Corners
Test of Strength! "Takeshi's Castle"
In this challenge corner, Arino plays "Assault! Showdown at Takeshi's Castle" (Bandai, Family Trainer, 1987), a game inspired by the 1986-1990 Tokyo Broadcasting series Takeshi's Castle and which required the Family Trainer accessory (known in North America as the Power Pad) to play (marking the first GCCX challenge using the device).
Popular Corner "Moshi Dai"
In "Arino's Great Moshimoshi Strategy," Arino plays the Famicom game "Gansou Saiyuki Super Monkey Daibouken" (VAP, 1986). When Arino comes across a sequence or problem that he cannot conquer on his own, he calls viewers at home in response to postcards they have sent. This time, Arino asks about a problem that he had in the corner's first appearance-that battle screens randomly appear and disappear ("How can he win the battles?").
However, even after he wins a battle, he finds that he did not get anything (i.e. a bonus item or an EXP gauge increase). But that's a problem for next time...
Odawara's cheap sweet shop and game center
In this "Tama-Ge" corner, Arino visits Natsukashi Yokochou (Nostalgia Lane), a candy shop in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. This store, modeled after candy shops of the Showa era, has an area dedicated to 20 10-yen medal game machines from over 20 years before the episode's production.
