#Twinbee snes series
However, the series is finally starting to see the light of day in the United States: Konami first released the original game as Rainbow Bell as a part of their Konami Arcade Classics collection for the Nintendo DS and some of the games are starting to appear for purchase on download services for each console. Much to the United States' detriment, of course, as later games managed to make some great improvements to the basic setup (including a Life Meter and a plot). Unfortunately, that one is widely considered to be the weakest in the series, which resulted in none of the games getting exported for a long time. In its original format, only one of the games managed to be released in North America - Moero TwinBee: Cinamon Hakasei wo Sukue became Stinger upon translation. It's a much more light-hearted top-down entry into the genre, with the main ships being sentient beings with arms and legs and fighting enemies like watermelon slices and ladybugs. The Japanese version has multiple endings depending on the player's performance.TwinBee is a long-running Cute 'em Up series by Konami, makers of Gradius.The European version exclusively uses passwords for back-up, the Japanese one uses primarily a battery back-up but the passwords are also an option.Cinnamon and the pilots ( Light, Pastel and Mint) at the level select screen in the European version were removed. In the European version, the order is strictly linear and a specific level cannot be accessed if the previous ones have not been cleared. Some stages have alternate exits (similar to Super Mario World). The level order in the Japanese version is a set of levels arranged in a quadrilateral form with an interconnection between different stages.Paradise with a Runrun Feeling (Stage 19, 21, 22) Let's Go Through the Grasslands (Stage 2, 4) - Surrounds the character with a barrier.- Gives the character a temporary invincibility for a short period of time.- Gives the character an option-like drone that mimic the character's movements (for up to 3 drones).- Gives the character the laser beam weapon.- Increases the power of the character's jumping attacks.- Changes the character's punch attack to one of the three abilities Hammer ( TwinBee), Ribbon ( WinBee) and Rattle ( GwinBee).The game also features a versus mode, in which players must defeat their opponents for three rounds. Unlike other TwinBee games, the colored bells are obtained randomly by defeating enemies instead of shooting at the traditional floating clouds. The bell power-ups from the rest of the series also appears here and it allows any of the characters to obtain various kinds of power-ups depending of the color of the bell, such as the sets of weapons, the gun, speed, options and invincibility. All three can temporally fly in eight directions by propelling via a rocket pack that must be charged, as well as hover.Īside from their weapons, the major difference between the characters is the time they require to fully charge their punch wave or their rocket propeller: TwinBee has an average charging time WinBee charges her rocket propeller the fastest but takes the most to charge a punch wave GwinBee, on the other hand, fills charges his punch quickly but takes a while to charge his propeller. They have two sets of weapons, one of them is either a short or long-ranged weapon (a hammer for TwinBee, a ribbon for WinBee, and throwing rattles for GwinBee), and the other one is a gun, which is a reference to a cutscene from Detana!! TwinBee in which TwinBee is shown with two guns on each hand. GwinBee (piloted by Mint who is indifferently called "GwinBee" as well in this game)Īs opposed to the standard scrolling shoot-em-up gameplay featured in most TwinBee games, Rainbow Bell Adventures is a typical side-scrolling platformer, similar in concept to that of Rocket Knight Adventures, in which either TwinBee, WinBee or GwinBee must get to the end of a stage.Īll characters use their punch to attack, which can be charged to unleash a punch wave.WinBee (piloted by Pastel who is indifferently called "WinBee" as well in this game).TwinBee (piloted by Light who is indifferently called "TwinBee" as well in this game).
