In 1999, the Biobeast Force, led by Godkaiser Hell, swiftly and successfully destroys the Earth's current state of existence in a matter of months, driving the few survivors underground. One such survivor, Dr. Koji Kabuto, creates the Mazinger-Z, a suit of armor he wears to become capable of battling the Biobeasts to save what remains of Earth.
  
−
Controls are typical for a Sega beat-'em-up: {{A}} performs the special attack, {{B}} attacks (typically using Mazinger-Z's sword), and {{C}} jumps. The special attack is 3 seconds of swinging your sword around in a circle; performing the special attack costs life energy.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
The game blends a side-scrolling beat-'em-up with a one-on-one fighting game. Players control Koji Kabuto in the Mazinger-Z armor through six stages, each set in a different location on the ruined Earth. The first three segments of each stage follow the conventional beat-'em-up format, and the fourth segment is a boss fight that more closely resembles a one-on-one fighting game. The Mazinger-Z can change size; the boss characters are much larger than it in the beat-'em-up segments but comparable size in the fighting segments.
 +
 
 +
In the beat-'em-up segments, the Mazinger-Z can walk with {{left}} and {{right}} and can move forward and backward in the plane with {{up}} and {{down}}. It can dash with {{left}}{{left}} and {{right}}{{right}}. It jumps with {{C}} and attacks with {{B}}. Depending on the distance to the opponent, the attack can be a throw, a kick, or a sword slash. Pressing {{B}} multiple times in sequence performs a combo; pressing {{B}} repeatedly quickly performs the "wall of steel," a rapid series of sword thrusts. The Mazinger-Z can also attack after jumping and do a diving stab with {{down}}+{{B}} while in mid-air. It can do a wider cut by attacking after a dash or a spinning slash by attacking in the air while dashing. It also has a special attack executed with {{A}} that hits enemies around it at the cost of some health.
 +
 
 +
During the boss segment, gameplay changes to a fighting game format. In these fights, the Mazinger-Z moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. It guards with {{A}}, attacks with {{B}}, and jumps with {{C}}. Blocked special attacks still inflict a small amount of damage. Pressing a direction while attacking changes the attack. For example, holding away from the opponent while attacking performs a wide slash, and pressing {{up}} with attacking performs an upward slash.
 +
 
 +
The Mazinger-Z is defeated when it loses all of its health. If the player has extra lives remaining, it is revived. In the beat-'em-up sections, it is revived in place after a moment; in the fighting sections, the fight starts over. If the player runs out of lives, the game ends but can be continued from the beginning of the stage as long as the player has continues remaining. The player can choose the number of starting lives and continues as well as the difficulty level (Easy, Normal, or Hard) in the options. The player is awarded extra lives at 100,000, 300,000, and 700,000 points.

Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter, called MazinSaga (マジンサーガ) in Japan and Mazin Wars in Europe, is a beat-'em-up developed by Sega in 1993 for the Sega Mega Drive to tie into the MazinSaga manga series.

Story

Mazin Saga, Introduction.png

Mazinger-Z

In 1999, the Biobeast Force, led by Godkaiser Hell, swiftly and successfully destroys the Earth's current state of existence in a matter of months, driving the few survivors underground. One such survivor, Dr. Koji Kabuto, creates the Mazinger-Z, a suit of armor he wears to become capable of battling the Biobeasts to save what remains of Earth.

Gameplay

The game blends a side-scrolling beat-'em-up with a one-on-one fighting game. Players control Koji Kabuto in the Mazinger-Z armor through six stages, each set in a different location on the ruined Earth. The first three segments of each stage follow the conventional beat-'em-up format, and the fourth segment is a boss fight that more closely resembles a one-on-one fighting game. The Mazinger-Z can change size; the boss characters are much larger than it in the beat-'em-up segments but comparable size in the fighting segments.

In the beat-'em-up segments, the Mazinger-Z can walk with Left and Right and can move forward and backward in the plane with Up and Down. It can dash with LeftLeft and RightRight. It jumps with C and attacks with B. Depending on the distance to the opponent, the attack can be a throw, a kick, or a sword slash. Pressing B multiple times in sequence performs a combo; pressing B repeatedly quickly performs the "wall of steel," a rapid series of sword thrusts. The Mazinger-Z can also attack after jumping and do a diving stab with Down+B while in mid-air. It can do a wider cut by attacking after a dash or a spinning slash by attacking in the air while dashing. It also has a special attack executed with A that hits enemies around it at the cost of some health.

During the boss segment, gameplay changes to a fighting game format. In these fights, the Mazinger-Z moves with Left and Right and crouches with Down. It guards with A, attacks with B, and jumps with C. Blocked special attacks still inflict a small amount of damage. Pressing a direction while attacking changes the attack. For example, holding away from the opponent while attacking performs a wide slash, and pressing Up with attacking performs an upward slash.

The Mazinger-Z is defeated when it loses all of its health. If the player has extra lives remaining, it is revived. In the beat-'em-up sections, it is revived in place after a moment; in the fighting sections, the fight starts over. If the player runs out of lives, the game ends but can be continued from the beginning of the stage as long as the player has continues remaining. The player can choose the number of starting lives and continues as well as the difficulty level (Easy, Normal, or Hard) in the options. The player is awarded extra lives at 100,000, 300,000, and 700,000 points.
