Oh man, Bikkuri Nekketsu Shinkiroku! - Dokodemo Kin Medal is one of those weird, charming Game Boy titles that never left Japan. You're basically running around collecting gold medals in this fast-paced action game that feels like a mix between a platformer and a collect-a-thon.

The controls are simple – just jump and grab stuff – but the levels get surprisingly tricky. One minute you're hopping between rooftops, the next you're dodging obstacles while the screen scrolls automatically. The pixel art has that classic Kunio-kun vibe (same developers), with little dudes bouncing around like hyperactive schoolkids.

What's cool is how frantic it gets when you're trying to chain medal pickups without falling or getting hit. There's something satisfying about nailing a perfect run, even if the whole thing feels a bit chaotic at first. Definitely one of those "just one more try" kind of games.

If you're into obscure Japanese Game Boy gems, this one's a fun little time capsule.
