and was developed and published by Hudson Soft.
Plot[]
The plot continues where the first game left off, but it also loosely adapts many plot arcs from the original manga, from the rebels' first encounter with Hatenko, up to the Hallelujah Land arc. The game also introduces a new antagonist not seen in the manga: Earth.
Gameplay[]
Unlike the previous Bo-bobo GBA game, this game is much more open to player choice and replayability. In Hallelujah Land (where the game takes place), the player has to face each attraction the evil amusement park has to offer. These dungeon-like areas are filled with enemies to fight and cards to collect and use in battle. Some attractions contain one or more mini-bosses, but all end with the player fighting the main boss of that area. After defeating all the attractions, the player then faces the Final Boss and completes the game.
This is where the game's replayability features come into play. The player is given the choice to start over their game, and when they do, they keep all their cards and experience from the previous playthrough. They can then receive new cards as they progress through the game. There are also many changes with each play through, such as different NPCs appearing in some locations as well as characters having new dialogue.
