Play TwinBee - Rainbow Bell Adventure (Japan) Online

TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventure came out for the Super Nintendo in 1994, developed and published by Konami. It was part of that wave of mid-90s platformers that tried to do something a little different, moving the series from its shoot 'em up roots into a side-scrolling adventure. The game has a bright, cheerful look that fits right in with the SNES library, but it doesn't get talked about as much as some of the bigger names from that time.

You control one of the TwinBee ships, which can jump and shoot, but the main action involves picking up bells scattered around each stage and throwing them at enemies. The levels are designed screen by screen, with some light exploration to find keys or uncover hidden items. The pace is generally relaxed, though some later stages can get tricky with enemy placement and platforming. It feels like a lighthearted, slightly oddball take on the action platformer, straightforward but with enough charm to keep you moving forward.
