🍣🍔🍦 8/10 – A deliciously weird time capsule that proves not all licensed games were garbage. Some were just… gorgeously bizarre. Did you play Chow Down back in the day? Who was your main—Ami or Yumi? Drop a comment below and let’s get nostalgic!

Yes, you read that right. It’s a .

If you were a kid in the mid-2000s, you remember the vibe . The splatter-paint aesthetics. The indie-rock-meets-J-pop theme song. And two cool, cartoon rockstars who traveled the world fighting ninjas, robots, and… hunger pangs?

Welcome to for the Game Boy Advance. If you missed this gem back in 2005, you missed one of the weirdest, most colorful, and surprisingly addictive racing games on the handheld. What Is This Beautiful Chaos? Forget Mario Kart . Chow Down takes the two titular heroes—the energetic, punk-rock Ami and the cool, laid-back Yumi—and drops them into a bizarre game show. The goal? Race to eat the most food across wacky international stages.

So dust off your GBA, find a ROM (respectfully, if you own the cartridge), or just search YouTube for a longplay. Watch Ami scarf down 50 pieces of sushi while Yumi slides under a sumo wrestler. Laugh at the ridiculous food meter. Hum the theme song for the rest of the day.
