Nippon Marathon

Nippon Marathon is for anyone who wants a loud, silly game for a night with friends, where nobody takes themselves too seriously. Everything runs on ragdoll physics, clumsy falls and the fact that almost anything can happen on the course. What to expect: - At first, your time goes to learning not to face-plant on the first corner, and then the fun kicks in: you hop over barrels, dodge bikes and wobble along planks above waterfalls. - Four people can share one couch, and anyone can jump in or out at any moment without the round falling apart. Solo works too, but with two or three players the laughter gets much louder. - The route crosses the whole country: busy city streets, narrow old alleys, noisy markets, temples on mountain peaks and the roof of a bullet train. Each stage feels different. - The story mode takes you from rookie to marathon master and introduces quirky characters, including a lobster man and a narwhal enthusiast. After payment you get a Nippon Marathon activation key for Steam in the Global region. The key shows up right on the order page on the site, and you just enter it in the Steam client to add the game to your library. San! Ni! Ichi! Hajime!!! Stretch your muscles and embark upon the ultimate marathon of Japan in a raucous ragdoll party multiplayer racer where anything can happen. Hurdle barrels, outrun Shiba Inu and dive out of the paths of bicycles - all while chucking fruit at your opponents and dashing across planks precariously balanced over waterfalls - in an unreal experience that must be played to be believed. Features Four-player drop-in/drop-out madness! Solo play is supported, but grab up to four pads and enjoy the supreme silliness of gaming’s greatest marathon. Need a bathroom break to brush pineapple juice off your onesie? Random pedestrian passing by your couch and wants to play? Whatever the cause, hop in and out for the ultimate party get-together! Experience surprises galore in a race across all of Japan! Cross the land of Nippon in a series of creative levels spanning busy city streets, narrow old streets, bustling markets, mountaintop shrines and even the top of a bullet train! You never know what will happen next in Nippon Marathon. Perhaps you’ll find time for an impromptu spot of slot machine fun? Maybe a news anchor will jetpack in to interview you on the racetrack? Heck, anything is possible… An expansive story mode with a bizarre cast of characters! Climb the ranks from rookie runner to marathon master. Experience the stories of lobster-man J DARWIN, narwhal enthusiast Elizabeth Nishibori, old uncle sailor Zenbei “XEN BAE” and wannabe dating-agency owner Snuguru Maestro, all while revealing the shady secrets of the unseen forces at play behind the Nippon Marathon. Can you beat the returning ten-time champion Handsome Hazuki and his cronies? Chill out with some Party Games! Some people like bird watching. Some people like a lazy Sunday afternoon drive. Some people like to throw themselves into a trolley, and smash head-first into man-sized bowling pins! Set your shopping trolley's position, take a running jump, wince as you hurtle towards random hazards and pray you don't end up in the emergency room. Mastered the Turkey in bowling? Then take on the L.O.B.S.T.E.R gauntlet! A precariously narrow, randomly generated assault course. Swinging hammers, pneumatic boxing gloves, and irate American footballers conspire to knock you into the drink!
