===Comical action game===
Games in the genre are most commonly called "comical action games" (CAGs) in Japan.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&id=2216&image=2 | title=Arcade Flyers: Cover Art | publisher=arcadeflyers.com | access-date=2007-01-18 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904030844/http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&id=2216&image=2 | archive-date=2015-09-04 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&id=3390&image=2 | title=Arcade Flyers Cover Art | publisher=arcadeflyers.com | access-date=2007-01-18 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904030844/http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&id=3390&image=2 | archive-date=2015-09-04 | url-status=live }}</ref> The original arcade ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' is generally recognized as the originator of this genre, though ''[[Bubble Bobble]]'' is also highly influential.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Scullion |first=Chris |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IE8IEAAAQBAJ&dq=Comical+action+game+Bubble+Bobble&pg=PA40 |title=The NES Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Nintendo Entertainment System |date=2019-03-30 |publisher=Pen and Sword |isbn=978-1-5267-3780-9 |pages=30 |language=en}}</ref> These games are characterized by single screen, non-scrolling levels and often contain cooperative two-player action. A level is cleared when all enemies on the screen have been defeated, and vanquished foes usually drop score bonuses in the form of fruit or other items. CAGs are almost exclusively developed in Japan and are either arcade games, or sequels to arcade games, though they are also a common genre among amateur [[dojin soft|''doujinshi'']] games. Other examples include ''[[Don Doko Don]]'', ''[[Snow Bros.]]'' and ''[[Nightmare in the Dark]]''.
