Game Overview

Sanrio Cup PonPon Volley is one of those weirdly charming NES games where Hello Kitty and friends suddenly become volleyball pros. The controls are simple—just jump and hit—but matches get surprisingly intense when you're scrambling to return a spike from Badtz-Maru. The court is tiny, so every volley feels frantic, and the little victory dances after each point are ridiculously cute.

It's not exactly a deep sports sim, but that's not the point. The fun comes from the absurdity of My Melody diving for a save or Keroppi pulling off a dramatic spike. Two-player mode is where it really shines—nothing like trash-talking your friend while Tuxedo Sam waddles around the court. The whole thing has this cheerful, slightly janky energy that makes it hard to put down once you start.

If you dig retro games with personality, this one’s a quirky little time capsule.
