Being the introduction to the megaten series to the west and what better way than to show your mascot game in Nintendo's new "innovative" console.
The game is a top down shooter puzzle game where you go through 5 stages to go back to the monster world as either of the 3 jack bros the plot of the game goes. the 3 selectable characters Frost, Lantern, and Skeleton have different abilities to could go for a different playstyle. The plot of the game is very cute and charming for SMT standards and seemed to be aimed at kids as most of the demon names were simplified for a Western audience. That being said, the game plays like an arcade title in the way that the difficulty spikes up extremely high due to the game's obstacles and the game's health system. Instead of having hit points your timer is your health so depending on what you get hit by you lose HP making the final boss extremely hard due to not the boss itself, but the spikes that are borderline hard to dodge with the bullets the boss is shooting. Was overall a nice cute game until the end level being extremely hard
