Jewel Master (ジュエルマスター) is a Sega Mega Drive action game developed by Sega R&D 2 and published by Sega. It is a port of the unfinished X68000 game Blade of the Great Elements^[1]^[8]. It was first released in Japan in August 1991 and was brought to the United States and Europe later that year.

Story

The Kingdom of Mythgard is terrorized by Demon King Jardine the Mad and his Dark Legion, but they are stopped right before successfully destroying Mythgard by the Twelve Masters of the Elements. Jardine manages to destroy eight of the twelve, and the other four channel their power to a Holy Blade, which you must retrieve to finally defeat Jardine.

Gameplay

Ring select

The game is a side-scrolling action-adventure played as a mystical warrior who obtains magic powers through the use of elemental rings. The rings represent the "four powers of nature": fire (red), water (blue), wind (white), and earth (green). There are three rings for each element, each increasing in power. The warrior starts the game with one fire and one water ring and obtains the remaining ten from defeating fantastical creatures over the course of his journey. The warrior can equip up to two rings on each hand, with different combinations of rings bestowing different abilities upon him. Some combinations of rings produce a unique ability while others no effect. Some enemies are only vulnerable to certain elements, and some stages require the use of special jumping abilities granted by the rings.

The warrior moves with and and crouches with . He jumps with and jumps off platforms (including the stairs in the first stage) with +. He uses the ability on his left hand with and the ability on his right hand with . Magic attacks can be done while crouching or jumping. They can also be aimed directly upwards (even in midair) by holding .

The player can change the equipped rings at any time by pausing the game with START . The D-Pad moves the cursor to select a ring, and selects a ring. While a ring is selected, places it or removes it. All rings can be unequipped with .

The warrior has a life gauge represented by colored rectangles. Each unit changes color before it is eventually lost as the warrior takes damage from foes. The game ends if the warrior loses all of his life, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current stage if the player has credits remaining. Every stage has a hidden fairy that extends the life gauge by one unit if found and rescued.

Magic powers

If more than one ring of the same element is worn on the same hand, the effect of the highest level ring is given.

	Flame
	Generates a jet of flame in front of the warrior. This ability is produced by equipping Fire Level 1, 2, or 3 by itself on one hand. The second level produces a longer flame than the first. The third level shoots a tall fan of flame a short distance forwards.
	Fire Wall
	Drops pillars of fire that burn along the ground a short distance in front of the warrior. This ability is produced by equipping Fire Level 1 or 2 and Earth Level 1, 2, or 3 on the same hand. Higher levels of earth rings produce a wider and taller area of effect.
	Fire Viper
	Unleashes a fire viper made of fireballs, which bounces off the ground towards enemies. This ability is produced by equipping Fire Level 3 and Earth Level 1, 2, or 3 on the same hand. Higher levels of earth rings produce longer and faster vipers.
	Fire Ball
	Shoots fireballs across the length of the screen. This ability is produced by equipping Fire Level 1, 2, or 3 and Wind Level 1, 2, or 3 on the same hand. Higher levels of fire rings increases the number of fireballs to two or three (which travel in a conical formation). Higher levels of wind rings increases the speed at which the fireballs fly.
	Barrier
	Conjures a barrier that briefly reduces the damage that the warrior takes from enemy attacks. This ability is produced by equipping Water Level 1, 2, or 3 by itself on one hand. Higher levels of water rings lengthens the duration of the effect.
	Wave
	Shoots an energy ball that travels in a sinusoidal wave pattern across the length of the screen. This ability is produced by equipping Water Level 1, 2, or 3 and Wind Level 1, 2, or 3 on the same hand. Higher levels of water rings increases the number of energy balls to two or three. Higher levels of wind rings increases the speed at which the energy balls fly.
	Ice Dagger
	Shoots a wave-shaped projectile across the screen, which ricochets off surfaces. This ability is produced by equipping Water Level 1, 2, or 3 and Earth Level 1, 2, or 3 on the same hand. Higher levels of water rings increases the number of projectiles to two or three. Higher levels of earth rings increases the speed at which the projectiles fly.
	Earthquake
	Causes the ground to tremble, stunning ground-based enemies (but having no effect on flying enemies). This ability is produced by equipping Earth Level 1, 2, or 3 by itself on one hand. Higher levels of earth rings increases the stun duration.
	Speed Up
	Increases the movement speed of the warrior. This ability is passive and persists for as long as the ring is equipped. It is produced by equipping Wind Level 1 by itself on one hand.
	High Jump
	Increases the jump height of the warrior. This ability is passive and persists for as long as the ring is equipped. It is produced by equipping Wind Level 2 by itself on one hand.
	Double Jump
	Grants the warrior the ability to jump a second time in midair. This ability is passive and persists for as long as the ring is equipped. It is produced by equipping Wind Level 3 by itself on one hand.
	Blade
	Arms the warrior with the legendary blade of the Element Masters. When swung, the sword blasts an energy wave imbued with the power of the four elements. This ability is produced by equipping Fire Level 3 and Wind Level 3 on the same hand with Earth Level 3 and Wind Level 3 on the other hand.

