Removed those as they're indexes and not meant to be used as tropes, and Full Motion Video will apparently be split.


* EdutainmentGame: Kinda. While the premise is educational, and is meant to teach children about various construction machines, the game praises you for doing actions that aren't really a good idea on an actual construction site.

There's four usable machines: the excavator, the bulldozer, the steamroller and the wrecking ball. The A button will move your vechicle to the left, C to the right, and B will perform a special action. You have to get a medal in all four of them, and then you can set off the detonation as a reward.
