Pokémon Crazy Drummer, named Crazy Drummer Pikachu (疯狂鼓手皮卡丘, Fēngkuáng Gǔshǒu Píkǎqiū) in Chinese, is an unlicensed game developed for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Apart from "Pokémon" being in the title, and a mugshot of Pikachu's head being used in-game, this is mostly an original game. It was released by New Game in Russia[1] around 2002[2]. The game consists of drumming along to music to score points. The music is sourced and stolen from various stock libraries, such as SMI.
Overview[]
Pokémon Crazy Drummer is a rhythm-based game similar to that of Bemani's DrumMania. A selection of modes are included, such as Arcade and Practice, with controller testing, options, and eight settings for the drumpad's timber.

During a song, notes scroll up on the right of the screen, where the player must hit the button that corresponds with the symbol when the note is right on it's symbol (in standard rythm-game fashion). The player is given points for every note hit and by how early or late said note was hit (Perfect being 100, Great being 30, Poor being 10, and a Miss being 0).
