You get unlimited continues, but you’ll still need to seek out the best ways to beat the boss characters by multiple playthroughs. The regular stages do get more difficult, and beating the game relies on accumulating Extra Lives and using your Magic Attacks at the right times. The control is perfect, and mastering the controls and ‘sphere attacks’ is easy. The music is awesome, and both Pop and Magic yell things out (in English!) like ‘POWAAHHUP!” when they grab certain items. The stages themselves look fantastic, with no single screen looking the same as the one before, both in terms of platform placements and the artistic backgrounds. The animated cutscenes, even without knowledge of the Japanese language, tell the story well enough, and look excellent. The length is a bit overlong, particularly in the absence of passwords or memory capacity saves (no progress saving exists, nor any level select passwords that I could find). The Southern Gentleman’s Opinion and Letter Grade: B+ Pop’n Magic is a really fun single-screen game.

A full playthrough of the game takes approximately an hour and a half.ĭestroying bosses yields an obscene amount of treasure and points. If you lose all of your lives in the boss fight, you can continue, but you’ll start a few stages back. Each world consists of approximately 10 stages, with the final stage being a boss fight. This was quite an impressive machine, with good graphic capacities (16-bit video processor, 512 colors, 64 sprites) and a fast and powerful 8-bit CPU. There are multiple worlds to play through, including Woods, Haunted House, Ocean, and more. After each and every one is destroyed, you’ll move on to the next stage. Your goal is to clear each screen/stage of all manner of the Evil Vampire’s minions. Gameplay: Pop’n Magic is a single screen action-platformer. The Evil Vampire stole three gems that kept order in the land, and now his minions are pillaging and destroying different areas, and it’s up to Pop and Magic to recover the gems and put a stop to the chaos he has unleashed. Story: From what I can ascertain from the cutscenes and the scant bit of information I could find about this game, the two title characters, Pop (girl) and Magic (boy), are tasked with saving their land from an Evil Vampire (the guy looks a lot like Dracula, so that’s the best comparison I can make I couldn’t find his name). The Evil Vampire has stolen three precious gems and brought chaos to the land!
