History Videogame / DeaeTonosamaAppareIchiban

''Deae Tonosama - Appare Ichiban'' (roughly, "Meet Tonosama! Alright! Number One!") is a weird title released by Creator/{{Sunsoft}} for the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom system in early 1995. The game is almost unknown, not only because it was [[NoExportForYou never released outside Japan]], but also because it was made when the SNES was almost at the end of its commercial life, so that only very few copies were produced: it has since reached high prices on eBay (up to $150 and more) because of this scarcity.

* LetsPlay: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alHuKxWWQPc This one]] is pretty interesting because the Japanese guy doing it (in English) actually cared to translate all the in-game text and explain all the cultural references and some of the weirder sight gags.

The story: the main characters are a happy-go-lucky young feudal Japanese lord named Baka-dono ("Lord Stupid") and an equally young French nobleman named Baka-ouji ("Prince Stupid"... okay, you can sense where this is going). Japan is at peace now, but something is not right: the fathers of the two stupids, ashamed for their idiocy that is ruining their noble families, come back as ghosts and possess them, giving them all of their strength in moments of distress. And boy, will they need that: Baka-dono and Baka-ouji are going to uncover a nefarious plot that spans all over Japan, then around the world and finally into outer space... Yeah, we said this was a [[WidgetSeries Widget Game]].

* FourElementEnsemble: At the beginning of every game our heroes can choose one of four helpers that act as a smart bomb. Their powers are Air, Fire, Water and Lightning, but functionally they're all the same.

* PlayingTennisWithTheBoss: The only way to defeat the fat sultan on a FlyingCarpet at the end of the Arabian stage is to hit the oil drum he sometimes rolls on the floor. The oil leak will ignite and damage the guy (although he is floating in mid-air and [[FridgeLogic should not be affected by that]]).

* TheFlatwoodsMonster: The Flatwoods Monster is among the alien-heavy BossRush. It can throw either its glowing yellow eyes or its red head to bounce across the room. it can also shoot forth a green mist and jump around to land atop the player.

DTAI plays almost like ''VideoGame/PockyAndRocky'': it is an overhead ShootEmUp with two human characters who can jump, run, slide and kick ass with ranged and melee weapons. The main gimmick of the title is that our "heroes" [[SuperMode can turn into their insanely over-powered fathers for a while]] before returning into their pathetic young selves, but apart from this it largely plays like the before mentioned title, including smart bombs and the simultaneous 2-player action.

* PunnyName: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_Ieyasu Tokugawa YEAHyasu]] (why yes, the YEAH is actually written in Western alphabet in the game) and Oda [=NO=]bunaga. Just to make sure which one's really the bad guy.

* AndroclesLion: You rescue a beached dolphin from a trio of fishermen hitting it with spears, then he and his friends help you to reach an island.
