The European version exclusively uses passwords for back-up, the Japanese one uses primarily a battery back-up, but the passwords are also an option.Cinnamon and the pilots (Light, Pastel and Mint) at the level select screen in the European version were deleted. In the European version, the order is strictly linear and a specific level can't be accessed if the previous ones aren't cleared.
Some stages have alternate exits, similar to Super Mario World.
The bell power-up from the rest of the series also appears here, and it allows any of the characters to obtain various kinds of power-ups, depending on the color of the bell, such as the sets of weapons, the gun, speed, options and invincibility. All three can temporally fly in eight directions by propelling via a rocket pack that must be charged, as well as hover.Īside from their weapons, the major difference between the characters is the time they require to fully charge their punch wave or their rocket propeller: Twinbee has an average charging time Winbee charges her rocket propeller the fastest, but takes the most to charge a punch wave Gwinbee, on the other hand, fills charges his punch quickly, but takes a while to charge his propeller. They have two sets of weapons, one of them is either a short or long-ranged weapon (a hammer for Twinbee, a lasso for Winbee, and throwing rattles for Gwinbee), and the other one is a gun, which is a reference to Detana!! TwinBee 's cutscene, in which Twinbee is shown with two guns on each hand. All characters use their punch to attack, which can be charged to unleash a punch wave. Pop'n TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures is the first game in the Twinbee series to be an action title and features three playable characters: Twinbee, Winbee or Gwinbee.
