Mahou Poi Poi Poitto!

Magical Plop


Genre: puzzle - blocks

Publisher: Takara

Year: 1994

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Match three, but with huge 2x2 blocks that can be rotated. Like so many of these games the problem is that the blocks are too big, there are too many colors, and rotating only goes one way so you have to cycle too quickly. I wish it was better but ultimately it's just another average puzzler.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Typical modes including a competitive 1P or 2P mode, an Endless mode, and something called Addiction which is essentially a puzzle mode. I had the most fun here. Has a very welcome difficulty setting and a number of continues.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Very cute. Like Magical Drop but with chibi characters. Lots of weird gimmicks like having a crowd watching you in some modes. Brimming with character.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Tons of animated characters. Saturated with bright cute artwork.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

I enjoyed some of the music but a few tracks were extremely grating, especially the menu music.


Overall Score: 58

Review ID: 1744
