Pokémon Crazy Hit, identifying itself as Crazy Hit 2 on the title screen, is an unlicensed Whack-A-Mole style game for the PlayStation featuring Pokémon characters.
The game originally came with a pop'n music-style peripheral called Crazy Hit, manufactured by U.F.O. Soft (who also created the Photo Hunter games), as the game was intended for use with the peripheral, (which came with the game. The original box for the game comes with two discs. The first one features unique monsters while the other one features various Pokémon. Possibly due to the second disc featuring Pokemon, the second disc was later independently released by bootleggers separately from the peripheral.
Gameplay[]
The game is a simple whack-a-mole clone where you hit the monster/pokemon that the game tells you to hit. You have to hit a certain amount of them before continuing on to the next stage. Surprisingly, the game incredibly unforgivable, spawning waves of monsters as early as the first stage making it nearly impossible to beat with a standard controller. After beating all stages, an animation of a hammer firing a rocket plays before showing your grade level.
Notably, the game completely lacks any music and only has stock sounds and plays somewhat similar to a low-quality web game.
Trivia[]
- Due to the homebrew nature of the game, the title is very small by PlayStation standards, weighing at just 5 MB.
