Maybe Arle drives a CARbuncle?

Nice pun name, but I doubt Carbuncle would want to lower himself to be a car since he's always flying all the time.

I can imagine a Puyo Puyo course set around the Magic School.

Whenever someone said "Magic School" my mind is always on Hogwarst.

Similar to Curien Mansion course, the racecourse could drive through the courtyard and some of the surrounding areas, all the while fallen puyo obstruct the track.

Weren't falling puyos already done in Japanese version of Racing Transformed?

Wouldn't mind riding over them speed bumps!

Nice pun name, but I doubt Carbuncle would want to lower himself to be a car since he's always flying all the time.

At least a car themed on Carbuncle. Though if for Transformed it was a car that changes to land, air or water themed on three of the five puyo, I dunno which puyo would be chosen.

Whenever someone said "Magic School" my mind is always on Hogwarst.

If Warner Bros. can rip-off Smash Bros. for Multi Versus, they'll probably rip-off Mario Kart eventually so I wouldn't be surprise if there will be race cars driving around Hogwarts at some point.

But I can imagine a Primp Town race course if done right.

I didn't know given I played the European version.

You'll end up dead though if you couldn't catch up with her speed, just like what's happened with MC and Outrun in the first chapter.

Does it have to be Arle or Ringo who drives the car?
Why not the Puyo? It would be funnier and more memorable that way.

They are still students, all they are allowed to ride was ... broomstick.
And that reminded me a game with wizards and broomstick ... Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing.

Keiichi Matsunami is Retiring from SEGA

"Today, October 31, 2023, I am retiring from Sega.
I wondered whether I would continue at Sega, but I have lived my life to create games that will develop the game culture, and I will continue to produce games with that ambition.
I will continue to do my best."

Oh dear, I best stick wit Columns.

It would be. (Where did you even find that picture?) But Arle has always been the poster girl to the Puyo Puyo series next to the puyos themselves.

Nah it be an assortment of racers from various WB franchises just like MultiVersus. If anything it be weird to see the Mystery Machine, Bug's carrot racecar, the batmobile, Rick's space cruiser and other whacy racing vehicles driving around Hogwarts.

Sure it will be a violation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy but a MultiVersus Whacky Racing game would be awesome.

Da queen. She'll treat us and everyone same way ... as slaves.

Understandable. The teachers might be like "F the rule. Start your engine kids and beat those cartoonic demons plaguing our sacred castle."

As long as I get to be in her harem, sure.

Dr. Robotnik with his mean bean machine be like :
Dr. Eggman was already in the racing games.

"Like zoinks Scoob! This castle is full of magic and ghosts!"

Fred : "Don't worry, probably only humans pretending to be ghosts again for nefarious reasons."
Shaggy : "But they are flying!!!"

Shaggy: "And I'm pretty sure one of those kids call me a muggle, whatever that means."

Well, Arle made sure she kept her throne.

Shaggy: "And I'm pretty sure one of those kids call me a muggle, whatever that means.

Scooby Doo :  "Ruh-roh, it must be a food name, Raggy. They're gonna eat you."

"Well, Arle made sure she kept her throne.

Does that mean Arle is stronger than Robotnik?

"Like zoinks! Scoob!"

Does that mean Arle is stronger than Robotnik?

In a way... yeah.

The game may have had Dr. Robotniks name in the title but Dr. Robotnik himself was the antagonist, not the protagonist. Therefore, given it's an imported game he would be the reskin of Satan, who Arle has beaten many times.

Hm... I'm curious how far Sega will make this as a franchise, or if it will just be arcade exclusives.

Who's the protagonist in Mean Bean Machine?
Is it us as player, Sonic, or may be ... another Robotnik?
Since Arle has Dark Arle, may be Robotnik has Light Robotnik?

Hm... I'm curious how far Sega will make this as a franchise, or if it will just be arcade exclusives.

Just like Daytona 3, Drone Racing Genesis, Storm Rider 2, and Initial D The Arcade Ver 2.0 before, it'd be an arcade exclusive.
