The memory chip has our Tokyo Mew Mew secret identities stored on it!! Not only that, the memory chips broke apart! If we don't collect the memory chips faster than Quiche, Aoyama-kun... no, our secret identities will be revealed to everyone!? I can't imagine such a thing! Complete the puzzles to get the memory chips back!"

Gameplay
