Monster Slider (モンスタースライダー) is a cartoony horror-themed Puzzle Combat Game by Visco Games for the Arcade under license from DATT Japan. Monster Slider cabinets hit the video arcade scene some time in August of 1997, coming shortly after DATT Japan's wholly own Monster Slider in March. Like its predecessor, Monster Slider only saw release in Japan. To boot, it did not do well in the video arcade and most cabinets had been removed by December. What few remained lasted only half a year longer.As a Falling Blocks game, Monster Slider presents the player with a field and blocks in six to eight colors depending on difficulty: orange, red, yellow, green, purple, and blue are the default ones and cyan and white the extra two. Three of any given color need to be touching to be eliminated from the field. The signature gameplay feature that Monster Slider brings in is that the bottom of the field is tilted. The player can change the direction of the tilt as they please and this will cause the blocks to slide towards the new lowest point. Timely tilts can be very useful in creating chain eliminations. Eliminations are good for keeping one's field empty, scoring points, and thwarting the opponent. Every time an elimination occurs, a golden skull is generated. Gold skulls can be spent to summon silver skulls from the opponent's field's ceiling. Silver skulls are blocks that can only be eliminated by touching other blocks that get eliminated. A row of skulls will just keep sitting there. It's game over when the blocks and skulls fill up the field.New compared to the previous game are candles in the center of the screen. They burn up with time but opponents can get the other's candle to burn up faster with chain eliminations. Even just a 2-pointer will drastically cut into the opponent's candle duration. Some characters also can directly attack the opponent's candle by means of their special ability. If a candle is fully burned up, that means it's game over for its owner regardless of what the fields look like. This being an arcade game, the candle ensures that matches only last as long as is deemed reasonable for the payment.Story mode offers a selection of three protagonists: Niina, Kiil, and Doefsky. In two-player mode, they and all of the twelve antagonists can be picked from. Each character has a unique special ability that can only be activated by eliminating a star block. Doing so generates a character-specific emblem and much like gold skulls, emblems can be spent as the user deems it strategically sound. One emblem pays for one usage of the character's special ability. As an example, Niina's Holy Sphere plants a holy cross in her opponent's field. A holy cross can never be made to move from where it is planted and like a skull can only be eliminated when color blocks adjacent to it are eliminated. As another example, Kiil is one of the few characters whose special ability directly targets the opponent's candle, which he cuts short with a swing of his sword.The arcade game is an Alternate Continuity to the original game. Crodia gets abducted by Draqula and his monstrous servants, prompting her younger sister Niina, the guard Kiil, and the priest Doefsky to set out to rescue her. Any of them battles their way from the cemetery to a waterway that leads into a cave system and then up into Draqula's castle. Despite a barrier that has been put up to negate the hero's special ability, Draqula is soundly beaten. Crodia then reveals that she's been the mastermind for a while now, having defeated Draqula herself and taken over his castle. She enjoys her run as monster boss and refuses to leave, so the protagonists have to battle her to get her to come home.Keeping in mind that reviews of either game are scarce, the arcade version is considered inferior to the Sega Saturn version, accounting for its remarkably short run. The arcade version ditches the spooky visual and audial aesthetic that set its predecessor apart from Puyo Puyo to make it more alike Puyo Puyo. On top of that, while the game shows signs of wanting to be a step up from the Sega Saturn version, such as by providing each character with a personalized field design, compelling content like Pre-Battle Banter and story have been cut back on. The presence of character audio files that never activate during gameplay suggest that the game was rushed, possibly to keep the release date in the wake of Puyo Puyo Sun. | |

Cute Witch: One of Draqula's henchmen is the witch Ririan, who wears a minidress version of classical witch attire and wields a silly-looking wand. Ririan is one of the random opponents and her special ability, Metamorphose, is to transform herself into a palette swap version of her opponent and give them a taste of their own special ability. | |

Bedsheet Ghost: One of Draqula's henchmen is the ghost Naitou, who looks like a white blob with a spear and a helmet. His face appears to be drawn on him and he can switch between three drawing styles: a dot-eyed neutral face, a face with large and detailed eyes, and a face that too is dot-eyed but where the shocked expression gets a lot of detail. Naitou is one of the random opponents and his special ability is to take duration points from his opponent's candle and add it to his own. | |

