The Princess (voiced by AV idol Ai Iijima) then sets out on a journey to retrieve the stolen gem, before it can be used for the Demon King's nefarious plans of world domination.

Its gameplay consists of platforming and exploration with a main six-button configuration, featuring special moves and techniques.

In the years after its release, Magical Pop'n become an expensive collector's item and one of the rarest Super Famicom titles.

The player takes control of the Princess, the main protagonist of the game, through six stages of varying themes set in the land of To'ahl.

[1] The stages are organized in a mazelike and non-linear fashion, which encourages exploration in order to find new items hidden in treasure chests.

At the same night, an army headed by the Demon King invades the kingdom and manages to steal the jewel, which holds a tremendous power that allows him to conquer the world with ease.

[6][7] Magical Pop'n was the second game to be developed by Polestar after Aurora Quest: Otaku no Seiza in Another World for the TurboGrafx-CD in 1993.

Shōtarō Hara served as a co-producer of the project along with Yasuhiro Wada, who would later go on to work on his next Super NES game, Harvest Moon, which was also released in the same year.

Reviewers compared it to the Monster World series and remarked it was a rather standard, ordinary, and old-fashioned style of game.

[16] The book Perfect Guide to Nostalgic Super Famicom, was rather critical of Ai Iijima's voice acting, calling it husky, monotone, and ill-suited for a moe type of character.
