History YMMV / Twinbee

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Pastel and Winbee, ordinarily the second player, have proven much more popular than Light and Twinbee (the first player); the duo appearing as playable racers in ''VideoGame/KonamiKrazyRacers''.

* ThatOneBoss: Almost all of the bosses in "Rainbow Bell Adventures" can be very difficult due to their [[DamageSpongeBoss large health bars]], but Delnbee is probably the absolute worst. Since this boss is constantly moving, it can be very difficult to take the time to slowly charge up a fireball. The only other move that takes out a large chunk of his health is the dash, which you'll have to aim near perfectly or else you'll run into him right when you become vulnerable again and lose a heart. Oh, and every time you deal damage to Delnbee, he starts throwing mechanical parts around that are very hard to avoid.
* WidgetSeries: You get the hint very early on, as you punch windmills and shoot at flying strawberries.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: As Konami made more sequels of ''[=TwinBeen=]'', the newer games' difficulty dropped partly because they got a more robust array of bonus items, special abilities, game balance tweaks, and anti-frustration features. For example, the MSX version of the first game had a black bell [[PoisonMushroom power-down]] that kills your ship upon contact. In future installments like ''Detana!! [=TwinBee=]'', the black bell decreases the ship's speed by one level instead.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Like in the case of ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'', the first Famicom [=TwinBee=] game is what most people not from the U.S. think of when they hear about the franchise even though it's an arcade port. For the U.S. where it's more popular, it's instead ''Stinger'' that most Americans remember.

** The ''Fanfic/TokimekiPokeLiveAndTwinbee'' counterpart of Pastel has Cerise as her surname. A few years after ''PokéLive!''Pastel's debut, in 2020, A Professor from Vermilion City in ''[[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Pokémon Journeys:The Series]]'' shares the same surname as that version of Pastel.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The anime is perhaps best known for the beauty pageant scene, where Dr. Mardock accidentally enlarges some of the contestants.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:

* NightmareFuel:

** Light's voice actor is Creator/KappeiYamaguchi. Fast forward to 2006, and the same Creator/KappeiYamaguchi ends up voicing [[Manga/{{DeathNote}} L]], who is against an evil guy named Light.

* SequelDisplacement: ''Detana!! Twinbee'' pretty much established the tone of the rest of the series thanks to the contribution of anime character designer Shuzilow [=HA=], who was heavily involved in the game's story and characters.

Since this boss is constantly moving, it can be very difficult to take the time to slowly charge up a fireball. Since the only other move that takes out a large chunk of his health is the dash, you have to aim your dash near perfectly or else you'll slide into him once you finish dashing. Oh, and every time you deal damage to Delnbee, he starts throwing mechanical parts around that can be incredibly difficult to avoid.

List of ''{{Twinbee}}'' YMMV entries:

* SceneryPorn: The first three games did have little dull scrolling backgrounds, but starting from ''Detana!! Twinbee'', the lands or the skies you fly over are extremely detailed and beatiful, constantly changing as you go on.
** The first level of ''Detana!! Twinbee'' really feels like flying over a small, but very wonderful land. You start flying above the forest, and then arrive into a small town: soon you're flying in mountain scapes which have train tracks on them, then you arrive into a large construction site... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Ce7ntAmy4 Just see it for yourself.]]
** ''Twinbee Yahhoo!'', being the pinnacle of the series and thus having the best backgrounds of the series, mixes this with awesome motional parallax scrolling and voice acting, giving out the feeling that of an 90's action anime episodes. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUt9GSQs0JE A memorable moment is when Twinbee makes a somersault in the air at the first stage, background changing like if you were on the cockpit.(See at 2:54)]] It gets much better at the third stage.
