About the Game
TANUKI Pon’s Summer follows Pon, a well-meaning but somewhat lazy Tanuki who works part-time at the Post Office. With the Great Tanuki Festival only a month away, Pon must restore the damaged shrine before summer ends.
Players can deliver packages, build friendships with the island’s residents, and earn money and rewards to help bring the shrine back to its former glory.

Gameplay Experience
Hop onto Pon’s BMX and deliver letters and packages across the island. Different packages have different sizes, weights, and shapes, so players need to think about how to handle each delivery.
Outside of deliveries, Pon can take part in activities such as sushi making, sumo wrestling, and baseball. The BMX also lets players explore the island, perform tricks, grind on rails, and discover new paths.
Key Features
- Deliver packages around a fictional Japanese island.
- Explore the island using Pon’s BMX.
- Take part in different sports and activities.
- Build friendships with local residents to unlock rewards.
- Restore, upgrade, and decorate the Tanuki Shrine.
- Complete more than 100 BMX challenges.
Explore, Ride and Restore
The island provides plenty of opportunities to explore on two wheels. BMX ramps, rails, tricks, and combos give Pon different ways to move around and discover new areas. Money and items earned from deliveries, activities, and BMX challenges can then be used to improve the shrine before the summer festival.
