4 | The titular egg-shaped character who's [[https://www.ktv.jp/en/hachiemon.html the mascot for Kansai TV]] is on a quest to collect detachable lips around Japan after a herd of cows had theirs stolen. To get around, he must use his bill-like lips to grapple on surfaces and smack foes. |

6 | !!This game smooches the following tropes: |
7 | * ActionBomb: Black hachiemon enemies detonate when the hero gets close to them. |
8 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: Certain bosses have a weak spot and will take double damage and flash red when hit there. However, their MercyInvincibility will last longer in this case. |
9 | * BattleBoomerang: Hachiemon's lips can be thrown as a boomerang to damage enemies and reveal hidden items. |
10 | * CreditsGag: In the staff roll, hiragana characters that resemble a pair of lips are highlighted. |
11 | * DifficultyLevels: Harder difficulties raise the amount of lips required to clear each level and spawns more enemies -- moving [[SpikesOfDoom spike balls]] in particular. |
12 | * GRatedSex: When Hachiemon kisses certain girls, they pop out an infant that's worth an OneUp. |
13 | * GagLips: The Game. |
14 | * IdleAnimation: If the hero is left standing on the spot for a couple of seconds, he turns around and [[ToiletHumor farts]]. Characters on the screen will {{facefault}} when this happens, but it has no practical function and will leave Hachiemon vulnerable to various hazards. |
15 | * KissOfDeath: Hachiemon can kiss enemies to make them embarrassed. In this state they can be used as platforms and grapple targets. |
16 | * MacroZone: One powerup makes Hachiemon tiny so he can go through single-block sized passages. |
17 | * TheMaze: One stage is a door maze and two latter ones are a maze of tunnels. |
18 | * PistolWhipping: The gunslinger boss of stage 21 does this after being knocked off his horse. |
19 | * PlanetOfHats: In the game's setting, every creature and every object has large red lips attached to them. Even the island the final stage takes place in is shaped like one. |
20 | * PlatformHell: Some of the latter stages demand fancy grappling over bottomless pits. |
21 | * RollingAttack: Hachiemon can spin dash, but only for four revolutions at a time or he'll get dizzy. |
22 | * ScaryStingingSwarm: Stage 8 ends with a boss battle against a swarm of bees. |
23 | * SegmentedSerpent: |
24 | ** The stage 17 boss is a conga line of hachiemon people. |
25 | ** The stage 22 boss is a hydra that divides themselves into serpents with spiky tails. |
26 | * SlippySlideyIceWorld: Stages 5 and 6 are ice-themed. |
27 | * VideoGameFlight: The powerup in stages 16 and 17 allows Hachiemon to fly. |
28 | * VocalDissonance: Hachiemon is a cute clumsy guy who sounds like a baritone. |
