2	''Hachiemon'' is a 2003 Japan-exclusive PlatformGame developed by Natsume and published by Namco for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance.
3
4	The titular egg-shaped character who's [[https://www.ktv.jp/en/hachiemon.html the mascot for Kansai TV]] is on a quest to collect detachable lips around Japan after a herd of cows had theirs stolen. To get around, he must use his bill-like lips to grapple on surfaces and smack foes.
5	----
6	!!This game smooches the following tropes:
7	* ActionBomb: Black hachiemon enemies detonate when the hero gets close to them.
8	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Certain bosses have a weak spot and will take double damage and flash red when hit there. However, their MercyInvincibility will last longer in this case.
9	* BattleBoomerang: Hachiemon's lips can be thrown as a boomerang to damage enemies and reveal hidden items.
10	* CreditsGag: In the staff roll, hiragana characters that resemble a pair of lips are highlighted.
11	* DifficultyLevels: Harder difficulties raise the amount of lips required to clear each level and spawns more enemies -- moving [[SpikesOfDoom spike balls]] in particular.
12	* GRatedSex: When Hachiemon kisses certain girls, they pop out an infant that's worth an OneUp.
13	* GagLips: The Game.
14	* IdleAnimation: If the hero is left standing on the spot for a couple of seconds, he turns around and [[ToiletHumor farts]]. Characters on the screen will {{facefault}} when this happens, but it has no practical function and will leave Hachiemon vulnerable to various hazards.
15	* KissOfDeath: Hachiemon can kiss enemies to make them embarrassed. In this state they can be used as platforms and grapple targets.
16	* MacroZone: One powerup makes Hachiemon tiny so he can go through single-block sized passages.
17	* TheMaze: One stage is a door maze and two latter ones are a maze of tunnels.
18	* PistolWhipping: The gunslinger boss of stage 21 does this after being knocked off his horse.
19	* PlanetOfHats: In the game's setting, every creature and every object has large red lips attached to them. Even the island the final stage takes place in is shaped like one.
20	* PlatformHell: Some of the latter stages demand fancy grappling over bottomless pits.
21	* RollingAttack: Hachiemon can spin dash, but only for four revolutions at a time or he'll get dizzy.
22	* ScaryStingingSwarm: Stage 8 ends with a boss battle against a swarm of bees.
23	* SegmentedSerpent:
24	** The stage 17 boss is a conga line of hachiemon people.
25	** The stage 22 boss is a hydra that divides themselves into serpents with spiky tails.
26	* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Stages 5 and 6 are ice-themed.
27	* VideoGameFlight: The powerup in stages 16 and 17 allows Hachiemon to fly.
28	* VocalDissonance: Hachiemon is a cute clumsy guy who sounds like a baritone.
