Development and release Cool Cool Toon was developed and published by SNK. The composer, Yasumasa Yamada, considered it a fresh game to work on due to it being a game with music as a central premise. He based the soundtrack's tempo on music used by motion-captured music of the time. When making the music, he had to work with the programmers to approach it in the best way. He contributed four songs to the project, with most of the work being done by other members of staff. According to Yamada, the development of the game was very "business-oriented." The art design was led by Ippei Gyoubu.

It was originally teased on March 22, 2000, when SNK posted promotional artwork on their official website. A localized version was planned and aimed for an early 2001 release in North America, but was cancelled due to SNK's impending bankruptcy and the Dreamcast's declining popularity. An English fan translation was released in 2023.

Reception

The reception of the game has been mostly positive. Reviewers praised the art style and original use of the analogue stick.
