The gameplay follows the genre’s rules that were established by Super Mario Bros. So you have to get them back and save Princess Melora once again. The premise is classic: seven magic bells keep balance in the universe, but the evil scientist Warumon steals them in order to conquer the world.
Thankfully, Rainbow Bell Adventures is much better than your average platformer. Of course, Mario & Sonic were the supreme kings among a glut of mediocre games. Just like Street Fighter clones, no matter how many were released each month, people kept buying them. One couldn’t go wrong with platform games back then. Someone at Konami must have thought that Shuzilow’s popular characters were wasted on shooters only, as Rainbow Bell Adventures is just the first of several incursions into other genres…and the best one at that.
TwinBee was a great candidate for such an experiment, given the anthropomorphic look of TwinBee and WinBee (they didn’t even have to add any legs!), and the extraordinary effort spent on the character design. Rainbow Bell Adventures takes an unexpected turn for the series, changing genres from shoot-em-up to side-scrolling platformer.
