Hasbro Bop it Smash

Product Information

Based on concepts originally patented by Dan Klitsner, [3] [4] Bop It was licensed to Hasbro [5] [6] and further developed there by a number of designers including Bob Welch. [3] With newer versions, additional inputs have been added or altered such that units like the 2010 Bop-It! Bounce shares no inputs in common with the original 1996 Bop It. Philip Orbanes (2004).

This game is substantially similar to "Vox Bop (with voice commands)", except the "Pass It!" command is never issued. Instead, when the player misses a command, the game ends and the score is reported. [5] [21] [43] This mode is also known as "Vox Bop Solo" in Bop It Extreme [16] [17] and Bop It Extreme 2, [19] and simply "Solo" in "Bop It!" [25] and Bop It XT!. [30] Beat Bop Solo The audio instructions and narrative are enticing, slightly cajoling, often humorous, and a tad, shall we say, sarcastic, but in an inviting, almost lovable way. The game select feature even includes a volume control (either loud or not-so-loud). Ah, so wise these designers. There are three AA batteries required, all of which, bless Hasbro, are included.

Since 2008, the voice of Bop It has been Buddy Rubino. Rubino has voiced all the modern Bop It games which include: Bop It!, Bop It! XT, Bop It! Smash, Bop It! Tetris, Bop It! Micro (original recordings from Bop It!), Bop It! New Moves and Bop It! Maker. Rubino was unaware of Bop It when recording the voice, and was advised to do it "really excited". [10] Bop It has sold over 30 million units worldwide. [11] Original series (1996–2006) Bop It Mini versions of several Bop It models have also been released throughout the duration of the series to be used as keychain carabiners and pens. Mini versions have been released for Bop It 1996 and 2002, [46] Bop It Extreme, Bop It Extreme 2, Bop It!, and Bop It! XT.
