'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ティンクルスタースプライツ) is a shoot-'em-up game by [[ADK]]. It was originally released for the [[Neo Geo]] in 1996, then it was ported to the [[Sega Saturn]] in 1997 and to the [[Sega Dreamcast]] in 2000.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The evil emperor Mevious (メヴィウス) wants to overthrow the kingdom of light and plunge the world in darkness. To do this, he steals the Twinkle Star, a magical artifact that can grant any wish, so he can wish for world domination. The fairy princess Load Ran (ロード・ラン) ventures out to reclaim the Twinkle Star and restore peace to the land.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a shoot-'em-up that borrows elements from competitive puzzle games such as ''[[Puyo Puyo]]''. Two players control characters that fly through separate versions of the same vertically scrolling stage in a split screen. As in a conventional shoot-'em-up, enemies fly at the characters in formation. Enemies explode and damage other nearby enemies when they are destroyed, potentially allowing players to create combination chains of exploding enemies. The two characters cannot directly shoot at each other, but creating combos sends balls of fire over to the opposing player's side of the screen (called a Normal Attack). Larger combos send more fireballs over. Players can attack the fireballs (or damage them in a chain explosion), which can send the fireballs back over to the other player's side as flashing fireballs if attacked enough (called a Reverse Attack). These fireballs can be shot back over again, which causes a powerful special counterattack (called an Extra Attack) that varies by character. Reflecting many Reverse Attacks at once can instead summon a boss (Boss Attack), which also changes depending on the character.
 +
 
 +
Characters can move in any direction using the D-Pad. They shoot with {{A}} or {{C}} in the Saturn version (or {{R}}, which can be held for rapid-fire) or {{A}} or {{X}} in the Dreamcast version. There are two types of shots: a normal shot, performed by pressing a fire button, and a more powerful charge shot, performed by holding a fire button to charge it and then releasing. The charge shot is different for each character but can always penetrate through multiple enemies. Bombs can be dropped with {{B}} in the Saturn version or {{B}} or {{Y}} in the Dreamcast version. Each character starts the round with two bombs, which clear the screen while briefly granting the player invincibility.
 +
 
 +
Enemies come in different colors, which indicates the number of normal shots is takes to destroy them. The strongest enemies are purple (requiring five shots to destroy), then blue, green, yellow, and finally red (requiring only one shot to destroy). Shooting an enemy changes it color to the next one in the series. Explosions, charged shots, and bombs can destroy enemies regardless of their color. Some enemies are surrounded by bubbles that require an additional shot or explosion to burst before the enemy can be attacked.
 +
 
 +
Each character has a power meter that fills as the player destroys enemies. The power meter starts every round at level 1 and can increase up to a maximum of three levels. Whenever the power meter increases in level, the character's charge shot is empowered. At level 1, the charge shot is launched by itself. At level 2, the charge shot and three Extra Attacks are launched. At level 3, the charge shot and a Boss Attack are launched. Firing charge shots at level 2 and above decreases the power gauge.
 +
 
 +
Both characters are given five health hearts at the start of a round. When a character takes damage, the opponent recovers hearts equal to half of the damage taken. Additionally, the character is stunned for a short while and reduced in movement speed and attack power for several seconds after recovery, while remaining vulnerable to attacks. Moving the D-Pad and pressing a button rapidly recovers from the stun more quickly. Colliding into an enemy costs one heart, but the character cannot be killed this way. If a character has one heart left, colliding with an enemy reduces the character's health to half of a heart, and colliding with an enemy while having half a heart does not cost any health. Getting hit by a Normal Attack, Reverse Attack, Extra Attack, or projectiles from a boss costs three hearts, which kills the character if there are not enough hearts left, ending the round in defeat.
 +
 
 +
Partway through a round, a blue orb appears among a chain of enemies. If this orb is destroyed in a chain, the player achieves Fever status for the next several seconds. Chains created during Fever generate faster and more plentiful Normal Attacks per enemy destroyed. If a round lasts longer than 100 seconds or the player does not fire a shot for more than 30 seconds, a Death enemy appears. A player hit by this enemy loses immediately (Death Attack). The Death can be destroyed as any other enemy but always comes back, harder to kill. If a player is successful in volleying the Death character over to the opponent's side, and Death touches the opponent, the opponent dies instantly.
 +
 