Palette Swap: Ririan's special ability lets her change into her opponent, but she's always distinct because her palette is different. For instance, as Mikazuki she wears a red kimono instead of a blue one and as Gon Zo her lips are purple instead of red. | |

Damsel out of Distress | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_2b49eaf | comment |
Damsel out of Distress: Crodia gets abducted by Draqula and his servants. Rather than despair, she views her time as a captive as spare time and not wanting it to go to waste, she defeats Draqula herself, gets him to serve her, takes over his castle, and just for fun sets up a barrier that prevents special abilities from being used. This is primarily a security measure, but also allows her to mess with her would-be saviors. In the end, she has so much fun that her would-be saviors have to fight her to get her to come back home. Even after that, she can't stop being excited about her adventure. In Niina's ending, she recommends her sister to get abducted too some time. In Kiil's ending, she wonders if she can find someone else to abduct her next. | |

Sword Beam: The two swordsmen, Kiil and Mikazuki, both utilize sword beams. During his special ability, Kiil unleashes a sword beam on his opponent's candle to cut it shorter. Similarly, when Mikazuki readies his special ability, which is to cut through the opponent's candle with his sword, he first draws a glowing ring around him with the katana's tip. | |

The two are more fish-like than gillmen usually are, having a penguin-like physique and simple facial features. Masaru and his mother are among the random opponents and their special ability is to transform herself into a palette swap version of her opponent and give them a taste of their own special ability is to temporarily summon a pool of water that raises the floor of their opponent's field. | |

Onee-sama: Niina refers to Crodia as "onee-sama" and she herself is the polite young girl archetype. This sets up the expectation that Crodia is even more ladylike. This isn't the case: Crodia is selfish, arrogant, and indifferent. It is quite a shock for Niina after all she did to save her. | |

Snake People: Although she has the gorgon hair and stare, Patolisia's profile does not identify her as a gorgon, but as a snakewoman (hebi-onna). She has a human upper body, a snake lower body, and a snake's head growing from her human head instead of hair. Patolisia is one of Draqula's henchmen and noted as being the kindest monster of the lot. She is one of the random opponents and her special ability is her gaze that turns some of the opponent's blocks to stone. Petrified blocks act like skulls until adjacent blocks are eliminated. Then they return to normal. | |

Green Thumb | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_57c25438 | comment |
Green Thumb: Crodia's special ability is to sprout vines from her opponent's field's floor. These grow over their blocks and covered blocks cannot be part of an elimination row. The only way to remove the vines is to eliminate blocks adjacent to them and even then they'll only retreat as far as the eliminated blocks touched. How Crodia is able to do this is not explained. The special abilities of the other characters come from them being monsters or wielding weapons, while Crodia goes into battle barehanded and she's ostensibly human. | |

Suddenly Shouting: The protagonists have a habit of shouting whenever they have a strong reaction, be that telling Crodia that she can ABSOLUTELY NOT get abducted again, realizing they CAN'T USE THEIR SPECIAL ABILITY, or insisting that they're NOT OLD. Kiel in particular has a habit of raising his voice. | |

Trick Boss | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_6acf5d1b | comment |
Trick Boss: Draqula is set up as the big bad that needs to be overcome. Instead, it is revealed that his abduction victim, Crodia, has already beaten him into submission and taken over his castle. Once Draqula has been defeated, she steps forth and refuses to return home with her supposed savior because she enjoys her new lifestyle. This prompts a final fight to convince her otherwise. | |

Attract Mode | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_6caf4f3f | comment |
Attract Mode: One part of the attract mode is a bare-bones depiction of Crodia's abduction that sets up Draqula as the big bad. It also introduces the three protagonists, giving significantly more focus to the cute Niina than the other two. The other part is an explanation by the referee-esque critter how the game is played. | |

Pre-Battle Banter: Only the four default opponents — Cyasarin, Muscles, Draqula, and Crodia — make time for conversation prior to combat. What they say differs little between which protagonist goes up against them. | |

Camp Gay: Cyasarin is a self-described okama and seemingly works at an okama bar called Hakachi (The Boneyard). They wear makeup, a wig, and a large bow on their head, and their special ability has them posing in front of a giant heart while sending out projectile kisses. Cyasarin is smitten on sight by the handsome Kiil, but he wants nothing to do with Cyasarin. | |

