Bonus video - Made a MAD video of Sushi Recall from Neeuro Memorie in which it is truly presented as a Bishi Bashi mini-game.
Mini-games
- Sushi Recall - This one seems to be quite fun. All you have to do is to choose the corresponding sushi that is all the way on the left. When the level begins, either one or more disappear and you have to choose the corresponding sushi as indicated on the plate with the question mark. Choose the wrong one and you get deducted. You can have up to 10 levels and at higher levels, about four sushis will disappear and the patterns can be complicated and randomized no matter how many types of sushis are there. I even had the guts to speed-run from levels 2-8 like I was playing Bishi Bashi games and it can be handy if there's such a mini-game like that in a Bishi Bashi game in terms of concept. It doesn't have to be sushi anyway. It's just that you need someone to cover the target part for additional challenge. At level 9, it was where the mini-game pushed my limits and how the hell can the children and elders clear further levels like that? It is fun like someone can remake this in the form of an arcade game or some kind.
- Sitting Ducks - All you have to do is remember where the ducks are facing and then follow the instructions. It may tell you things like which ducks change direction and which ones don't.
- Multitask Master - This may be interesting but it can be hard if your multitasking isn't good. I may be a sucker at multitasking though. Various obstacles include number sorting, sorting of number of polygons in the shapes, bubble tapping, maze and to know where the hidden ball is moved to. The one where the ball is covered in one of the cups and then the cups shuffling and you have to know where the ball is pretty much ruins the experience of multitasking and consumed more time for me. There are also questions telling you the color, meaning or other stuffs of the word as well as the objects that don't belong or something. In addition, there's even the simple mathematical calculation via the question as well. I was told that some lady managed to move up to level 10 in this mini-game but I had no idea on how did she do that.
- Dot Connect - The board on the right may be rotated or flipped and you have to replicate the same connections.
- Star Gazer - Like Sitting Ducks, you're supposed to remember the number of stars in the sky, the planet and even the number of shooting stars.
- Space 360 - Hold left and right buttons to move the ship and the trick is that the rotation is done automatically and you have to get around it without running into obstacles while collecting the items.
- Supreme Shopper - This is where you have to make calculations as indicated on the instructions. There will be additional tricks like discounts, taxes and so on.
- Flower Garden - This is where you have to plant the respective seeds onto the respective soils and then water the soils that need watering.
- Junction Control - The traffic light surely says it all but it controls one of the sides. There will be a waiting bar indicating the driver's patience so some strategy is needed.
- Farmhouse Friends - What a weird mini-game I had ever played. You have to know what causes the event change. It's pretty much the least favorite to be frank from the way the mini-game was designed but since this is an educational game for everyone, the in-game music is obviously unnecessary.
- Who's Who - It may be similar to Name Recall from Elevate except that it uses the visual + text comprehension instead of visual + vocal comprehension. Well, why vocal comprehension when we can actually mention listening comprehension which is the proper name?
I might have played Elevate on my Android device and it looks really educational like I can improve my vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and stuffs like that but chances are, you'll make a slow progress that way. It is a little bit useful for refreshing your memory since you will run into many new words you won't know of in the first place and the worst thing is that those words were already mentioned in the past time. It's a shame that Neeuro Memorie is less educational with a lack of proper educational content like mini-games related to vocabulary, grammar, other kinds of comprehension in which Elevate has but what is sufficient enough is the Mathematics side via Supreme Shopper and Multitask Master.
So if you're going to think of making a Bishi Bashi-like game with those mini-games taken from Neeuro Memorie, unfortunately, that will be insufficient. We can have Sushi Recall, Multitask Master and Space 360 and but that is all we can imagine of in Bishi Bashi-form.
Bishi Bashi form of Neeuro Memorie mini-games
- Sushi Recall - Regardless on the number of types of sushis, the thing you will need to concentrate is the corresponding plate colors. To add additional challenge, the plate color and the sushi will disappear and there will be a question mark on top of that plate and you have to remember that plate color. There will be time limit and your time will be graded depending on how fast you clear the stage.
- Multitask Master - Questionaire about the meaning or color of the word can be available as well as the sorting of the numbers, letters and even the number of polygons for the shapes. Unfortunately, that will require double play mode or something. Otherwise, it's not multitasking test at all. You will be graded on the number of correct answers and how fast you can answer everything.
- Space 360 - Using the left and right buttons to move the ship as using the middle button doesn't do anything. Optionally, the left and right on the D-Pad or Analog Stick can be used to move the ship as well. You will be graded on the number of objects you collect. Collision with obstacles three times may result in abrupt end of the stage. There will be time limit as well like other mini-games.
