== Gameplay == The game involves one or two ghost-busters who can suck monsters, ghosts, aliens and various other oddball characters into vacuum-cleaner-like devices and spit them back as bouncing/rolling balls. Expelled enemies function as projectiles that can damage and kill other opponents on the screen when colliding with them. The game's looks are reminiscent of ''[[Buster Bros.|Pang]]''. Throughout the game, the player/s can collect [[Letter (message)|letters]] of the alphabet found in randomly appearing bubbles in order to gradually spell the word "TUMBLEPOP", the progress of which is permanently displayed at the bottom of the screen. When completed, players are transported to a bonus level which gives them the opportunity to obtain higher scores and an extra live, although this level is strictly timed. The word goes back to default after completion. In the original arcade version, the protagonists work their way through stages set in different parts of the world, each with their own enemies and at least one boss, as listed below: *[[Moscow]], which is a [[circus]]-like stage, enemies being [[clown]]s, invisible [[conjurer]]s, [[fire spitter]]s; the boss is a giant clown held by balloons who juggles with bombs. *[[Egypt]]: near the [[pyramid]]s in the desert, the enemies include fire spitters and [[mummy|mummies]]; the boss is a giant [[genie]] who spits fireballs. *[[Paris]]: near the [[Arch of Triumph]], all the enemies are [[robot]]s; the boss is a big flying robot that sends out flying hands. *[[New York City]]: near the [[Statue of Liberty]] and the [[World Trade Center]], the enemies are [[pumpkin]]-headed [[zombie]]s and [[octopus]]es; the boss is a giant octopus. *[[Rio de Janeiro]]: near the Statue of [[Christ the Redeemer]]: with several fire monsters; the boss is a dragon made out of fire. *[[Antarctica]]: populated by [[snowman|snowmen]], snowmen armed with [[shovel]]s, and hairy monsters; the boss is a giant snowman wearing a bucket on its head. *[[Australia]]; it has [[carnivorous plant]]s, cavemen and snowmen made out of mud; the boss is a giant two-headed carnivorous plant. *[[Japan]]: near [[Mount Fuji]] with [[yurei]]s, [[kappa (mythical creature)|kappas]] and skeletons; the boss is a giant pile of [[daruma]] dolls. *[[Space]]: [[Greys]], spacemen with [[blaster (weapon)|blaster]] guns. The boss is a flying robot that looks like the [[Flatwoods monster]]. *[[Moon]]: all the bosses from the previous worlds must be fought again. The final boss is a [[cyborg]] [[mad scientist]] controlling a giant robot. The player/s has to complete every level within a specific period of time before exceeding an invisible timer. If the players do not manage to eliminate all the monsters in time, a Dracula-like beast appears and approaches them with a sinister laugh. If the beast manages to touch a player before he/she eliminates all the monsters, the player suffers an instant loss of a life. This also counts in the Boss levels.
