Another set of areas transpires in a starry mine where it's all dark except for the dim sphere which stays on you throughout, which brings a big sense of atmosphere and wonder. The first set of areas take place in a fantastical environment with scenery pleasing to the eyes adorned with floating platforms which have got streaming waterfalls emanating from them one part takes place during the day while the other takes place at sunset. There's only line scrolling in each area, no real parallax scrolling, but even so there is a good amount of depth and atmosphere. The pastel-toned visuals are colorful and fun to look at.
You only have a health of three (which can be replenished), and any time you lose a life then you have to choose a fighter jet anew. Occasionally the fighter jets can also swim underwater and zip through wires. There is also a massive punch effect that when made contact with the enemy then they will fly far in the distance, but I personally have no idea what the proper controls are that are used to implement it, so if I feel like doing that then I just dabble with the directions and the Y button until it's done. For TwinBee it's the hammer, for WinBee it's the streamer which is used for a whip, and for GwinBee it's an unlimited array of rattles which have got a long range. Without the gold bell power-up if you simply press the Y button then the fighter jets will do a weak punch (which humorously is able to squish enemies) but with the gold bell power-up you get a main secondary weapon. The silver bell gives you spiked boots, the blue bell gives you the blaster gun (as a nod to Detana!! TwinBee) which you use with the A button, the green bell gives you a chibi which will follow you around and do damage to enemies if they touch them (you can only get three), the purple bell gives you a shield which will protect you from losing any hearts but will be gone if you get hit, the pink bell will render you invincible for a short period of time, and golden bell will give the fighter jets their respective special weapon.īeing hit without any defensive shield will cause you to lose your power-ups (much like Sonic would lose his rings once he's hit), so you only have a brief moment to recoup any power-up bell you can before they fall offscreen. After jumping on enemies they will leave behind a bell power-up of a different color, which is the staple of the TwinBee cute'em up series. After jumping it is possible to glide yourself down slowly by holding the up button while in midair.
If you're in a situation when you don't want to fly off but your gauge is full then let go of the B button while not pressing any of the directions. Learning the proper time to let go of the jump button when the Jump gauge is fully charged is essential in order to not get hurt, since it is easy to accidentally fly off if you're not careful.
