Nasuinu-kun is preparing for a dance party.
Haripoteto-chan decides to go to the dance party, and the three of them head to the dance party.
However, Jagainu-kun had never danced before, but decides to go, thinking he can learn to dance while he's there.
In the game, the opponent (or dance partner) demonstrates a set of moves that must be copied by the player, Jagainu-kun.
You are judged on how well you copied the opponent's dance moves, indicated by a weather mark.
The sunnier the weather, the better your performance is.
The goal of each stage is to beat each one with sunny weather.
Beating each stage with sunny weather not only unlocks more songs, but also more friends, who are added to your "Friend Files" (トモダチファイル). "Friend Files" will give a brief description of each character unlocked.
They can also be unlocked by different means, such as using the Communication Exchange mode.
Here are the main modes of play: Story Mode (ストーリーモード): Jagainu-kun (controlled by the player) must compete in several dances against several characters.
Clearing this mode 100% will unlock a new mode; Communication Battle, in which the player can compete with a human opponent (see below).
Picture Book (えほん): The cutscenes in the Story Mode are changed into a picture book that the player can view.
There are four of them that can be unlocked by clearing all stages in the Story Mode, including the hidden stages.
However, they differ depending on how the player plays through the Story Mode.
Communication Exchange (つうしんこうかん): This mode allows you to 'trade' characters with another human player via the link cable.
However, the player will still get to keep the character(s) that they trade away.
Communication Battle (つうしんたいせん): This mode allows you to compete in a dance with another h
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Jagainu-kun for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Jagainu-kun to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2000.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
