No too long ago, I was made aware of Super Famicom games based on anime characters being auctioned on Ebay. (no intended plug, gomen!) Anyway, one was the Wedding Peach game, but the price had gone above my wallet. Fortunately, I found someone ELSE selling the same game - and bid on it. I stayed up until nearly 4 AM in the morning to make sure I got it. Well, I did, and translated the manual. Super Famicom games work on US Snes units by an adapter, Game Genie, or taking needle nose pliers and removing 2 notches of plastic that fit into the notches of US SNES cartridges. I'm not responsible if you damage your SNES if you can't remove them safely enough even though I've done it and is probably the cheapest of your 3 alternatives. This is a cute game and has nice music. Anywho, the manual.

Points scored while transformed become 1.5 times!       (In other words, if you usually score 10 points for something, you will score 15 points in a game while transformed. It does make a difference to play a game transformed!)   * Piko Piko Jamapii    (Peek a boo Jamapii (?))       [jouge] [sayuu] no 4 tsu no [ana] kara boku ga [kao] w(o) [da]su kara, Because I show my face out of 4 holes up and down, left and right,       Controller's ABXY Buttons w(o) [o]shite umaku tataite kudasai. hit me (by) pressing the controller's ABXY buttons skillfully.         [ana] no [iro] to Button no [iro] wa issho da yo.

The holes match the same buttons on the controller, or are supposed to. :) but the positions of the holes match the same positions of the ABXY buttons anyway.)         tokidoki, Yousuke mo [kao] w(o) [da]su kedo machigatte tataichau to [genten] ni natchau kara [ki] w(o) tsukeru n da pii. ?]Sometimes, even though Yousuke's face will pop up, be careful because you'll lose points by making a mistake and hitting him pii.   * dokidoki Slot         [atama] * [karada] * [ashi] no 3 tsu ni [waka]kareta minna no [e] ga kurukuru [mawa]tteru yo. ?]Pictures of everyone divided into 3 parts of Head * Body * Legs spin around!         A Button w(o) [o]shite [ue] no kara [jun] ni [to]mete itte, Pushing the A Button stops them in order from the top,       dareka no [e] w(o) [kansei]sasete ne. completing someone's picture.       [ona]ji [iro] no [e] w(o) soro ereba [kansei] da pii.

I don't know exactly oboete oku... Keep in mind? whatever...)   (Anyway, I thought the panels got mixed up each time they all were turned back over. I should watch this one a few times.)   * Search for the Four Sacred Somethings       Search for the Legendary Four Sacred Somethings by pushing the A Button to pick up bouquets spread out on the ground.       ichido [mi]tsukeru to [tsugi] wa chigau tokoro he kakurechau yo.

But, when I'm hidden in the grass, you can't hit me!       [deguchi] kara detekuru tokoro w(o) nerawareru to chotto komaru dechu pi. ?]I will be a little embarassed to come out of the exit you aim at.       (Does this mean trying to aim where Jamapii comes out may not work? Do I even have this right?)   * wai wai tsuri [taikai] The Exciting Fishing Tournament       (aka the Noisy Fishing Tournament)       Pool ni [hana]shita [kingyo] w(o) takusan tsuri agete ne. ?]You get to do a lot of fishing for goldfish released into the pool.       A Button de esa w(o) otoshite [juuji] Key de [kingyo] no [kuchi] no tokoro made motte itte ne. With the A Button, drop your bait and move it with the cross key until it's up to the goldfish's mouth.       soko de A Button w(o) [o]su to tsuri agerareru yo. Then you get your fish by pressing the A Button.       [kingyo] wa [iro] ni yotte [ten suu] ga chigau kara, yoku [sakusen] w(o) [kanga]ete ne. ??]Because the goldfish are different in color and so are the points scored, consider your strategy well.   ---   p.12   * Ojama Catcher       A Button de [migi] ga wa ni, Y Button de [hidari] ga wa ni Crane ga ugokara, When you move the crane with the A button on the right and with the Y button on the left,       nuigurumi no ue de Button w(o) hanashite ne. release the buttons when the crane is above a stuffed toy.       [ichido] tsukami ni itta Crane wa moto no tokoro ni modoru made [ugo]kasenai kara shinchou ni. ?]Once the crane has grabbed, until it returns to its starting place, you won't be able to operate it.       (Not sure what "kara shinchou ni" adds to this... gomen!!)       boku no [ugo]ki ni mo [chuui] shite ne. Pay attention even to my movements.   * Where is the ojama?       hajime ni [ki]merareta ojama [zoku] no [e] w(o) oboete, Remember the arranged Ojamas pictures at the beginning,       saigo ni doko ni attaka w(o) [a]teru Game da yo. ?]the game is to guess at the end where they were.       (Ie. Pictures shown at the start of each round are the pictures for each girl to find.)       waku no [iro] wa Momoko ga Pink, Yuri ga [cha iro], Hinagiku ga [midori] da yo. The frame colors are Pink for Momoko, Brown for Yuri, and Green for Hinagiku!       (Then the 3 pictures are moved around. 3 of the 8 doors open up, and the trick is to remember the last position of the picture you must find. The only other way to explain this is the Bonus Round in the game Tapper. Some bottles or cans are shown in a line, and someone shakes all of them except for one. Remember which one and follow it until the cans or bottles are done moving and you score the bonus if you pick the one that wasn't shaken. If you've never seen the arcade game Tapper, then I cannot be of more help.)       hayaku [a]teta hou ga [tokuten] ga [oo]ku [hai]ru n da pii. The one who gets it first is the one who scores the most points pii.       (If you pick right, the points go as follows: First pick 50 points, 2nd pick 40 points, and 3rd pick 30 points. If you do not pick correctly, you score nothing! I'm not sure what you score if you pick someone else's picture! ie if you are Momoko and select the door for Hinagiku's picture of Jamapii.)       [zenbu] de 3 [kai] [shoubu] da yo. In all it's a 3 round game!       (You get 3 tries to find your picture of Jamapii behind the 8 doors.)   ---   Page 13 has some note that might be about not playing with the game for 10 to 15 minutes and some sort of possible screen saving thingy. I won't translate it.         The 2nd note probably has advice about the AC adaptor and possible other care and use for the game unit and cartridge.         I won't bother to translate these notes.

Review of this game   It's a very cute game based on the anime design of the Wedding Peach manga characters. A little digitized voice adds a nice touch. This game requires a multiplayer adaptor for 3 player game, otherwise in 1 or 2 player games, the computer plays for the other non-human players.   Some things I wish it had: A true 1 or 2 player mode without computer players. All the games are timed, so it would have been nice to adjust the amount of time you got or set a scoring limit. Also the text that pops up during the story mode often does not pause long enough to read without having to videotape and pause the video. At least during the games, the instructions always pop up reminding you how to play. It would be nice to turn them off, but at least you can press A to speed up those messages and get past them.   Some nice things it does have: Excellent music, graphics, and it even has sorta multiple endings. In the final battle, Igunisu and Blackie can escape! If I had the Multi Player 5 device, I think this game would have high replay value and be a hit at parties. The 8 mini games are both fun and a little aggravating. Only 2 of them require luck while the other 6 are skill-based.
