Review
Also known as
Twinbee da! ツインビーだ!!

Control a fighter in this vertical shooter, rescuing a scientist across six planets with bell-based power-ups.

Pop'n TwinBee (TwinBee Da!!) was released for the Game Boy in Japan on October 12, 1990. It is an original Game Boy title, not a port of an earlier arcade game, so the original release year is also 1990.

About Pop’n TwinBee

Pop'n TwinBee is a Game Boy adaptation of the vertical scrolling shooter TwinBee. Players pilot experimental fighter craft across six distinct planetary environments to free Dr. Cinnamon from an alien threat.

The core experience involves navigating a vertically scrolling playfield while firing lasers at hostile, often whimsically designed enemies. A defining mechanic is the bell power-up system, where shooting the bells changes their appearance, allowing the player to select different upgrades. The game can be experienced alone or with another player through the Game Link cable.
