Toy Pop/Gameplay

Controls

 * Joystick: Use the 4-way joystick to direct Pino (or Acha if you're player 2) around each floor of Majyo's castle. (On bonus floors, they can only move horizontally; pushing the stick up or down on these floors will have no effect, apart from making Pino and Acha face out the cabinet's monitor at you).
 * Firing Button: Use this button to make Pino (or Acha if you're player 2), fire their currently-possessed weapons at the enemies. Each type of enemy will only die when fired on with a particular weapon. (On bonus floors, pressing this button will make them jump, instead of fire their current weapon).
 * 1 or 2 Player Buttons: Push these buttons to begin a 1 or 2 player game.

Pino and Acha
These two dolls are the protagonists of the game; Player 1 controls Pino (left), while Player 2 controls Acha (right). They are both on a mission to save their friends from the clutches of the witch Majyo - and in order to do this, they will be given 90 seconds (1:30 minutes), to shoot open the jars that are scattered around the castle's thirty-nine non-bonus floors and collect the hearts they contain so that the double-doors that the hearts will fly towards when collected will open fully, and allow them entry to the next floor. Along the way, they'll also have to shoot open the boxes that are scattered around these non-bonus floors and collect the weapons they contain to kill the enemies that are pursuing them around them; as mentioned above, each type of enemy will only die when fired upon with a particular weapon, which makes this game somewhat harder than Namco's earlier multi-directional shooters.

Heitai
These tin soldiers appear upon the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, a twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty-third, thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-ninth, forty-second and forty-third floors of the castle, and are worth 10 points when fired upon with a Pellet or any other weapon except for Bolts, which will only freeze them temporarily. They also reappeared in 16-bit form as enemies in Tinkle Pit.

Cars
These red automobiles appear upon: the first, second, third, fourth, seventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty-third, thirty-fourth, thirty-sixth, thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth, forty-first and forty-second floors of the castle, and are worth 20 points when fired upon with a Wheel. As with the Heitai, a Bolt will freeze them temporarily, when one happens to be fired upon them.

Tanks
These gray military vehicles appear upon the second, fifth, fifteenth, nineteenth, twenty-first, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh and forty-first floors of the castle, and are worth 30 points when fired upon with a Bomb. As with the Heitai and Cars, a Bolt will freeze them temporarily, when one happens to be fired upon them; however, it is surprising that the other enemy types are immune to Bombs.

Domdoms
These blue balloons appear upon the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth, eleventh, fourteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, a twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirty-first, thirty-third, thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth, forty-first and forty-third floors of the castle, and are worth 50 points when fired upon with a Pin. As with those Heitai, Cars, and Tanks, a Bolt will freeze them temporarily, when one happens to be fired upon them; however, they also possess the ability to pass over floor walls on account of what they are.
