Hey You, Pikachu! using the Switch 2 microphone is becoming more and more likely if you can use the Switch 2 mouse controls for this.

Wow. What A Blast
Preliminary: Wow... I thought I would just briefly play this and move on. As a kid we didn't have the SNES mouse so I couldn't play this tho I must've at a friend's or something because it was immediately quite familiar. I am thoroughly impressed with the customizability of this, from the music to the stamps to the animation. I …
Preliminary: Wow... I thought I would just briefly play this and move on. As a kid we didn't have the SNES mouse so I couldn't play this tho I must've at a friend's or something because it was immediately quite familiar. I am thoroughly impressed with the customizability of this, from the music to the stamps to the animation. I made a little animation out of it with its own music lol and had a blast doing it. I also played the minigame. So much to this.
Look: 8.5/10 Functional, unique, beyond MS Paint for its time especially.
Sound: 9/10 I love that you can pick from different tunes to have in background, and even to mute it, but also the music making aspect was amazing. I wound up afk-logging from OSRS because I got so into this... And no matter what you do, it seems, the tunes sound good that you make :-p
Play: 9/10 Impressive. Not that I often play art creation games, but this is extremely impressive for its time and thoroughly fun, especially thanks to the music and animation aspects.
Feel: 9/10 Strong feelings because a) it's a game I always wanted to play and b) it reminds me of Nickelodeon 3d Maker but an early version of the concept. And so early indeed!
Attachment: 8/10 How often do I return to art creation games? Not often. But the music making part of this, I really might return to.
Overall: 8.7/10

I loved this game so much as a child
I may have experienced euphoria playing this.
In fact, I think I did, just thinking about it makes my neurons do happy dances, though to be fair that original euphoria could never be captured again in my current neural configuration. :D

Read moreI loved this game when I was a little kid. Back then, we only had a 3 or 4 games for our SNES because they tended to be so expensive, but we managed to find this one at a used game store. I loved the bug game, and creating the music was a lot of fun. It has a lot of random features, but it was fun to mess around with and figure out what you could create using the paint and music tools.
