It took me a while to find this game - the box/cover is entirely in Japanese so thanks to the Wikipedia page that lists all Japanese DS games, the publisher (Bandai Namco) and the copyright year (2010), and Google image search - I was able to track it down!

For my own reference, it's this game:
https://www.video-games-museum.com/en/game/Do-Konjou-Shougakussei-Bon-Bita-Hadaka-no-Choujou-Ketsusen-Bita-vs-Dokuro-Dei/81/5/41776

(the link shouldn't work, but you can cut-paste into a browser).

It's kind of fun to play a crazy, funny game and not understand ANY of the context! (is this based on some manga/anime show? probably - but I have no idea) The game is a clever and fun platformer that I wish I could play more - I completed maybe 4 levels? There's lots of text (which I think are perhaps tutorials?) and through a little bit of trial and error I made progress..

The game has a cast of characters but, from what I played, the protagonist is a "little kid" (may not be a kid) who is greedy/poor(?) and you spend the game chasing after one yen coins (one yen is like one cent) - but he can sometimes transform into another(same?) character who looks like a black character (afro) and does crazy things like cry alot (creating water that powers little windmills). The art direction is super fun, crisp and bright.

Oh, there's also birds that poop pink turds - with a word on top (smelly?). Oh, the end of the levels are also a word (no idea what) that you smash into to clear the level.

There's all kinds of zaniness that I kind of want to what the show (assuming it exists) because what the hell is this all about?
