''イデアの日'' (''Idea no Hi''. Officially but incorrectly translated ''Day of the Idea'', more accurately ''The Edea Incident'') is a ''very'' non-standard jRPG released on the [[Super Famicom]] in 1994. Created by the team behind [[Maka Maka]] (but this time around is ''not'' [[Obvious Beta|a prototype cartridge turned gold by the publisher without the team's knowledge]]) with character designs by Koji Aihara (Known in the west largely for ''[[Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga]]''). The main character, a [[Hello, Insert Name Here|young boy]] with [[Psychic Powers]] is kidnapped by some shady people and tortured to show off his powers. Things [[Gone Horribly Right|go horribly right]] when they kill his dog to provoke him into using his full powers, causing him to destroy the test chamber, killing the scientists behind it while the "Dr. Poe" in charge flees. One of the dying scientists mentions a "Lady Edea" and a search of the now abandoned facility reveals a fax on the torture testing to a research facility on Easter Island.

A mostly forgotten game in its home country, though is decently popular among Super Famicom enthusiasts due to how unique it is and the very low price of used copies.

* [[Power-Up Food]]: Kaminariiwa, a Sumo wrestler character, can't equip clothes. Instead he has very high growth rates and at fixed points in the game can obtain special dishes that help him bulk up.

* [[Secret Character]]: Tom-Tom, a weird non-human entity with a bunch of free and useful special attacks.

* [[Secret Path]]: Rinko's special overworld ability is to alert the player of these, prompting a dialog box when one is adjacent to you [[Stop Helping Me!|even if you just got out of it]].

* [[Stuck Items]]: For obvious reasons, underwear and (for female characters) the bottom torso layer can be replaced, but not removed without a cheating device (there's nothing there anyways).

* [[Team Shot]]: The cover. While most of the party members are introduced under the player's control, the doctor on the cover isn't. Thankfully you never see said character's face that well till you get control of him and look as his equipment screen so you won't realize it's {{spoiler|Dr. Poe}}.
