Dr. Slump was one of the first manga done by Akira Toriyama, widely known as the creator of Dragon Ball. The story revolved mainly around a robot named Arale, made by Dr. Slump (a professor) and her friends and their weird adventures. It was a gag manga with talking clocks and animals, time machines, toilet humor, and all-out cartoony zaniness. It was even made into a TV series in the early 1980s, which I still have fond memories of. In 1997, when Dragon Ball GT ended, a ''new'' Dr. Slump took it's time slot. This one was kind of like the old one and had the same characters as before but they were drawn differently. While not as good as the original, it was still nice to recreate the old-time favorite. This Playstation game here was based on this ''new'' Dr. Slump series.
