[What is a toy confectionery “Hone Hone Zaurus”]

“Hone Hone Saurus” is a unique dinosaur-themed candy toy brand released by Kabaya Foods. It has a history of over 20 years since 2002, and is a long-selling candy toy with cumulative sales exceeding 40 million units.

The unique feature of “Bone Bonesaurus” is that all parts can be assembled with common joints. By collecting various parts, you can enjoy freely rearranging them and creating your own original dinosaur models.

This Nintendo Switch title, “Hone Hone Zaurus X Super Combination! Build & Battle,” also makes the most of the original’s features, allowing players to freely assemble and rearrange parts they obtain during the game to create characters, and then enjoy action battles with those characters.

■Game Overview

“Create your own original Bone-Bone Dinosaurus and enjoy action battles!”

In this game, you can enjoy two types of play: “Build,” in which you can fully enjoy assembling and rearranging the candy toy “Bone Bone Dinosaurus,” which is the greatest attraction of the toy candy, and “Battle,” in which you can control the original Bone Bone Dinosaurus you have created through the build and enjoy action battles.

◆“Build” allows you to enjoy free assembly

In “Build,” players can assemble and rearrange various parts just like with the actual candy toy to create as many of the strong and cool Bone-Bone Dinosaurs as they imagine.

There are over 600 different parts required for assembly. There are many variations for each body part, such as the head, torso, hands, and feet, and you can obtain and use them one after another as you progress through the game.

The Bone-Bone Dinosaurus that can be assembled in this game can be divided into four types based on differences in the bone structure: bipedal, quadrupedal, humanoid, and flying. Furthermore, without being bound by rules such as “hands should be in hand positions” and “feet should be in foot positions,” players can use their ingenuity to create original Bone-Bone Dinosaurus, for example by attaching tail-shaped parts to the head or arm parts to wing positions.

“Battle” where you fight enemies with your prized Bone-Bone Dinosaurus.

In “Battle,” players can enjoy an action battle game using their own original Bone-Hone Dinosaurus.

◆Collect new parts and base kits as you conquer stages!

In “Battle,” you can test the strength of the Bone-Bone Dinosaurus you’ve created by battling various enemies that await you in each stage, and you can also collect parts, base kits (blueprints), and other items that are dropped by defeated enemies.

There are five stages that can be captured by 101 stages in the wilderness, dense forest, glacier, and the end of the ground.

◆Easy operation with no complicated action techniques required!

In addition to the main Bone-Hone-Zaurus created by the player, three companions can be deployed on the battlefield, for a total of four characters. The player controls the movement of the main Bone-Hone-Zaurus they control, attacks against enemies, and the use of items, while the other three characters are controlled by AI depending on the situation. Players can also switch the characters they control depending on the scene and situation.

Use a variety of attacks to defeat enemies and conquer stages!

You can set up to four attack techniques for the assembled Bone-Bone Dinosaurus. The variety of techniques you can use will vary depending on the parts you assemble. Furthermore, if you obtain a “Special Attack Ball” during battle, you can unleash a powerful special move at the right moment.

◆Fulfill the clear conditions set for each stage and aim to conquer the stage!

Each battle stage has various conditions to clear, such as “defeat the boss within the time limit” or “defeat 10 enemies.” If you do not meet these conditions, you will not be able to conquer the stage.

In the early stages of the game, it will be difficult to fulfill all of the conditions, but by trying to clear stages multiple times, you will be able to obtain powerful parts and kits that allow you to create stronger Bone-Bone Dinosaurus, enabling you to conquer more difficult stages.

In this way, by switching between “Build,” where you can enjoy assembling and rearranging the parts, and “Battle,” where you use your own Bone Bone Dinosaurus to conquer battle stages and collect parts, you can enjoy building the strongest, coolest Bone Bone Dinosaurus of your dreams.
