A falling block puzzle video game released through Sega Meganet in which Sonic the Hedgehog, controlled by the player, must make random falling clusters of shapes disappear by aligning shapes of the same variety on a grid. The falling shapes include a red tetrahedron, a pink cross, a green gemstone, an orange octahedron, a white gemstone, a yellow tetrahedron and a blue sphere. The general aim for all game modes is to align two or more identical shapes with each other inside a 13x7 grid, which makes the shapes disappear, scores points, and creates empty space on the grid for other shapes. If lower shapes disappear, shapes stacked above may fall into their place, potentially causing more shapes to align and vanish in a chain reaction. Inevitably, the grid will become filled with shapes, and when the shapes stack to the top row of the grid, the game is over. The game features multiple modes, including a competitive two-player mode, a single-player mode against a computer, and a two-player cooperative mode. In the versus mode, players can attack each other like in Puyo Puyo. In the two-player co-op mode, there are four game types; 'Round', 'Normal', 'Doubt' and 'Block'.
