Kufū, Hana No Sei, Koseibutsugakusha and Hōfu (工夫, 花の精, 古生物学者 & 農夫)
This labourer, flower spirit, paleontologist and peasant are the protagonists of this game; they each start out in the four corners of the island, and conquers a square once they've cleared its stage. They must then decide which square they want to move to next, by pressing one of the Answer Buttons - and some of the squares have Japanese text on them indicating what type of stage they are: E no mondai (絵の問題) indicates a stage with picture questions, 2/3-Taku (2/3択) means a stage with questions which only have two (or three) possible answers, Janru serekuto (ジャンルセレクト) means a stage where you may select one of four different genres for questions, "TIME X2" means a stage where your remaining time bonus for a correct answer will be doubled, and Noruma -1 (ノルマ -1) means a stage where the required number of correct answers will be reduced by one. If one character should move onto another one's conquered square, it invokes a special type of stage in which the conquered square's owner will set the trespasser eight questions (with a keyword that is common for all eight answers); if the trespasser answers all eight questions correctly, they shall take possession of that square, but if they should answer even one of those eight questions incorrectly, the owner shall send the trespasser back to their last conquered square.

Apes (猿)
From top to bottom: Gorilla (ゴリラ), Hihi (ヒヒ), and Saru (サル); like many other opponents, the Hihi and Saru are merely palette-swaps of the Gorillas.

Anteaters (蟻食い)
From top to bottom: Arikui (アリクイ), Baku (バク), and Koarikui (コアリクイ); the Koarikui are also supposed to represent a smaller version of the Arikui.

Elephants (象)
From top to bottom: Africa Zou (アフリカゾウ), Indo Zou (インドゾウ), and Naumann Zou (ナウマンゾウ); due to their sizing, all you can see is their eyes.

Horses (馬)
From top to bottom: Uma (ウマ), Roba (ロバ), and Shimauma (シマウマ); the Roba and Shimauma (zebras) also appear to be smoking upon cigarettes.

Bears (熊)
From top to bottom: Kuma (クマ), Panda (パンダ), and Shirokuma (シロクマ); all three also appear to look very bored, but they can still jump out at you.

Octopuses (蛸)
From top to bottom: Kurage (クラゲ), Tako (タコ), and Ika (イカ); due to that fact that they are submerged under water, all you can see is their tentacles.

Birds (鳥)
From top to bottom: Flamingo (フラミンゴ), Dachou (ダチョウ), and Tsuru (ツル); the Flamingoes also appear to be more red (than pink) on their bodies.

Seals (海驢)
From top to bottom: Azarashi (アザラシ), Ashika (アシカ), and Ottosei (オットセイ); all three kinds also seem to be unusually coloured for what they are.

Cats (猫)
From top to bottom: Yamaneko (ヤマネコ), Hyou (ヒョウ), and Lion (Mesu) (ライオン（雌）); mesu means "female", so the Lions are actually lionesses.
