ăąăŻă»ă«ăăăȘăă (c) 1993 Tomy (Accele Brid) Players progress through the game as a robot racing through a pipe, shooting everything that moves. The robot can shoot from both arms, jump, kick and punch. There are also power-ups and bonuses that can be collected to upgrade the robot's weapons and armor. There are three different types of robots to choose from: Silver Mare, Beliws, and Nitika. Weapons are chosen before each stage. Three difficulty levels can be chosen; ranging from easy, medium, and hard. - TECHNICAL - GAME ID: SHVC-AY-JPN - TRIVIA - Accele Brid was released on November 26, 1993 (Friday) in Japan. It was never published outside Japan. Genre-Bending Mechanics: While often categorized as a shooter, Accele Brid is technically a hybrid of "tube-racing" and combat. It is frequently compared to games like Space Harrier or Star Fox due to its "into-the-screen" perspective, but it adds a layer of depth by allowing the player's mech to jump, punch, and kick, rather than just firing projectiles. Developer Pedigree: The game was developed by Genki, a studio that would later become widely known for their focus on racing and car-culture games, most notably the Shutokou Battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer) series. You can see the DNA of their later interest in high-speed, arcade-style movement even in this early 16-bit mech shooter. The "Tomy" Connection: Published by Tomy, the game leans heavily into the Japanese fascination with "transformable" mecha. The player's robot can shift between forms, a hallmark of the high-quality plastic-model aesthetics that the company was famous for in the toy industry. Critical Reception: The game received a very polarized reception upon release. Famitsu magazine famously gave it a disjointed set of scores (6, 3, 5, 3 out of 10), reflecting the frustration some players felt with its repetitive "pipe-shooting" gameplay versus those who appreciated its technical ambition. Robot Customization: Before each stage, players are prompted to choose one of three distinct robotsâSilver Mare, Beliws, or Nitikaâand customize their loadout. This was a relatively advanced level of preparation for a 1993 console shooter, as most contemporaries opted for fixed ship/character performance. Visual Ambition: The game pushed the Super Famicomâs capabilities to create a sense of speed within a "tube" environment, an effect that was notoriously difficult to render smoothly on the hardware. It is considered a technical "early attempt" at the kind of scaling and rotation effects that would become much more refined in later titles. - STAFF - Tomy Exective Producer: Tokio Tomita Producer: Masayuki Umasaki Sound M'S Sound Compositer: Haruhiko Kuroiwa Adventure Planning Service Costume Designer: Rika Takahashi Manual Writing: Tamiki Tominaga, Masahiro Hasegawa Graphic Designer: Chiyomi Nozaki, Rika Takahashi Design Direction: Kondou, Koushi Mechanic Designer: Tatsumi Minegishi Character Designer: Motofumi Kobayashi (Genbun Kobayashi) Planner: Manami Kuroda (Caros K) Programmer: Bomber Kim, Ukiki, Thomas Bros., Scott.
