The gameplay is similar to Breakout or Arkanoid. You control a moving paddle to bounce balls and break gems along the upper area of the play field.
The game has ten worlds with ten levels in each, featuring different environments like air, seas, rivers, forests, and castles. Scoring is increased when hitting gems quickly, but losing a "life" if the ball falls past the paddle. The end of each world is a boss battle, where you must bounce the ball off the weak spot while avoiding attacks.
Two players can team up or challenge each other in split-screen Battle Mode. In addition to scoring points, you build up MP by smashing gems and collecting items. You use MP to purchase powerups at the start of each level.
Powerups include multiball, piercing ball, wider paddle, and a comically enormous ball. Graphical effects are used during boss battles and with some powerups to generate snow and stretch the screen. High scores are saved, but progress within worlds is not.

Playing the Game
There are 10 WORLDS in SORCERER'S MAZE. Each world is a maze with 10 stages.
When you reach the 10th Stage of each world, you will battle the BOSS. All Bosses are different and have unique weaknesses you must discover to defeat them. The 10th WORLD has an 11th and final stage. Defeat its Boss to complete the SORCERER'S MAZE.
Characters
You are Prism or Rhythm. Each character has 3 lives.
If you lose all 3 lives, it's game over. A "Continue?" screen will appear. Press the button before the timer reaches 0 to continue.
Gameplay Objective
Control the characters and bounce the ball back to break the panels. When all panels on the screen are broken, you clear the stage and move to the next.
Some panels can be broken with the standard Ball, while others cannot. Panels can be broken with 1, 2, or 3 hits, scoring from 100 up to 3000 points. Panels requiring more than the normal Ball to break are worth 3000 points.
Combo Points
Break more than 2 panels before the ball returns to Prism or Rhythm to earn high points with combos. You can also gain Magical Orbs that will help in your attacks. Go for the combos!
Pause Game
During the game, press the START button to pause. Select Cancel to return to the game.

Magic Orbs
In every stage, there are hidden Magic Orbs. Catch the Orbs when they fall to help you get through the level. Each Orb has its own powers.
Magic Orbs Affecting Prism and Rhythm
Magic Orbs can make the reflector ball bigger or smaller, and allow you to control the angle of ball travel. The ball can also split. Catch the ball or press the button to release it. Press the button to release a straight beam of light that will break the panel.
Magic Orbs Affecting the Ball
Magic Orbs can make the ball move faster or slower, or break through panels. Press the button and panels will break around the ball. The ball can split into 100 pieces or become big and break normally unbreakable panels.
Magic Orbs Affecting the Stage
Magic Orbs can create a barrier to prevent the ball from falling, or make the ball go through the wall to the other side. A star can fall and break panels, or the Magic Orb can give you an extra Life.
Cast Window
When a stage starts, you can buy Magic Orbs with your MP (Magic Points). MP is earned based on the number of combos or high points you achieved in the previous stage. Buy magic orbs to help with your next stage.
On the bottom of the cast window, you can see your current MP. Place the cursor on the items you want to purchase and press the button to select. When finished, move the cursor to the START button at the top to begin the next stage.
