Waku Waku 7 (c) 1996 Sunsoft.

A hilarious parody of different styles of anime and video games featuring seven selectable characters and a nasty end boss! It's worth playing for the dialogue alone.

- TRIVIA -

Released in November 1996.

'Waku Waku' is Japanese onomatopoiea for sounds of excitement.

The bonus stage battle against Bonus Kun, the Shotokan punching bag, is a parody of Ryu and Ken of "Street Fighter" fame. Watch him imitate all of their best moves! It also appears that Bonus Kun's music stage is a parody of 'The Theme of Ryu', which is, as the name implies, the theme music for Ryu in "Street Fighter II - The World Warrior".

Pony Canyon released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Waku Waku 7 - PCCB-00215) on 21/08/1996.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Alternate Costume Colors : press B, C, or D when selecting a fighter on the character selection screen.

* Choose Black Color : on character selection screen, press Down+A+B+C+D simultaneously.

* Change Winning Mark : on character selection screen, press Left+Start simultaneously. If done right, a voice will be heard. Doing the code again changes the marks back to normal.

* Change CPU Character Color : on character selection screen, press Upperright+Start+A simultaneously.

* Widescreen Mode : on character selection screen, press Right+Start+C simultaneously.
