Shimeji: Screen Buddies

🐾 Shimeji: Screen Buddies – FAQ

❓ What happened to the mascot library?

We’ve temporarily reduced the mascot library to remove all third-party IPs and user-submitted characters. Right now, only our original Super Shimeji mascots are available. Don’t worry — we’re actively rebuilding the library with new, high-resolution original characters that are even better than before!
