If a player continues the existing round, 1 minute is added to remaining time. During each round, random items can appear in the field, which can help or hinder player's progress. A round begins with player at the edge of the background. Capturing an area can be done by moving cursor to the edge of the background or edge of an already captured area. There are various blocks appear in each round, which can block the movement of player but not enemies, and also affects the strategies of capturing silhouettes. Blocks disappear when capturing an area with enclosed blocks. At the top of each round is a 20-level meter, where it starts with 11. The meter gauge increases or decreases depending on how background area is captured. Usually it decreases when capturing area with silhouette, but increases when capturing area without silhouette. The meter decreases by 1 if player does not capture an area for a prolonged period. If the meter reaches 0, player loses a life; if the meter reaches 20 (full), the round is automatically cleared; if the meter reaches yellow (6 bars), the background and silhouette is replaced by an alternate picture, with different silhouette. The type of alternate background is chosen at random. When the background change occurs, it can be changed back to girl background by increasing meter level to 10. However, if the silhouette ratio reaches 80% with alternate background, that game round is restarted afterwards, without going through roulette round. This game includes 6 stages, with 3 rounds each. Between each round there is a roulette mini-game, where player gets a random item that can help or hinder game play of next round. If a round is cleared with 100% captured silhouette, a [[can-can]] dance sequence with '100% CLEAR' title is shown. ===2-player mode=== If 2 players are simultaneously active, a player can gain a life at the expense of the other by capturing an area where the other player is contained. ===Models=== Round 1 is the girl with normal outfit, round 2 is the girl in (exposed) underwear, round 3 is the topless girl wearing only panties. After clearing all 3 rounds, the photo version of the girl appears in round 3 pose, sometimes in different perspectives, but naked (except for Emi, who is wearing black panties). *Marina Matsumoto *Ayami Kida *Nami Ozawa *Yuki Miho *Emi Nakahara *Shiori Asano ===Alternate models=== *Ninja *Octopus *Crocodile *Bear *Sheep ===Challenge Stage=== After completing a stage with 1 credit, sometimes a Challenge Stage option appear after completing at least 2 stages. In a challenge stage, player can earn extra lives by completing the stage with only 1 life, competing against the purple man boss, with reduced time limit. The actual amount of lives gained depends on player's performance. The chosen girl appears in the round 1 alternate costume. After playing a Challenge Stage, only the non-completed stages are selectable. ===Bosses=== The round boss shrinks whenever it is stuck in a small area. *Spider: Round 1 boss. It can fire web that slows player's movement, or spawn mini-spiders. It moves diagonally. *Fireball: Round 2 boss. It can explode into flames that can kill players attempting to capture background. *Tetrahedron: Round 3 boss. Lightning can appear around boss that kills player. When it splits, the boss is replaced by spheres, bars, stars, and halos, with only one of them is the true boss, which reveals itself after a long moment. The impostors enemies self-destruct after a while. *Purple man: Challenge Stage boss. It does not attack on its own, except it creates miniature version of itself. ===Stage items=== *UFO: Causes meteors to appear, which destroy non-boss enemies upon contact. *Hourglass: Immobilizes enemies for a short moment. *Hamburger: Increases the meter by 4 levels. *Angel: Increases the meter level. Only appears when alternate background is shown. It switches into skull in regular time interval. *Skull: Decreases the meter level. Only appears when alternate background is shown. It switches into angel in regular time interval. ===Roulette items=== *1UP: Adds 1 life *Level up: Increases the meter level by 4 at the beginning of next round. *Level down: Decreases the meter level by 2 at the beginning of next round. *Time: Adds 30 seconds at the beginning of next round. *Time Down: Subtracts 30 seconds at the beginning of next round. *Return: Restarts the last completed round. *Break: The game pauses for a moment with roulette player dancing, but does not affect the game play of next round. *Out: No effect. ===Alternate version=== In alternate version, different background pictures are used in some rounds, with corresponding change in silhouettes. In addition, the girls may have different hair colour or wear different costumes, and simply wear a more revealing costumes at round 2 instead of just the undressed version of the round 1 counterpart. Otherwise, the round 3 backgrounds and the final photos are not changed. ===EXPRO-02 version=== For versions designed for EXPRO-02 board, extra raster scaling and transformation effects are used throughout the game. In addition, player's cursor can move closer to the blocks to the point of touching them. Tetrahedron boss has longer lightning range. The Japanese version based on EXPRO-02 is published by Taito. It includes Japanese voices and texts instead of English. However, the ending picture after completing round 3 was removed. ===US version=== This version is based on the EXPRO-02 release, but added parental control features, where the 3rd round girl is wearing bra, and the final photo is not shown when the feature is activated. In addition, the game can be configured to move cursor out of captured area without pressing button.
