Choro Q Wonderful, which is the popular racing game series plus the adventure based on the tiny-deformed miniature car products Choro Q by Takara-Tomy, has some mysterious but seriously emotional episode despite the fairy and adorable atmospheres. In the video upon, “Blue Lake” stage definitely represented the lost civilization which used to be the affluent city in the field but was devastated by the tragic flood.
Blue Lake was formally called as Blue City where the rich inhabitants resided mainly. The residents used to awe aquatic guardian as god which can purvey the unlimited water resource and had the power like Midas who made people be so affluent. Thus, they were so rich and comfortable to live.
However, due to some of their greediness and disrespectful attitudes for Midas that led the god to unleash the wrath, the city was catastrophically inundated. The flood by god destroyed their properties and submerged the whole area. This tragic episode was so traumatic for us but very impressively impactful fairytale for players as both adults and children.
Blue Lake provides the mysteriously special exemption that the character hasn’t needed to refuel because of the inexplicable power by aquatic guardian. Therefore, although you ought to need the jet engine to move around the sunk area, you can use the fuel unlimitedly because of aforementioned advantage. Actually, you can vicariously dive and swim through the abandoned lake.
In the lake, there were many relics of former prosperous area. That scenery is so similar to the abandoned village in Japan generated by the process of water dam construction. For example, the deteriorated historical colosseum like Rome’s one was the symbol of lost Atlantis in the lake. That was so impressively beauteous but so pensive to see. Those pathetic and decadent sceneries unintentionally but emotionally affected us so much on the contrary of the peaceful and pop-designed fields and cars.
The uncanny “Black Bus”, whose name was the pun from the well-known fishing icon “Black Bass”, was only the survivor in the lake except the supportive tow truck which was mandatorily dispatched in each area to run the repairing shop as saving spot for the players. It also definitely represented the loneliness under the deep and dark-blue water.
This is the Choro Q Wonderful as fourth series. That’s so attractive, right?
