Chiki Chiki Tengoku is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that makes you go, "Wait, why isn’t this more famous?" It’s a rhythm-platformer where your jumps and moves sync up with the music—kinda like if Mario had to dance his way through levels instead of just stomping goombas.

The first stage throws you right into it: bright, chunky pixel art and this ridiculously catchy tune that gets stuck in your head for days. You’ll miss a jump at first because you’re too busy bopping along, but once it clicks, the rhythm starts guiding you almost on its own. Some levels even change up the music if you take alternate paths, which is a neat touch for a Game Boy game.

It’s got that classic "easy to pick up, tough to master" thing going on—later stages get brutal with the timing. But even when you mess up, the music keeps it fun instead of frustrating. If you’ve got a soft spot for quirky retro games, this one’s a blast.
