GBA Card Captor Sakura

   Sakura Kinomoto's in class with the rest of the crew when a new exchange student is introduced to everyone. Once introductions are made, Sakura and friends go on a flick-screen story adventure that is broken up by a large number of mini-games.

   The first mini-game is one where Sakura must defeat a water elemental and repel streams of water that fall from the top of the screen with blasts of fire. There are four positions where Sakura may stand and she'll have to block 30 streams of water in order to proceed with the game. Once Sakurai beats the elemental, she'll do a little jumpy dance. Card that appears is called the Firey. The next mini-game is a rhythm action sort where three characters - Sakura, Tomoya and Cerberos stand on the bottom of the screen. Cues scroll across and the corresponding buttons (A or B) or the directions are pressed as the cues cross the center of a targeting marker. The cues roll down one at a time in the beginning but start flowing heavily once you're in the swing of things. Mess up thrice and the mini-game ends.

One unfortunate problem in the game is every scenario storyline is told over and over again if you fail at a mini-game, which is harsh punishment since you'll have to hammer at buttons to get another try at the mini-game.
