Magical Drop (AKA MagiDro), is a series of puzzle games originally released in the arcade, and later primarily released for several platforms such as the Neo Geo, Super Famicom, Sega Saturn and Neo Geo Pocket Color developed by Data East. The games are notable for being extremely fast-paced.


Magical Drop is played in a style and gameplay similar to Compile's (now Sega's) Puyo Puyo and Taito's Puzzle Bobble franchises; a "stack" of random colored bubbles descend from the top, and a player is defeated when a bubble hits the bottom. Bubbles can be picked up and dropped by the player's "clown" at the bottom, and are destroyed when three or more of the same color are put together on a single column. "Chains" are formed either when a single drop caused a chain reaction, or when more than one group of bubbles is destroyed in quick succession. The game is normally played with two players (one may be a computer opponent), and chains cause the opponent's stack to descend faster.

There are 24 characters, all but the Black Pierrot being named after a tarot card (with the Strength card covering two characters). Different characters have different attack patterns. The columns of the opponent's stack will descend at different rates relative to each other depending on the character chosen. This causes a disjunction of colors that may make it more difficult for the other player to clear their stack. For example, with the character Devil, all the columns will descend at the same rate, whereas with Sun, the middle columns will descend faster than the others.

Magical Drop is an action puzzle game that has players controlling a small clown in an attempt to pop falling balloons. As the tournament begins, a player can choose one of 12 characters, each with different traits. Balloons will burst after coming into contact with similar balloons, sometimes causing chain reactions. With skill and a little luck, players can use special balloons like ice, bubble, arrow, rainbow, and wipeout balloons.

Mcdonaldland is an Action game, developed by Visual Concepts and published by Ocean, which was released in Europe in 1992.

Colorful run-and-jump staring the spokesperson for the McDonalds fast-food joints, Ronald McDonald. He is wandering aimlessly through the woods one day (as usual), when he finds a piece of a treasure map. Excited at his discovery, he decides to find the rest of the map and thereby find the treasure. This was originally produced at the time as a special nationwide promotion for the Japanese franchises.

I usually think of Yu Yu Hakusho or Gunstar Heroes whenever I see the Treasure logo gracing a game. It's discomforting to know that they made some losers along with their many winners. Don't get me wrong - it looks and sounds great, and plays pretty decently, but the whole concept sucks. I'll pass, thank you.
