About

Dreams Co. Ltd. is best known for its work on Taito's puzzle franchises, developing titles such as Pop'n Pop, Bust-A-Move Millennium, and the Super Bust-A-Move series. The studio also developed the Game Boy Color title M&M's Mini Madness in 2000.
Operating primarily as a contract developer during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the company specialized in adapting established arcade properties for home consoles and handheld systems. For the 1998 PlayStation release of Pop'n Pop, the studio translated Taito's color-matching arcade game to home hardware, later downsizing the experience for a 2001 Game Boy Color port.
The studio's relationship with Taito's flagship puzzle intellectual property deepened with Bust-A-Move Millennium on the Game Boy Color in 2000, which introduced a story mode and new characters to the bubble-shooting formula. That same year, the developer transitioned the franchise to next-generation hardware with Super Bust-A-Move on the PlayStation 2, modernizing the series with high-resolution 2D graphics and a distinct art style. This was followed by Super Bust-A-Move 2, which expanded the gameplay with new character rosters and puzzle modes across its 2000 arcade and 2002 PlayStation 2 releases.
In the licensed platforming genre, the developer designed M&M's Mini Madness as a side-scrolling adventure. Published by Simon & Schuster Interactive, the game utilized the Game Boy Color's hardware to render four playable candy characters, each possessing unique abilities required to navigate various household environments.
