Something's been bugging me about Kururin Paradise: the bizarre little minigame... things that require you to power off and power on to play them. They're accessible from the fourth menu selection on the main menu (after you select your user file).

I can't read any Japanese, so I've only been able to figure things out by experimentation. There are nine of these things; I've been able to figure out how many work, but not what the point is.

The, um, things:
1. No idea. The icon is Kururin on a GBA screen, and I think I've seen some sort of picture flash onscreen for a millisecond.
2. A coin shows up after you press a button. Oooookay.
3. A rather useless music sequencer (unless I'm missing something?)
4. Hit the button when kururin spins into the crosshairs. Almost a quasiminigame.
5. No idea. The icon is a gameboy twisted like taffy. I didn't try it :lol
6. Some kind of guessing game (that's what the icon indicates)? It cycles through character portraits and lands on the same character every time.
7. No idea. Icon shows... I don't know WHAT the icon shows. An airbrush head, maybe?
8. A love tester. Oh those wacky Japanese.
9. A very dumb Memory type game that you can't lose.

So... any ideas what these are supposed to be, and how 1, 5, and 7 work? I find the concept of ...er... minigames that require you to power off and power on again to be very strange. They almost seem more like pranks than minigames.

Umm...aren't those games made specifically for the two player link-up mode? At least some of them...

I thought the link mode stuff was accessed from the second menu option on the initial screen (before file select)? Anyway, I doubt it, as this stuff isn't the sort you'd bother writing link-up code for.

Yeah, the "Magic" section you speak about is mighty strange. There really isn't any point to any of them. Well, the note tester thing and the coin flip MIGHT be useful. But not worth it, hehe.

First time I wandered into that menu and chose one of the options, the game "locked up" with a bunch of Japanese text on screen. So I decided to turn it off and turn it back on and one of these odd pranks showed up. Very, very strange if you ask me, but they're probably just pranks. I guess if multiple people are playing the game, and don't know about these, you can play a prank on them. Very strange indeed.
