Mystery DokiDoki Theatre

I've been playing Milon's DokiDoki Adventure the last few days and I must say this is a great game. Very fun yet hard enough to curse at every so often. Secrets and mini games hidden throughout.

The one thing is only 4 or 5 things were translated, like the Password screen and a sign at the end of some levels. You come across cut scenes and houses where the locals speak Japanese and even the menus aren't translated. Did I just start the game, or choose the Password screen?

I have taken to adding my own story and dialog similar to MST3K. It's all fun and good. I'm on the third world after defeating evil cake land and it's Monkey overlord.

Anyone else enjoying this game? One of the more interesting platformers I have played in a while.

It's the sequil to Milon's Secret Castle. It was previously only released in Japan so being able to play it at all (legall) in America is great. It's not very much like the original and more of a platformer. Mario/Sonic style with good graphics and entertaining levels. Most levels are open exploration with no timer. I ran across one level so far with a forced-moving scroll.

Not very many DokiDoki soldiers around here.

Here's a video of the VC version to generate some interest. It's the first couple levels. The first 3 don't do it much justice and are more trainer levels, they're very easy. The wind level is where it starts to get harder. Gives you a basic feel of how the game is. Each world apparently has a theme, first is plant/forest, second is cake/snacks and third is a musical castle which I am currently on. Pretty interesting to watch the changes with each world.

I just watched that video. It actually looks pretty cool. I think this could be my next VC purchase when it comes to Europe.

Blimey, I never thought I'd say that I would actually want to play a sequel to the crap-tacular Milon's Secret Castle.

It's pretty addicting and I want to practice Japanese so I know what they're saying. I swear the dude was telling me his wife would blow my bubbles if I found some magical instrument. Alas, that wasn't it.

If I have enough points left over after buying Cruis'n this week I can possibly gift it your way so you can play it early. If that's possible.

Sorry, can't gift across the Atlantic. But thanks, I appreciate the gesture.

Well that's a bummer. I guess the European swallow doesn't travel this far or it's difficult to grasp a VC title by the husk.

I couldn't get the video to play right now. Milon's secret castle craptacular? I never thought that.

This game looks cool. I bet it's easier than secret castle. I never could get anywhere in that damn game.

I know games were meant to be harder back then, but Mion's Secret Castle was difficult mostly because of its terrible design. This review explains everything that is wrong with that game:

Unfortunately, Hudson put this "smash through walls" ability to full use by making it necessary to shoot every single freaking brick on every single freaking screen with those death-bubbles in order to find, well, pretty much anything. Power-ups, shops, money, passages -- you name it, you had to shoot unmarked bricks in order to find it.

Good to see another MST3K fan on the board.

In retrospect, that review of Secret Castle does help explain why I could never get anywhere in the game.

I guess I just liked it as a kid because there weren't many NES games back then that had much of an "adventure" feel and this was one of them.

Woooooo finally beat that stupid *#*&% #(*&% (%*&(*&% SNOWMAN on world 5!! Damn that was hard. I really love the iceboarding level that I kept playing so I could go back to the snowman with the green suit for another try.

Fire World here I come!

Don't look at me that way! You would be wooting too if you spent 2 hours trying to beat a bleeping cute snowman!

.... alright fire world is ridiculously hard.

Hooray I'm on the final boss! It's a she-devil disguised as a farting frog king. Such funny creative stuff throughout this game. I won't say most of it in case anyone gets it so they can have some surprises.

The fire boss wasn't too difficult once I had a battle plan and went back to get a green suit. I found 2 ways to kind of cheat against it, so that worked out well. I almost had it beat with the single-hit red suit and knew I would win going back for the three-hit green. The last world is by far my favorite with some great levels and 3 bosses.

Taking a break before trying the devil chick again. She's real tough, but I will beat this game! It's cuteness is taunting me.

If anyone has been interested by this thread I highly suggest checking this game out. Of course I will come back and woot some more when she goes down.

Thanks Adam. As for my first DokiDoki Adventure..


Devil chick has gone down! Wooo. Took a while but I eventually got a pattern that worked well. Barely beat her. I plan on playing this game again some day. It's so fun. If anyone needs help ask away. Here's some other pics from the credits.






Anyone speak Japanese? Is this one thanking me?
