Takeshi no Chousenjou (Takeshi's Challenge) is a Japanese video game for the Nintendo Famicom (NES) by comedian turned film director 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano released in time for Christmas in 1986. The game is an experimental title attempting to break as many video game rules as possible.

The game is infamously known for giving the player several ludicrous, near-impossible tasks to complete. Some examples include forcing the player to sing karaoke numerous times in a row (utilizing the second Famicom controller, that has a built-in microphone) and leaving the game at a certain point for one hour without touching the controller.
Despite the controversial game design, the game is regularly listed by the Japanese public in the top 50 best Famicom games (perhaps as sarcasm). However, many others believe the entire game was a cruel joke on the gaming community by Takeshi Kitano.
The game was never released outside Japan.
