''Maka Maka'' is an obscure ([[No Export for You|at least in America]]) RPG for the Super Nintendo made by Office Koukan and published by Sigma Enterprises in 1992. It is also considered kuso-ge (shit game), and is hated by many Japanese gamers. It takes place [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|on Earth]] where [[Blatant Lies|Ultraman-syle aliens, giant, cannibalistic princesses, and evil, homosexual ant-men are completely normal]], and the main character is the reincarnated form of an alien prince who defeated an evil demon king millenia ago. Now, completely resurrected and full of power again, [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|said demon king wants revenge]]. It's a standard [[Western RPG|JRPG]] full of [[Widget Series|quirky Japanese humor]] that makes you wonder if [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|the designers were on anything]].
So, why is this game not very well liked? Basically, Office Koukan took so much time working on the game that it only got up to prototype phase by the time the release date was beginning to draw near. So, the publisher, Sigma, having no choice but to cancel the game if they didn't release it, did the only thing they could possibly do to avoid losing money: ''They copied, shipped, and sold the prototype of the game in bulk''. [[Obvious Beta|With the game in such a terrible, glitchy state]], it quickly became a part of many Japanese gamers' Bottom 100 games, and Sigma went out of business thanks to their [[What an Idiot!|boneheadedness]].

* [[Accidental Marriage]]: Near the beginning of the game after the airplane crashes in the Southern Country. Corum is rescued by the natives, and forced to marry Cynthia, the princess of the island, and eventual party member.
** {{spoiler|This comes back to haunt him when El finds out.}}
* [[Chef of Iron]]: Masa
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Johnny, the box-wearing explorer, could count for this.
Line 24:
* [[Faceless Goons]]: The aforementioned army of evil Homosexual Ant-Men, referred to in game as Zakos.
** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Ironically or maybe appropriately, Zako is the Japanese term for Mooks.]]
* [[Fartillery]]: {{spoiler|the only way to get out of Princess Gourmet's stomach. Also, it's her only real form of attack.}}
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Not as many as one would think...
** The most obvious one is in New Queen Town when Corum has to [[Duel Boss|fight Baseran alone]]. If the player loses to her [[That One Boss|(which is likely)]] Corum is thrown out of the castle (naked), and all the while the party will stand in front of the castle where the fight takes place, and not rejoin him, and blocking him from getting back into the castle to re-fight the boss.
Line 49:
*** But hey, it has a great song that plays when piloting it.
* [[Reincarnation]]: All of the main characters are reincarnations of great heroes from the past, and are able to transform into their past selves to perform special abilities (which serves as the game's magic system).
* [[Role
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The creator of the game, Office Koukan, actually made another RPG after this known as Idea No Hi, or Day Of The Idea. It's got an oddball sense of humor similar to Maka Maka's, but a more serious story, fairly interesting gameplay mechanics, and actual bug-testing to it's name.
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: To an extent, Corum's Silver Sword, which is the only way to damage the boss "Galjin" [[MacGuffin|but serves no purpose after that.]]
