Crayon Shin-Chan: Ora to Shiro ha Otomodachi Dayo is a platforming game
based off the Crayon Shin-Chan manga, mostly popular in Japan although
translated and published in a couple of other countries. The game is heavily
oriented towards platforming, with only a couple of blow bubbles-based weapons
littered throughout the game's short four levels.
Shin-chan can hop onto the heads of the enemy humans that are

can also hop onto hooks and branches, and scale telephone poles and trees.
There are also three mini-games in Crayon Shin-Chan along with a fourth

your playthrough, you can also access them from the title screen using the
second option presented to you.
Also of note is a timer in each of the level. For some weird reason, if
you try to collect everything in a level, there simply is not enough time, at
