Fangkuai Zongdongyuan (方塊總動員, literally "general mobilization of boxes") is a multicart developed by Waixing in 1996 containing two games, Mali Yisheng II (Dr. Mario II) and Shenqi Ba Bao / Bongo (Magical Eight Treasures/Basogo).
The use of -總動員 (general mobilization of-) in a title was widely popularised by Pixar, who used it for most of the Chinese titles of their films beginning with Toy Story. [1] The pause screen shows a production date of 1996, which seems plausible as Toy Story was released in late 1995.
