What Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou! is

Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou! is a puzzle game developed by Data East and released in 1999. It is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Magical Drop III was ported twice to the Sony PlayStation. The first PlayStation port, Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou!, and features a mode that attempts to play similar to the arcade version alongside the Saturn's "special" rebalanced mode. Despite the "arcade" version visually mimicking the Neo Geo AES version (down to emulating the starting menu), there are several gameplay and graphical quirks that suggest that it is an adjusted version of the "special" mode rather than a direct port. The choice between Arcade and Special mode is given to the player immediately upon booting the game, and the system must be reset to switch.
