Toy Pop is a Namco classic surrounding Pino and Acha as they face off against the witch Majyo in order to save their friends. They traverse various toy boxes in this multidirectional shooter to reach Majyo's lair where the witch was keeping their friends captive.


  • Big Bad: Majyo is an evil witch who kidnapped the friends of Pino and Acha who find themselves trying to save them.
  • Blue Is Heroic: Pino wears a blue vest, pants, and beanie while Acha is blue-haired with a blue vest and slippers. Both are determined to save their friends.
  • Braids of Action: Acha's artwork shows her with her long blue hair tied into twin braids and is determined to help Pino save their friends.
  • Clothing Damage: You lose a life after "two" hits rather than one. What happens, when your character ("Pino" for player 1; "Acha" for player 2) gets hit once, he or she gets reduced to their underwear. However, a "clothes" icon may randomly appear in one of the boxes that you shoot open, giving you back the "first hit" you took.
  • Evil Sorceror: Mahou is an evil wizard and one of the threats Pino and Acha face when saving their friends.
  • Opening Narration: Toy Pop's is one in Gratuitous English:note 
    "Pino and Acha are going to Majyo's castle to save friend."
  • Red Is Heroic: Pino wears a red shirt while Acha wears a red hat and skirt. Both are determined to save their friends.
  • Slipknot Ponytail: If Acha takes one hit, in addition to Clothing Damage, her hair gets loose from her braids.
  • Tank Goodness: One of the enemy types Pino and Acha fight consists of toy tanks.
  • Toy Time: The game is built entirely around this trope since it involves two dolls as the main duo whose levels are labelled "boxes" a like a toy box and have a long list of other toys as enemies.
  • Wicked Witch: Majyo is a witch who antagonized Pino and Acha thanks to her kidnapping their friends.
  • World of Technicolor Hair: Acha has blue hair as opposed to Pino who has normal color hair. Granted, Acha is a doll.
