Sanrio Characters Info, made by hani-cherry, features the cute characters that the world has come to know and love. From Hello Kitty to Chococat, Cinnamoroll to Badtz Maru, you'll be able to see a slideshow of your favorites here. Pictures are not the only things you'll be able to see on this video. Their birthdays and hobbies also appear along with their images, so viewers will be able to know more about their favorite characters (other than that they're cute.:P)

Focus on: Badtz Maru Runner

Looks like Badtz-Maru is in trouble again, and this time with his pet crocodile, Pochi!

Keep the little guy from taking a bite out of our mischievous penguin by giving the exact same number that floating above him. Use the left or right arrow keys to find the right digit and then the down button to knock out Pochi.

Be careful, though, because the little crocodile brought a lot of reinforcements: a whole army of Pochis! Hana Maru also appears from time to time (everytime the eliminated numbers come up with a sum that's divisible by 10, to be exact). His appearance would be helping XO, though: if the number he's holding is matched, all the other Pochis on the screen will also be knocked off too.

There are 16 Pochis per level, the succession of appearances becoming increasingly faster as the game progresses. Getting Pochi will give you 10 marks, while Hana Maru makes you gain the same, plus 50 bonus points.

Play this game and find many other fun ones at SanrioTown.

Focus on: XO Cave Adventure

XO Cave Adventure is the latest in the arsenal of games that can be played in SanrioTown.

Being the adventurous little penguin that Badtz Maru is, he goes on an Antarctic cave exploration trip, and it's up to you to guide him through it!

Aside from the cave's stalactites and stalagmites, some creepy-crawly creatures are also in the way to keep XO from having a smooth flight. Not to worry though, XO has his weapon of choice: his handy flashlight! Left-click to turn it on and make the cave dwellers disappear.

Badtz Maru can have a maximum of three flashlights, and can replenish his supply by collecting the ones on his way. Aside from these, he can also collect hearts (a maximum of five), which indicates the number of times he can be hit. There are also stars that boost a player's score by 100 points for each one collected.

The game is action/adventure, something that people of all ages would just love to play. Guiding a flying Badtz Maru who wears a red cape is a special bonus as well.:D

Blog of the Week!

The penguin who wants to be the boss of everything is again on the spotlight with this week's blog feature.

"Sunny Side Up" is a blog owned and maintained by iheartbadtz (notice how her name's a dead giveaway of her favorite character?:p). Aside from her animated banner featuring our favorite mischievous penguin, her entries are also filled with images of Badtz-Maru that would make XO fans want to visit the blog.

Aside from the Badtz-Maru features, she also uploads her own short stories and some online quizzes that are really quite fun to answer.

You can view the blog by clicking its title or the image above.
