This pair of bickering, cheap-looking, literally shovelware, as in they fight with shovels, mascots are meant to represent mobile gaming in the setting. Unsurprinsingly, they are portrayed as a couple of cackling, moustache twirling evildoers whose nefarious plot consist in making all the inhabitants of Gamindustri addicted to social games , transforming them into sleep-deprived, red-eyed zombies that do nothing but stare at the screens of their cellphones, waiting for the stamina bar to fill in.

Naturally, the goddesses go and kicks their asses. Then they are dumped into some inhabitated island south to the main region thus demostrating that mobile gaming and tradicional gaming can coexist as long as they are kept separated and without any overlap.

All in all, this is the kind of sidequest one would except of this series, where everything is always presented with the subtlety of a brick to the face.

This does remind me to get back into those games, always fun seeing their takes on the different consoles. Fun jab at mobile gaming.

And now I just notice the thongs...

What's the meaning behind the names? Is Bamo like Bamco?
