Ichidant-R GG

Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R GG is a puzzle game developed and released by Sega for the Game Gear on November 25, 1994. It is the sequel to Puzzle & Action: Tant-R and the second installment in the Puzzle & Action series, which began as an arcade title on Sega's System C-2 hardware . The game retains the structure of its predecessor, presenting the player with a series of fast-paced, timed minigames. However, the theme shifts from the crime motif of Tant-R to a medieval setting. The protagonists from the first game, Robo and Mobo from Bonanza Bros., return to play the roles of knights in a theatrical performance . The goal is to complete four rounds of minigames, with the selection rotating so the player must time their choice to tackle the desired challenge. Many of the minigames follow concepts similar to the first game, testing button-timing, memorization, or the ability to choose the correct option among many . The game includes a "Lucky!" round that grants bonus lives and a balloon-popping bonus stage at the end of each round .
