Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Game
Strawberry Shortcake The Sweet Dreams Game totally blew me away. The Game Factory has impressed me greatly with their high quality use of the Strawberry Shortcake license. Strawberry Shortcake goes on a quest to the dream factory to help her friends regain their dreams (they are not dreaming at night). There are four huge environments awaiting exploration. The game is usually a side-scroller done in a 3D environment. There are a couple of 3D levels, and other kinds of gameplay (flying, driving, etc.) to keep the game fresh. Video games for us women has been getting better.
Strawberry Shortcake: Sweet Dreams brings back the cute young girls with the strawberry smell! In this new adventure, the sinister Purple Pieman is stealing the dreams from everyone in Strawberryland. Strawberry gets her friends together for a trip into the Land Of Dreams, so she can put a stop to it. Join Strawberry, Raspberry Torte, Angel Cake, Ginger Snap and Sleepbug as they fight thier fears and use their abilities to succeed as a team. Flying, driving and adventure scenarios challenge the characters to work together. There's even a special My Sweets mode detailing your accomplishments; use it to unlock special pictures.

But Not Too Black: Orange Blossom, the only nonwhite member of the cast before Cherry Jam (Japanese, based on her eye shape and her cherry blossom motif) joined, was whitewashed from her original depictions.

There was one doll made when Hasbro still had the toy rights that depicted her with poofy hair and darker skin.
