Arkanoid Returns[a] is an arcade game released by Taito in February 1997 as part of the Arkanoid series.

The game was ported to the PlayStation later the same year,[1] with an updated home release being released afterwards titled Arkanoid R 2000.

The gameplay remains similar to Arkanoid: Doh it Again, the previous game in the series, in that it features the same powerups (with the addition of the brown "G" Giga Ball), some re-used level designs, and the same board size.

A code can be entered before starting the game to begin a new set of 50 levels starting from Level 51, ending with a confrontation with Doh.

Arkanoid R 2000 continues onto Round 51 immediately from Round 50, invalidating the need for a code entry, and includes an extra campaign with 100 new levels, several new block types, a rainbow power up (later known as "V" Vanish), and a new worm boss.
