History VideoGame / WakuWaku7

* MakeMeWannaShout: Mauru's LimitBreak, as can be largely expected from an expy of Totoro.

A FightingGame created in 1996 by Creator/{{Sunsoft}} for UsefulNotes/NeoGeo, UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn and re-released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 as part of the ''Sunsoft Collection'' in 2008, it's their second venture in the genre after ''VideoGame/GalaxyFight'' (and would be followed in 1998 with ''VideoGame/AstraSuperstars''). The [[ExcusePlot story]] is about the seven magical [[MacGuffin WakuWaku Balls]], artifacts that will grant a wish to their owner: soon enough, whoever is possessing one of them is looking for the other owners and their Ball, hoping to get their wish granted by a fairy that lives in the spheres.

* '''Bonus-Kun''': A (literal) punching bag with a red headband who originated from Sunsoft's previous fighter ''Galaxy Fight''. He plays the role of the BonusBoss.

* BonusBoss: The aptly-named Bonus-kun, who was first featured in ''Galaxy Fight''.

* WhipItGood: Dandy-J's weapon of choice.

** Dandy-J’s daughter Natsumi is no slouch either, having a larger bust and a BareYourMidriff outfit.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Two characters have SpinAttack [[LimitBreak Limit Breaks]]: Rai and Fernandez.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Done subtly with Arina during some of her animations. Done not so subtly with Natsumi, especially when her dad wins a match. Hilariously, her cat’s fat belly bounces alongside her breasts.

** Bonus-kun is an obvious parody of Ryu from ''StreetFighter''. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It-TL2jUWMI stage music]] IS Ryu's theme. The home ports also give him two extra colours. One with a red body and yellow headband which makes him look like Ken. And one which give him a black body, red headband and red eyes which makes him look like Akuma.

* BlindingBangs: We only see Tesse's eyes very briefly during her Hara Hara attack.

** Thankfully, he is highly susceptible to Tesse's Forward-B attack/B-throw, especially since he will ALWAYS rush you until he's right in range of it if there's any considerable distance between you and him, and as long as you get the timing down for juggling him when he bounces back the fight's in the bag. It even works when he's in HaraHara mode (though Tesse will still take a bit of damage from it.)

* ThisIsADrill: Politank has drills and he's not afraid to use them.

* '''Mauru''': This huge purple cat/rabbit thing appears to be an expy of ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'''s titular creature. He's always followed around by a little girl called Mugi, who got lost from her parents. Mauru is surprisingly agile for his size.

* AssKicksYou: Some of Arina's moves has her utilize her large butt to bash the enemy.

* AssKicksYou: Some of Arina's moves has her utilize her ample posterior to bash the enemy.

* GogglesDoNothing: Rai's fashion choice, as well as Arina and all of her friends, not to mention everyone in Rai's background... It appears goggles are very popular across the galaxy.

* ThanksForTheMammary: Rai accidentally gropes Arina in the ending comic.

* AssKicksYou: Some of Arina's moves.

* GogglesDoNothing: Rai's fashion choice ...and Arina's... and all of Arina's friends... and everyone in Rai's background...

* MsFanservice: Arina. She has the most developed body of the whole cast, her blue suit is very skintight, and her moves involve kicks showing off her long legs and butt.

** Protip: Fernandez is highly susceptible to Tesse's Forward-B attack/B-throw, especially since he will ALWAYS rush you until he's right in range of it if there's any considerable distance between you and him, and as long as you get the timing down for juggling him when he bounces back the fight's in the bag. It even works when he's in HaraHara mode (though Tesse will still take a bit of damage from it.)

* '''Arina''': An athletic, cheerful girl with unexplained [[LittleBitBeastly rabbit ears]] who wants to use the seven Balls to find true love. She may be an expy of Roomi, the CatGirl from Sunsoft's previous ''Galaxy Fight''.
* '''Rai''': A HotBlooded, loud-mouthed, rowdy Japanese student who is always looking for adventure and attacks with a variety of [[ShockAndAwe electrical-based moves]].

* '''Fernandez/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Fernandeath]]''': The FinalBoss of the game, Fernandez is an EldritchAbomination who was [[SealedEvilInACan sealed inside the [=WakuWaku=] balls]], only to break free once all seven were gathered.

* '''Fernandez/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Fernandeath]]''': The FinalBoss of the game, Fernandez is an EldritchAbomination who was [[sealed inside the [=WakuWaku=] balls, only to break free once all seven were gathered.
