| abstract | - In addition to moving around, the players can jump and also cling to vertical walls, allowing them to climb to areas that would otherwise be out of reach. Each player is armed with a magic sword, which is the main weapon used against enemies. Magic bombs can also be collected as the game progresses, each of which will cause damage to all enemies on the screen when used. Only a limited number of these bombs can be carried by the players at a time. Each player has an energy bar which is depleted each time contact is made with an enemy or projectile. When the energy reaches zero, the player loses a life. Chests are scattered throughout the game (some of which are hidden and must be discovered), the majority of which contain coins that award points to the player, some of them contain weapon upgrades and life-ups, such as a pill that replenishes the players' energy bars and an enhanced magic sword/shield. Some chests are also trapped and disburse tiny frogs that can catch the player off-guard and cause damage.
