Magical Drop Plus 1! was released in English as Chain Reaction. The game received an updated version named Magical Drop Plus 1!, which adds a Solo Play mode that challenges players to obtain a high score without having to battle an AI opponent. It features a single-player mode, where the player battles each playable character before taking on World in one final encounter, as well as a two-player multiplayer mode. It features Fool, Magician, High Priestess, Chariot, Devil, and Star as playable characters. The first game in the series, first released to arcades in 1995. For example, with the character Devil, all the columns will descend at the same rate, whereas with Sun, the middle columns will descend faster than the others. This causes a disjunction of colors that may make it more difficult for the other player to clear their stack.

The columns of the opponent's stack will descend at different rates relative to each other depending on the character chosen. Different characters have different attack patterns. There are 24 characters, all but the Black Pierrot being named after a tarot card (although the Strength card has been represented by two characters throughout the series).

The game is normally played with two players (one may be a computer opponent), and chains cause the opponent's stack to descend faster. Chains are formed either when a single drop caused a chain reaction, or when more than one group of bubbles is destroyed in quick succession. Bubbles can be picked up and dropped by the player's clown at the bottom, and are destroyed when three or more of the same color are put together on a single column. Magical Drop is a series of puzzle games first released in the arcade, and later primarily for several platforms such as the Neo Geo Arcade, Super Famicom, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Bandai WonderSwan, GBC and the Neo Geo Pocket Color most of which were published by Data East.Ī stack of random colored bubbles descend from the top, and a player is defeated when a bubble hits the bottom.
