Donald and the magic hat mitsuboru
What do you expect from a Disney Japanese game? Not much, right? But Donald - Mahou no Boushi or Donald and the Magical Hat is a really surprising game. At first, you're caught in the silliest game ever. The story is about Donald and Daisy, whose birthday is approaching. When the two of them are walking in the street, she suddenly falls in love for a really charming pink hat. Daisy looks at the price but thinks it's too expensive and decides not to buy it. Donald, on the other hand, pays close attention to the price and thinks about getting it for his girlfriend as a birthday present. That's when the game really starts. Donald is given a job list and each job gives you a small amount of money. You're hired to deliver newspapers (some of them in the air and all of this must be done by running from the angry dog), appear in crazy television programs (when I say crazy I mean it! You must jump in a pool with sharks, walk through tightropes and more crazy stuff) , clean windows (while avoiding getting hit by vases and kids playing baseball in the windows of the 7th floor...) and retrieve stolen birds (without waking up the house's dog. This must be done very slowly). The mini games are pretty amusing although you're gonna take some time to figure out what you're supposed to do - since it's in Japanese.
After you've got enough money to buy Daisy's present, Donald goes to buy it but it's surprised by a weird talking hat in his way. The hat says it needs Donald's help and you're then set in a quest to help him. That's when things gets interesting since the game changes from simple mini games to an amazing adventure game, as expected from a Disney game from this time.
The hat tells you locations of the bosses you need to fight in order to enter Pete's castle and break the hat's curse. As you go through the beautiful stages, some of them has special features. Some of them are in the common platform format, some of them are races, some of them turn, twist and break! There are 4 of them in total and you may pick their order as you like, as long as you finish all of them.
When you've defeated all the bosses and finally arrives to Pete's castle, defeats him and breaks the curse, the hat gives you a reward and your quest comes to an end! You then buy Daisy's hat and celebrates her birthday happily. The story is pretty lame but the sudden adventure makes up for a great experience.
