Big Strike Bowling is a budget bowling game for the original PlayStation that released in 2003. In 2023, it was discovered that Konoko and Max Payne were unlockable characters in the game, in the same bobble-headed style as the main roster. As with the other characters, Konoko has unique animations, all of which are collected in this video.

There is no apparent connection between Big Strike Bowling and Oni except that they were both released by Take-Two. The developer, Coresoft, used their proprietary Jewel engine to produce their games; Coresoft appears to be defunct since 2010. The publisher was Take-Two Interactive's label Gotham Games, which only existed from 2002 to 2003.

The game plays well in the emulator DuckStation. In order to unlock Konoko quickly, you can use one of the two cheats that are automatically made available for the game under System > Cheats: the "maximum money" cheat or the "unlock all characters" cheat.
