The macho thrust of the game cherishes the world view of the past series!

This title is a casual rhythm game in which players tap along to the notes, which is now a standard smartphone game. However, its game screen is followed by a mysterious image of a mysterious macho performing an original dance to the music, but this is exactly what makes "Super Big Brother" unique.

The current fad for gym attendance and muscle training, the emergence of muscle comedians such as Nakayamakini-kun and Toshiaki Kasuga of Audrey, who use muscles as a source of laughter, the "How many kilos can you hold a dumbbell? and an animated version of "How Many Kilos Can You Hold a Dumbbell?

However, some 30 years ago, in 1992, when muscles were only seen in bodybuilders and action movies, there was a shooting game that made a strong appeal to muscles, and that was "Super Big Brother," the subject of this app game. The game was set in outer space, but it featured muscles in both enemies and allies, and the game's macho worldview, as well as its eccentric character designs and challenging gameplay, made it a hot topic and a series that was sure to gain popularity.

In keeping with this trend, the title screen shows a large image of Samson and Adon, a pair of skinhead bodybuilders who are Idaten and Benten's younger brothers. Many people may have misunderstood that Idaten and Benten are not the "big brothers" who have graced the packaging of the Super Big Brother series, but that Idaten is actually the "big brother" and that Samson and Adon are the "super big brothers" in the "Super Big Brother" series. Adon was treated as an optional extra for his own machines (Idaten and Benten).

The best part is that you can play the rhythm game with sounds by Koji Hayama!

In fact, the "Cho-Aniki" series, which is the subject of this title, is also highly acclaimed for its background music. The BGM by sound creator Koji Hayama enhances the game's unique worldview and has become an important element in the series. In this title, Hayama's masterpieces such as "Sexy Dynamite," "Niniginaki Boss," and "German German German" can be played as a rhythm game, and those who have played the Cho-Brotherhood series are sure to be excited about this.

In addition to the BGM used in past games, songs provided by Audiostock are included, and each song has a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. Each song has a beginner level, intermediate level, and advanced level.

Adon is the only character that can be used from the beginning, but once the conditions are met, he is unlocked, and characters such as Sanson, Idaten, Benten, and Uminin can be purchased with gems, the in-game currency. The conditions for unlocking Uminin are particularly strict, and require clearing the NO1-7 songs at an advanced level A rank or higher.

The familiar call-outs from bodybuilding competitions are also available in this game: ......

In the game, players tap, continuously tap, or hold down the various notes that fall from the screen to create combos. During this process, the muscular Adon and Samson dance to the rhythm. Furthermore, as the combos continue, the characters will pause at certain times and say, " I 'm ready! which is a familiar call at real-life bodybuilding competitions. In the first playthrough, you may be distracted by the sudden change of masks and forget to tap the button. All the other calls, except for the initial ones, are unlocked through the game's achievements and can be purchased with gems.

The game can be played without paying, but after playing, you will be forced to watch an advertisement video, and the number of game plays is capped by the stamina system, so you can only play up to five times in a row. To play more than that, it takes more than 10 minutes to recover from one play. Paying 5 gems and doing a protein charge restores all 5 lives. If you want to purchase characters, songs, calls, and accessories, as well as consider smooth game play, you may want to pay a little more.

Incidentally, there is also a gacha available, which, when drawn, provides avatar items for changing hairstyles and costumes. What is a costume for a half-naked macho man? It may be too much of a story, but it might be good for Idaten and Benten. It could be said that the strong story element is also typical of the super big brother.

However, since the distribution has only just started, there are not many songs, etc. We hope to see more in the future.