Secret Underground Passage | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_74ab25a4 | comment |
Secret Underground Passage: There is a route into and from Draqula's castle that goes through a cave system and follows a path outside along an underground river. It is not technically secret because both the protagonists and Draqula's servants know about it and use it, but it is an underground route that is not part of the castle's structure. Nina battles one monster outside the cave, one monster inside the cave, and faces Muscles at the end of it. | |

Frankenstein's Monster | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_7a2ebcba | comment |
Frankenstein's Monster: One of Draqula's henchmen is the Frankenstein's monster Uga, who is a distinctly '90s redesign of the Universal look. Most notably, he sports a flattop about as tall as he his and his bolts are located at the top of it. Uga is one of the random opponents and his special ability is to summon down lightning that temporarily darkens his opponent's field except for the falling block. This makes it hard to color match. | |

Creepy Crossdresser: Cyasarin is a skeleton to begin with. The femininity of their look is accomplished with makeup, a wig, and a bow that all together look both dated and garish. Other than serving Draqula, Cyasarin isn't much of a bad person and quite friendly unless provoked, like when Niina and Kiil insulted them for being okama. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Several characters have non-Japanese names. In the two-player mode character selection screen, the names are displayed in both katakana and Roman script and very few non-Japanese ones get rendered as what they may be expected to be. Some of these are intentional, but others don't seem to be. Niina should've been Nina, Kiil should've been Kiel, Ririan should've been Lilian, Cyasarin should've been Catharine, Patolisia should've been Patricia, and Crodia should've been Claudia. Naitou and Draqula get addressed in their profiles: Naitou is an intentional and untranslatable pun on "Knight" and the Japanese name "Naitou", while Draqula's profile curiously states that the name is spelled with a "c" and not with a "q". | |

Schrödinger's Player Character: There are three protagonists to pick from to save Crodia. Niina is her sister and therefore fully personally motivated. Kiil is a guard and acquainted with Crodia. And the priest Doefsky seems to be a religious figurehead of their community and motivated by duty. Whichever one the player picks, the other two won't have a role in the story. | |

Medusa: Patolisia is midpoint between snake person and gorgon in that she looks like if someone cut a snake in half and then inserted a human upper body between the two halves. The one snake head on her human human is all she has for hair and it seems that the two heads are of one brain. As a proper gorgon, Patolisia has a petrifying gaze that she can unleash on her opponent's blocks. Petrified blocks act like skulls until adjacent blocks are eliminated. Then they return to normal. | |

For the Evulz: It's never explained why Draqula abducted Crodia. There's no hint of romantic interest and while Crodia's outfit in the attract mode suggests her to be nobility, neither financial nor political extortion are brought up either. So, that leaves Draqula's motivation for the abduction as him doing it because he can. | |

Contrasting Replacement Character | |
| Monster Slider (Arcade Cabinet) (Video Game) / int_ae0e2472 | comment |
Contrasting Replacement Character: The snowman Carrot takes the place of the yeti of the previous game. There is a bit of wordplay involved here because the Japanese word for yeti is "yuki otoko" — "snow man". So, a man made of snow replaces a man living in the snow. Furthermore, Carrot is dressed in an outfit resembling an elementary school uniform while the previous game's yeti was the most elderly looking of its cast. The werewolf Mikazuki takes the place of the wolfman of the previous game. While the brown-furred wolfman is an arrogant and bare-chested brute with cuffs on his wrists, the grey-furred Mikazuki is polite and clothed in a classy kimono. The golem Muscles takes the place of the golem of the previous game. While the other golem is an undressed, lean bodybuilder, Muscles is a sumo wrestler wearing a fancy tsuna. | |

Significant Wardrobe Shift: In the attract mode, Crodia is depicted as wearing a fancy mauve dress and lots of jewelry, suggesting that she's nobility or at least wealthy. When she's encountered as the final boss, she's replaced her jewelry with one necklace and one crown-like hair piece. She's too ditched her dress for a raisin-purple emsemble of a top, a skirt, gloves, and boots that leave her belly, arms, and legs exposed. What has changed is that Crodia beat Draqula herself and took control of him, his servants, and his castle. She's enjoying being a pro-active monster boss. | |

Lighter and Softer: The arcade game removes pretty much every spooky element of the console game. Niina goes from a Gothic monster hunter to an angelic figure. All monsters have gotten overhauls that make them more quirky and less threatening. The backgrounds are less distinct and therefore provide less atmosphere. And the music goes from haunting and even intimidating to bright and sparkly. | |
