After a few sequels, the first three titles were combined and ported to PlayStation under the title Bishi Bashi Special in 1998, with a sequel combining further two arcade releases following in the next year.

The game is a compilation of mini games, some are loosely based around arcade classics such as Breakout ("Car Destroyer) and Pac-Man ("Super Gulper"). In Japanese-exclusive Salaryman Champ, the three players are represented by three archetypical office workers. A European edition titled Bishi Bashi Special was released in 2000 and compiles Bishi Bashi Special 1 and 2 on one disc, retitled Super Bishi Bashi and Hyper Bishi Bashi. Additionally, some titles have spiced things up with joysticks, steering wheels and even dance pads.Unlike Nintendo’s Mario Party or WarioWare, the minigames of Bishi Bashi tend to be unrelated to each other, lacking any consistent characters or storylines. All games in the series comprise playing through a wide variety of competitive minigames against other players.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Notable exceptions to this are Gachaga Champ and Salaryman Champ, both of which feature anime-style characters as player avatars.

Knock down bowling pins as a car, catch burgers which are falling or try and escape a guard disguised as a dustbin, whatever you play is fun and well explained. With a short tutorial before each round to teach the players how to play, the series is generally targeted towards casual gamers. The series began with Bishi Bashi Championship Mini Game Senshuken, or just simply Bishi Bashi Champ, which was released to Japanese arcades in 1996.The content within the Arcade Club Game Library database is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.
