Mad Bazooka (マッド・バズーカ) is a large designed by Sega AM4 for Sega's indoor theme parks.
Gameplay
Mad Bazooka is a indoor bumper car ride/target-shooting game designed to last 3.5 minutes long. Players assume control of 10 "Mad Carts", divided into two teams, in a 352 sq. meter arena. Each cart seats two people; one driver and one shooter. The driver collects coloured foam balls littering the floor of the arena by driving over them, while the shooter uses a pneumatic cannon mounted on the front of the vehicle to fire the balls – up to 8 per second at speeds of 80 mph - at targets on top of the other cars. Hitting the targets increases the team's score, which is displayed on an LED screen inside the vehicle.
After the game is completed, the winning team is declared, and a variety of statistics (i.e. the number of hits, contribution to the team, rank within the team, etc.) are totalled for each cart and printed out on a scorecard for the player to keep as a souvenir. Although usually played as a team game, Mad Bazooka also included settings for individual battle and team-switching modes.[1]
Location history
Mad Bazooka was installed at the following amusement theme parks opened by Sega during the mid 90s:
- Yokohama Joypolis (debut location)
- Yokkaichi Galbo
- Niigata Joypolis
- SegaWorld London
- Sega World Sydney
All four locations besides Yokohama Joypolis had Mad Bazooka removed in the late 1990s before their own permanent closures. One of these installations is believed to have been bought and relocated to Kurashiki Tivoli Park in Okayama, where it was partially rethemed under the name of Hell Fighter whilst still retaining its main gameplay features.[2] After Yokohama Joypolis closed in February 2001, the Tivoli version became the only example to remain in operation, staying at the park until its closure in 2009.
