Shapeshifting Kindergarten

Post by caejones » Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:57 pm

As I understand, more about the Shapeshifting school (where Puar and Oolong learned their abilities) is involved in one or more of the games...
Could anyone tell which games, and perhaps what they include?
Thanks!

There's a section in the Bouken Special about Oolong and Puar's days at the school, showing the teachers Pongitsune and Pondanuki. The teachers' names come from combining kitsune (fox) and tanuki (raccoon dog), two animals attributed with the power of shape-shifting in Japanese mythology, together with "pon", the sound effect of said shape-shifting. Both of them are humanoid versions of their animal namesakes. Pongitsune is the female teacher whose panties Oolong steals, causing his expulsion. Her and Pondanuki appear in the game Daimaou Fukkatsu for the NES.
