Gameplay:

The game is an action platformer. The objective is to collect treasures 
from chests & breakable blocks. You can also earn cash from bonus games after
each stage. However, the main objective is to buy items from the shop to buy
your bride a house, a car, a garden... and even the sun! Really.

In one player mode, you need to buy most of the items. But in two player mode,
you need to at least earn more money than your friend.

How to play Bonus Games:
------------------------
1. Flag game:
Flag game is a Simon says game. Press A to raise white flag, B for red flag. I hope most
of you could understand the gist of the Engrish. You need to win 2 rounds.

Mewta > Mew-mew > Mewkichi

2. Sumo game:
Your objective is to push your opponent off the stage like in sumo wrestling. Use the D-pad
and press B to push away your opponent. Holding the B button could hold your ground but don't
hold it too long or you'll fall by yourself. You need to win 3 rounds.

Mewkichi > Mew-mew > Mewta

3. Photo game:
This is a Spot the Difference game. 'nuff said

Mew-mew > Mewta > Mewkichi
