Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to the previous games, although the games are in 3D. There are four rounds of a number of timed mini games, and two players are supported. Twenty-two categorised mini games are featured, and like the previous instalments, there is a 'Free Play' mode where they can be practised. The Saturn version features a RPG-style 'Original mode', which features a shop where items such as torches and brooms can be purchased.
Reception
The three reviewers at the Japanese Sega Saturn Magazine gave the game a good score.
