Bishi Bashi could be thought of as a video game equivalent of a Variety Show, with the games finding humour in (mainly) Japanese culture, including parodies of other games and TV shows - or just by being plain weird. 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. Bishi Bashi is a game that I like because it's a prime example of how graphics mean nothing, it's gameplay that matters and I think anyone who's played Bishi Bashi will see what I mean.

A few games is nothing but button bashing as you press any button as hard or as fast as you can and a driving game requires just a press of left and right to dodge the other cars (there are no corners to turn) but this doesn't affect anything for the truth is that Bishi Bashi is the perfect party game - end of story. Unlike the arcade game, the ported minigames do not always use the red, green and blue buttons of the PlayStation joypad; "button bashing" minigames allow the player to use the analog sticks or the shoulder buttons as well as the regular buttons. Arcade-Perfect Port: The console ports are generally very faithful to the arcade originals, aided by the relatively simple 2D graphics.

The arcade game controls are very simple; each player has a red, green and blue button, positioned left, centre and right respectively. 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.
