Okay, so Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow - Pop'n Smash!! is one of those weird, Japan-only SNES games that makes you go "what am I even playing?" at first. You control this little dog named Bow (yes, just Bow) who runs around smashing into stuff to collect points—kinda like a mix between Breakout and those old arcade games where you just bounce off everything.

The controls are simple—dash, jump, and crash into blocks—but it gets surprisingly chaotic when the screen fills up with bouncing items and obstacles. The music’s got that classic SNES charm, all bouncy and upbeat, which kinda fits the whole "dog causing mayhem" vibe. It’s not deep, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about watching Bow ricochet around like a furry pinball.

If you’re into obscure retro games or just want something silly to kill 20 minutes, this one’s a fun little oddity. Just don’t expect a masterpiece.
