Spatter, known in Japan as Sanrin San-Chan (三輪サンちゃん, lit. Sir Tricycle), is a Sega System 1 arcade maze puzzle game developed by Sega R&D 1 and manufacturer by Sega, and released exclusively to Japanese arcades in December 1984.

Gameplay

The object of the game is to collect all the flowers within a maze without hitting other enemies. To achieve this, the player controls "Sanrin Sanchan", a child on a tricycle, who can navigate the maze. Many parts of the maze are separated by fences, which can be used by Sanrin in order to defeat enemies. Jumping over enemies and pushing blocks into them are also options. Occasionally there is a two-dimensional bonus stage where the player must reach the top of the screen in the shortest possible time. Though the gameplay is wildly different, the structure of Splatter is very similar to Flicky.

History

Due to his similar tear-drop shaped heads and doughy eyes, Sanchan has been said to have inspired the design of the Chao characters in Sonic Adventure. However, Yuji Naka himself has confirmed that this is not the case, and any similarities between the two are purely coincidental.
