Bust-a-Move 2: Arcade Edition is a puzzle game released on the Sega Saturn console in 1996. The story follows two rival chefs, Kuni and Shobito, who compete to create the most delicious dishes. However, their kitchen is filled with falling cubes that need to be cleared by matching colors.
Gameplay involves sliding tiles around to create sets of three or more in a row. As you progress through levels, new obstacles and challenges appear, making it harder to achieve your goal. The game requires strategy and quick thinking to clear the kitchen before time runs out.

How to Play
Starting Up
Set up your Sega Saturn™ system as described in its instruction manual and plug in Control Pad(s). *Bust A Move 2™: Arcade Edition* supports one or two players.
Place the disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn™. The Sega Saturn™ logo appears on screen.
If nothing happens, turn the system off and ensure it is set up correctly before turning it on again. To stop the game or display the Control Panel at the end, press the Reset Button on the console.
Important: The CD contains a security code. Keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If reading issues occur, remove the disc and wipe it from the center straight out toward the edge.

Aim bubbles with the D-PAD and fire them with the A, B, or C BUTTONS*. You can alter these button settings in the OPTION Screen.
