Sorry I had to use a different microphone; my headset went tits up. POS.. anyway, this is one of Konami's more frustrating and difficult games, up there with JAIL BREAK and IRON HORSE. You control a juvenile delinquent in school trying to collect enough hearts to be allowed to exit the stage. Different scenarios involve a classroom, school hallway (your segue between the rooms), a locker room, a restaurant (probably more like a school cafeteria), a dance class, and the garden near the school grounds exit. You are armed with a headbutt (which is difficult to learn the timing to), and you can collect some projectiles on other levels. In the classroom, you must bump students off their chairs by double-pressing towards them, then press down to sit in their chair and collect whatever heart they were sitting on (I don't think I''d want it that badly anymore!). When you aren't seated the teacher (who constantly hounds you throughout the game) will start pursuing you, until you sit down again. Collect all the hearts and you'll spell out a message and you can ext the room through the correct door. This takes you to the hallway where you can collect a gift for points or open other doors (which usually have a foot kick you and stun you), or you can go right to the door of the next area. The hardest room of all is next-- the Locker Room, where THREE guys, a chef (what's he doing in a locker room?), the annoying teacher (who gets faster than you, even if he has to catch his breath on occasion), and a bully, all pursue you at once. Headbutting all of them in one swoop is pretty much impossible, as they'll easily overrun you. You have to headbutt heart containers here, and you must do it 3 times for each. You have some basketballs in bins you can chuck at your pursuers but they're in limited quantity. Note that if you lose a life in any room you start ALL OVER again with the hearts! After leaving the room and entering the next room via the hallway, you are in the restaurant/cafeteria. This is no easy level either; you must avoid chefs and the teacher as you collect hearts on the floor, plus you must headbutt one heart container on the center table. Chuck food from pots at your pursuers but also watch for the one chef that also chucks food-- at you! The next room is a dance class-- women grooving to "Twist And Shout" can bump into you and stun you, while-- who else?-- the teacher is pursuing you. Collect all the hearts on the floor and escape. Your next area via the hallway is the garden at the edge of the school grounds. Avoid the football players, 3 of them, and collect all the hearts to complete one round of play as you and your girlfriend drive off. The levels then repeat in a different order. The extreme difficulty will put off a lot of players, and the headbutt is a chore to perform properly. Also known as MIKIE: HIGH SCHOOL GRAFFITI (there's no graffiti in the game!), and SHINYUUSHAIN TORU-KUN.
