[[caption-width-right:350:You do this ''a lot''.]]
''Hachoo!'' is a 1989 Oriental-themed side-scrolling BeatEmUp action game by Creator/{{Jaleco}}.
Set in what appears to be ancient China, the player assumes the role of a young, unnamed kung-fu warrior living in a temple, about to complete his training, when news of an all-powerful great evil about to be awakened by an EvilWizard breaks out. Eager to prove your worth, you then set out to destroy this unknown evil by yourself.
The title, according to Jaleco, comes from a Chinese karate yell (a variant of "hi-yah!") but translated to kanji. It's... not exactly well-explained.
Odd title and generic-as-hell backstory aside, one of the key selling points is the sheer amount of CameraAbuse you can pull off during gameplay. Half of your FinishingMove involves you grabbing and flinging a near-defeated opponent ''towards'' the screen, before their splattered face slowly slides off the camera. It's even on the posters.
----
!!'''Hachoo!'''
* AllMonksKnowKungFu: Rogue Shaolin monks are a recurring enemy you'll be beating up regularly.
* AllThereInTheManual: The backstory shown in-game via a two-second-clip of a statue breaking, and your character volunteering for the mission in a cutscene before the title screen appears. Any further elaboration comes from [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/hachoo/attachment/43484602/ the game's back cover, and occasionally promotional flyers]] (which sadly is available only in Japanese).
* BrokenRecord: Whether you complete the game or not, by the end of the day you'll have your unnamed protagonist's shouts "Hyap! Hyap! Hyap! Hyap!" stuck at the end of your brain. That's seriously ''all'' he says in-game!
* CameraAbuse: The fates of 50% of the mooks when you defeat them with the "throw" move. It's even plastered all over the cover and flyers!... if you defeat the FinalBoss, the game then ends with an animated montage of all the mook varieties hitting the camera, one at a time.
* ChineseVampire: ''Jiangshi'' shows up as a lesser enemy and yes, they too can be beaten down by fists or flung into the camera. These enemies tend to have their [[EyeScream eyes popping out]] when hitting the screen.
* ClothingDamage: Female mooks flung towards the screen would usually have their clothing ripped off, with occasional glimpses of a PantyShot.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The above game cover shows your unnamed protagonist as having black hair, but he's blonde in the game.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Your unnamed martial artist protagonist spends the ''entire'' game barefoot, even in outdoor environments, for reasons not explained in-game.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Befitting a kung fu-themed action game set in Ancient China, yes, everyone's indeed a fighter.
* ExcitedShowTitle: Hacooo'''''!''''' with an exclamation mark.
* FlunkyBoss: Most of the bosses will have minions surrounding them. The EvilWizard and FInalBoss can notably teleport minions into the arena (all the mooks you previously fought) to back him up.
* FlyingOnACloud: The very first stage have you flying on a nimbus cloud towards the Shaolin temple for training, with airborne enemies - flying on their own clouds - in pursuit. You'll need to defeat these enemies by punching and knocking them off their clouds.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: You, and 70% of the mooks and bosses, all fight with punches and kicks. There are mooks who use sticks and staff as weapons, but don't expect any swords or spears being used.
* GrossUpCloseUp: Most of the CameraAbuse finishing moves involves getting the face of a random mook plastered ''into'' the camera, to the point where the mook is close enough to French-kiss the player. Eww.
* MightyWhitey: Implied, although not stated in-game. Your character is blonde, despite the game being set entirely in ancient China, and is the only character in the game with a fairer skin tone. You ''could'' be a white martial arts practitioner honing your skills in the Far East, or a foreigner adopted by the Chinese temple, but it's not really made clear.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: During the stage set in an active volcano, where there's a river of lava running across the side of the screen just as you're fighting mooks. You risk suffering this trope if you step into the lava, but since you're a brawler, you can grapple and throw mooks into the lava as well.
*PowerFloats: The FinalBoss doesn't need to walk in his battle since he can just hover above the ground all over the place. It's very likely done to save animation costs.
* TitleDrop: Sometimes defeated enemies will let out a loud "Hachoo!" when pummeled. The title screen also echoes with a mighty "Hachoo!"
