Gameplay[edit | edit source]

The genre of this game is a puzzle game. The player must place blocks with various Sanrio character faces on them. Matching three of these characters (e.g. vertically) causes them to disappear and this counts as a 'line'.

There are various game modes, such as the Famicom version's introductory course (in which the playing field is small, Sanrio character icons are relatively large and the only objective is to make lines) and 'aim for a highscore' mode, in which the playing field is large, icons take up far less of the screen and the objective other than to clear lines is to score the most points and clear levels.
