is a parody of the genre, with a mishmash of enemy designs and visuals placing it into Cute 'em Up territory. Knock down bowling pins as a car, catch burgers which are falling or try and escape a guard disguised as a dustbin, whatever you play is fun and well explained. Bishi Bashi could be thought of as a video game equivalent of a Variety Show, with the games finding humour in (mainly) Japanese culture, including parodies of other games and TV shows - or just by being plain weird. Bishi Bashi (ビシバシチャンプ Bishi Bashi Chanpu) is one in a series of Konami arcade games and PlayStation games.

In Japan, the series has continued in arcades and also on mobile platforms, with Bishi Bashi Channel from 2018 being the latest installment. Each game in the compilation contains mini games, some are loosely based around arcade classics such as Breakout ("Car Destroyer) and Pac-Man ("Super Gulper"). Some titles of the series, however, make use of a steering wheel (Handle Champ), two joysticks (Gachaga Champ), or a dance pad (Step Champ) for the purpose of controls instead of the three buttons.

A few games is nothing but button bashing as you press any button as hard or as fast as you can and a driving game requires just a press of left and right to dodge the other cars (there are no corners to turn) but this doesn't affect anything for the truth is that Bishi Bashi is the perfect party game - end of story. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. However, despite gaining a warm critical reception and something of a cult following, the series hasn’t seen an official release in the west since that. While a couple of the early arcade machines received international releases, in the west the series is perhaps best known for the expanded re-release Bishi Bashi Special, released in 2000 for PlayStation. Party Game: The games are simple and primarily meant to be played against other players, with some machines allowing up to 4 players at the same time.

In arcade games like Hyper Bishi Bashi Champ, the player can win extra points by pressing an additional "finish" button after reaching the maximum score in certain games. The new rotating buttons, as well as the cabinet's stand BishiBashi Channel offers originate from MÚSECA cabinets, another video game developed by Konami and developed for arcades, though not many remain today as a result of many MÚSECA cabinets being converted to BishiBashi Channel cabinets following the game's discontinuation. Bishi Bashi ( ビシバシ, Bishi Bashi ) is a series of video games by Konami for arcades, mobile phones, PlayStation and Windows.
