Amazing Island (aka Kaijuu no Shima: Amazing Island (カイジュウの島 ～アメージングアイランド～) in Japan) is a minigame collection with a well developed avatar creator. Your character is a Boy or Girl and their monster partner. By completing courses they gain Vision Orbs, which drives off the Black Evil, restores portions of the Island, and gain new abilities and items to customize their monster partner. The further in game, the more difficult the challenges are until the Black Evil itself is confronted. Upon purging the whole Island of Evil the villagers and the player hold a celebration.
