Snorlax’s Lunch Time

The only new game. Dishes scroll past Snorlax: you have to press A to eat them, and the sooner you do, the more points you get. But sometimes a Pichu shows up: biting it sets off a Thunder Shock and ends the game. The five best scores are kept.

The controls

On the GameCube controller, the pad, A and B keep their roles, Z replaces the C button and Start replaces the Power button. L and R rotate the console. The Pokémon mini can be displayed in full or reduced to its screen.
