Released in 1994 for Super Famicom, ''Umihara Kawase'' features the eponymous girl and her fish hook trying to reach doors in increasingly difficult fields while avoiding fish walking around. Yes, fish walking around. It can be beaten in less than ten minutes, but there's dozens of different ways to reach the ending credits, and impossible to see all of the fields in one playthrough. Plus some doors take a lot of knowledge about the game physics to reach. |

A sequel, ''Umihara Kawase Shun'' (Shun meaning something being in season), was released for PlayStation three years later. It had fields that required [[Up to Eleven|even more intricate tricks with the hook]], a shorter and springier line and... commercials. Yes, there were actually commercials inbetween some fields, from a company producing [[Product Placement|fishing supplies]]. In 2000, ''[[Updated Rerelease|Umihara Kawase Shun Second Edition]]'' was released. It contained five new fields and some bugfixes, but most importantly, it replaced the commercials with artwork of Umihara. |

There is also a manga, but it does not seem to have very much to do with the game. |
