Dancing Furby
As a furby you must dance! Woo-teh-loh-wah-boo! Shake it to the left, shake
it to the right.
A Furby is an owl-like monster with fluffy pink banana ears. They love to
dance, sing, and slowly learn human speech. Specifically a Furby is an
autonomous toy robot manufactured by Tiger Electronics, licensor of this game.
These toys were among the first successful domestic robots. Here they will be
dancing for you.
Dancing Furby operates as a classic rhythm game, with a line of button
prompts scrolling across the screen that you will have to press when they
reach the current time mark, supposedly matched with the music. A Furby on
screen will dance in accordance with your performance, commenting on your
timing in Furbish, “noo-loo” being perfect, “e-day” being acceptable, and
“boo” is shrilled for failure. At the end of each song you’ll have you score
calculated in “noo-loo”‘s etc. and then be allowed to continue.
Successfully clearing a stage will result in you being able to ‘connect’ the
Game Boy’s infrared port with the matching port on the forehead of a Furby
toy. This will impart information about the song to your furby teaching it to
warble Fur Elise when you least expect it.
You may also select a Furby to dance with in the game, be it spotted, striped,
or lozenge-faced. Good performance will unlock more Furbies.
Songs in the game include Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Fur Elise, and a few
‘popular’ numbers.