 +
===Modes===
 +
There are three play modes:
 +
 
 +
*'''Story Mode (ストーリー・モード):''' A single-player mode where the player controls Load Ran and must face seven computer-controlled opponents in seven different stages. There are story cutscenes in between stages. If the opponent is KO'd, the player moves on to the next stage; if the player is KO'd, the player must replay the stage from the beginning at the cost of a life.
 +
*'''Character Mode (キャラクター・モード):''' A single-player mode where the player chooses any character and faces seven computer-controlled opponents in the same seven stages as the Story Mode. There are no story scenes, but each character has an ending that reveals what they would wish for if they got the Twinkle Star.
 +
*'''Competitive Mode (対戦・モード):''' A two-player mode where each player chooses a character and competes in a match to the best of three rounds (which can be changed to the best of five rounds in the options).
 +
 
 +
The Saturn version can switch the game between two modes, SegaSaturn Mode and Arcade Mode, which have identical gameplay (and the same play modes) but differ in presentation. The SegaSaturn Mode has an animated introduction video, an arranged soundtrack, voice acting for the Story Mode and Character Mode, a new character in Character Mode and Competitive Mode, some additional graphical effects (such as transparent clouds), and less slowdown. The characters of Load Ran and Kim are renamed to Load Run and Kesubei. The Arcade Mode is accurate to the [[Neo Geo]] version. It lacks all of the new enhancements and restores the original arcade introduction. The Saturn version additionally includes a second disc, the ''Twinkle Star Eternal Box'', which includes hundreds of pieces of art (including official art, concept sketches, and fan art) and alternate versions of the opening theme.
 +
 
 +
The Dreamcast version is modeled after the Neo Geo version and lacks most of the bonuses of the Saturn version, but it has an option to use the arranged soundtrack, and it has less slowdown than the Saturn and Neo Geo versions. It also has the option for English or Spanish text in addition to Japanese, while the Saturn version is only available in Japanese.
 +
 
 +
===Characters===
 +
Load Ran is the only playable character in the Story Mode, but the other characters are selectable in the Character Mode and Competitive Mode.
 +
 
 +
Dark Ran, Mevious, and Queen Memory are unlocked by default in the SegaSaturn Mode of the Saturn version, but they must be unlocked using cheat codes in the Arcade Mode of the Saturn version and in the Dreamcast version.
 +
 
 +
The character Meirin is exclusive to the SegaSaturn Mode of the Saturn version.

    Story

    The evil emperor Mevious (メヴィウス) wants to overthrow the kingdom of light and plunge the world in darkness. To do this, he steals the Twinkle Star, a magical artifact that can grant any wish, so he can wish for world domination. The fairy princess Load Ran (ロード・ラン) ventures out to reclaim the Twinkle Star and restore peace to the land.

    Gameplay

    The game is a shoot-'em-up that borrows elements from competitive puzzle games such as Puyo Puyo. Two players control characters that fly through separate versions of the same vertically scrolling stage in a split screen. As in a conventional shoot-'em-up, enemies fly at the characters in formation. Enemies explode and damage other nearby enemies when they are destroyed, potentially allowing players to create combination chains of exploding enemies. The two characters cannot directly shoot at each other, but creating combos sends balls of fire over to the opposing player's side of the screen (called a Normal Attack). Larger combos send more fireballs over. Players can attack the fireballs (or damage them in a chain explosion), which can send the fireballs back over to the other player's side as flashing fireballs if attacked enough (called a Reverse Attack). These fireballs can be shot back over again, which causes a powerful special counterattack (called an Extra Attack) that varies by character. Reflecting many Reverse Attacks at once can instead summon a boss (Boss Attack), which also changes depending on the character.

    Characters can move in any direction using the D-Pad. They shoot with A or C in the Saturn version (or R, which can be held for rapid-fire) or A or X in the Dreamcast version. There are two types of shots: a normal shot, performed by pressing a fire button, and a more powerful charge shot, performed by holding a fire button to charge it and then releasing. The charge shot is different for each character but can always penetrate through multiple enemies. Bombs can be dropped with B in the Saturn version or B or Y in the Dreamcast version. Each character starts the round with two bombs, which clear the screen while briefly granting the player invincibility.

