Animastar (アニマスター) is a Sega Dreamcast role-playing game developed and published by AKI. Released in Japan in June 2000, the game was originally planned to be compatible with its 2001 Nintendo Game Boy Color partner game Animastar GB. It would have used a special cable to link the two systems together, but the idea was scrapped.