Items

	Fruit
	Restores one unit of the life gauge.
	Life Potion
	Fully restores the life gauge.

+'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ジュエルマスター) is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] action game developed by [[Sega R&D 2]] and published by [[Sega]]. It is a port of the unfinished [[X68000]] game ''Blade of the Great Elements''{{ref|https://murakun5555.at.webry.info/201112/article_36.html}}{{ref|https://twitter.com/goldwing1992/status/1269715385634471938}}. It was first released in Japan in August 1991 and was brought to the United States and Europe later that year.
+==Story==
+The Kingdom of Mythgard is terrorized by Demon King Jardine the Mad and his Dark Legion, but they are stopped right before successfully destroying Mythgard by the Twelve Masters of the Elements. Jardine manages to destroy eight of the twelve, and the other four channel their power to a Holy Blade, which you must retrieve to finally defeat Jardine.
+==Gameplay==
+{{ScreenThumb|Jewel Master, Ring Select.png|width=200|Ring select}}
+The game is a side-scrolling action-adventure played as a mystical warrior who obtains magic powers through the use of elemental rings. The rings represent the "four powers of nature": fire (red), water (blue), wind (white), and earth (green). There are three rings for each element, each increasing in power. The warrior starts the game with one fire and one water ring and obtains the remaining ten from defeating fantastical creatures over the course of his journey. The warrior can equip up to two rings on each hand, with different combinations of rings bestowing different abilities upon him. Some combinations of rings produce a unique ability while others no effect. Some enemies are only vulnerable to certain elements, and some stages require the use of special jumping abilities granted by the rings.
+The warrior moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. He jumps with {{C}} and jumps off platforms (including the stairs in the first stage) with {{down}}+{{C}}. He uses the ability on his left hand with {{A}} and the ability on his right hand with {{B}}. Magic attacks can be done while crouching or jumping. They can also be aimed directly upwards (even in midair) by holding {{up}}.
+The player can change the equipped rings at any time by pausing the game with {{Start}}. The D-Pad moves the cursor to select a ring, and {{C}} selects a ring. While a ring is selected, {{C}} places it or {{B}} removes it. All rings can be unequipped with {{A}}.
+The warrior has a life gauge represented by colored rectangles. Each unit changes color before it is eventually lost as the warrior takes damage from foes. The game ends if the warrior loses all of his life, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current stage if the player has credits remaining. Every stage has a hidden fairy that extends the life gauge by one unit if found and rescued.

-The kingdom of Mythgard is terrorized by Demon King Jardine the Mad and his Dark Legion, but is stopped right before successfully destroying Mythgard by the Twelve Masters of the Elements.
