Bust-A-Move 4 - beat Puzzle Story mode on Normal, Vs. CPU Story mode on Normal. The Puzzle mode Story game is insanely long... 110 rounds, seriously? That's like what, 500 puzzles? Why would they not let you save your progress there, that took hours, and you do have infinite continues! Bah... it was fun, but too long. Vs. CPU story mode was the normal length thankfully. This game is fantastic, with pretty much everything from BAM3 plus a few more things, most notably the balancing ropes, and yet again an all-new cast (with the exception of Bub, Bob, and Drunk, of course). I don't know why BAM games usually create all new casts every game... oh well. Also the 4-player mode from N64 BAM3 (BAM'99) does not return, sadly. Apart from that, though, this game is fantastic, an outstanding BAM game for sure! I love that just like BAM3 the game has so many different modes, though the only "new" one is that way too long Puzzle Story mode; the rest of them return in slightly altered form from the previous game. They were good before though, so why not. The next BAM game after this, Super Bust-A-Move, is also pretty good, but does cut down on the number of modes (it ditches most of the BAM3 modes that this keeps), and still doesn't have four player (excepting the Japan-only Gamecube version of SBAM2, which does).
