Four-player madness!
You can’t spell Nippon Marathon without ‘P’, ‘A’, ‘R’, ‘T’ and *checks letters* ‘I’, we suppose… Solo play is supported, but grab up to four pads and enjoy the supreme silliness of gaming’s greatest marathon.Giant face-slapping fish! Whatever the cause, hop in and out for the ultimate, flexible party get-together! Ichi! False doors! Heck, anything is possible…
Drop-in drop-out play!
Need a bathroom break to squeeze pineapple juice out of your foam lobster claws? Panes of glass! Hajime!!! Flying fruit! Perhaps you’ll find time for an impromptu spot of slot machine fun? More Shiba Inu! Barrels! Shiba Inu! Traffic! Dodge and dive over the lot or suffer the painful and embarrassing consequences of physics-based collisions…
Tons of surprises!
You never know what will happen next in Nippon Marathon. Lobster-man J DARWIN, onesie-obsessive Elizabeth Nishibori, school uniform fan Zenbei “Xen Bae” and the completely normal Snuguru Maestro are among the challengers vying for the podium!
Epic pratfalls!
Swinging poles! Ni! EARTHQUAKES!!!!! Maybe a news anchor will jetpack in to interview you on the racetrack? Hurdle barrels, outrun Shiba Inu and dive out of the paths of bicycles - all while chucking fruit at your opponents and dashing across planks precariously balanced over waterfalls - in an unreal experience that must be played to be believed.