    Enemies come in different colors, which indicates the number of normal shots is takes to destroy them. The strongest enemies are purple (requiring five shots to destroy), then blue, green, yellow, and finally red (requiring only one shot to destroy). Shooting an enemy changes it color to the next one in the series. Explosions, charged shots, and bombs can destroy enemies regardless of their color. Some enemies are surrounded by bubbles that require an additional shot or explosion to burst before the enemy can be attacked.

    Each character has a power meter that fills as the player destroys enemies. The power meter starts every round at level 1 and can increase up to a maximum of three levels. Whenever the power meter increases in level, the character's charge shot is empowered. At level 1, the charge shot is launched by itself. At level 2, the charge shot and three Extra Attacks are launched. At level 3, the charge shot and a Boss Attack are launched. Firing charge shots at level 2 and above decreases the power gauge.

    Both characters are given five health hearts at the start of a round. When a character takes damage, the opponent recovers hearts equal to half of the damage taken. Additionally, the character is stunned for a short while and reduced in movement speed and attack power for several seconds after recovery, while remaining vulnerable to attacks. Moving the D-Pad and pressing a button rapidly recovers from the stun more quickly. Colliding into an enemy costs one heart, but the character cannot be killed this way. If a character has one heart left, colliding with an enemy reduces the character's health to half of a heart, and colliding with an enemy while having half a heart does not cost any health. Getting hit by a Normal Attack, Reverse Attack, Extra Attack, or projectiles from a boss costs three hearts, which kills the character if there are not enough hearts left, ending the round in defeat.

    Partway through a round, a blue orb appears among a chain of enemies. If this orb is destroyed in a chain, the player achieves Fever status for the next several seconds. Chains created during Fever generate faster and more plentiful Normal Attacks per enemy destroyed. If a round lasts longer than 100 seconds or the player does not fire a shot for more than 30 seconds, a Death enemy appears. A player hit by this enemy loses immediately (Death Attack). The Death can be destroyed as any other enemy but always comes back, harder to kill. If a player is successful in volleying the Death character over to the opponent's side, and Death touches the opponent, the opponent dies instantly.

    Modes

    There are three play modes:

    • Story Mode (ストーリー・モード): A single-player mode where the player controls Load Ran and must face seven computer-controlled opponents in seven different stages. There are story cutscenes in between stages. If the opponent is KO'd, the player moves on to the next stage; if the player is KO'd, the player must replay the stage from the beginning at the cost of a life.
    • Character Mode (キャラクター・モード): A single-player mode where the player chooses any character and faces seven computer-controlled opponents in the same seven stages as the Story Mode. There are no story scenes, but each character has an ending that reveals what they would wish for if they got the Twinkle Star.
    • Competitive Mode (対戦・モード): A two-player mode where each player chooses a character and competes in a match to the best of three rounds (which can be changed to the best of five rounds in the options).

    The Saturn version can switch the game between two modes, SegaSaturn Mode and Arcade Mode, which have identical gameplay (and the same play modes) but differ in presentation. The SegaSaturn Mode has an animated introduction video, an arranged soundtrack, voice acting for the Story Mode and Character Mode, a new character in Character Mode and Competitive Mode, some additional graphical effects (such as transparent clouds), and less slowdown. The characters of Load Ran and Kim are renamed to Load Run and Kesubei. The Arcade Mode is accurate to the Neo Geo version. It lacks all of the new enhancements and restores the original arcade introduction. The Saturn version additionally includes a second disc, the Twinkle Star Eternal Box, which includes hundreds of pieces of art (including official art, concept sketches, and fan art) and alternate versions of the opening theme.

    The Dreamcast version is modeled after the Neo Geo version and lacks most of the bonuses of the Saturn version, but it has an option to use the arranged soundtrack, and it has less slowdown than the Saturn and Neo Geo versions. It also has the option for English or Spanish text in addition to Japanese, while the Saturn version is only available in Japanese.

    Characters

    Load Ran is the only playable character in the Story Mode, but the other characters are selectable in the Character Mode and Competitive Mode.

    Dark Ran, Mevious, and Queen Memory are unlocked by default in the SegaSaturn Mode of the Saturn version, but they must be unlocked using cheat codes in the Arcade Mode of the Saturn version and in the Dreamcast version.

    The character Meirin is exclusive to the SegaSaturn Mode of the Saturn version.
