Tumblepop

Tumblepop is a 1991 platform video game developed and published by Data East for arcades. It was released in North America by Leprechaun Inc. and in Europe by Mitchell Corporation. Starring two ghosthunters, players are tasked with travelling across different countries, capturing enemies and throwing them as bouncing ball, jumping on and off platforms to navigate level obstacles while dodging and defeating monsters in order to save the world. Designed by Makoto Kikuchi, Tumblepop was developed by most of the same team that worked on several projects at Data East. The game was later ported to the Game Boy with several changes or additions from the original version.
