Twinkle Tale (ツインクルテール) is a 1992 Sega Mega Drive shoot-'em-up developed by Zap and published by Wonder Amusement Studio exclusively in Japan.
Control is similar to Mercs: you control Saria as she moves up the level; you can move freely around the screen as it will not automatically scroll, however you cannot go back down once you have gone up to a different part of the level. B shoots (hold for rapidfire). A sends out a strong magic attack. C chooses a weapon. Powerups and magic attacks are found in treasure chests opened by shooting at them.

典型的Top-down shooter式STG(类似SNK的《怒》以及《超级魂斗罗》和《魂斗罗3》的俯视关卡等),不少地方确实借鉴了早期RPG的地图设计(比如隐藏房间和分支路线等),但难度实在太大,且节奏强度非常之高,要想上手还真不容易。
