(28/30) Super Columns

This is from the Game Gear, which was the only system that had it.

Sequel to the classic 3-block column dropping game where you try to match 3 of the same block in any direction, with bonus points for combos.

In this game you can also rotate the columns into rows. There are other extras too like a special item that occasionally appears that gives you the ability to flip the stack upside-down. In addition to the endless and flash modes there's also a story mode.

The endless mode is just like the one in the original Game Gear Columns, where you can go for high scores in every difficulty setting and corresponding level.

Flash mode is where you try and clear the buried shiny blocks to win the stage and go on to the next.

Story mode is where you play the game competitively against characters that challenge you in an Arabian Nights-like setting. Clear many combos to force the ground in your opponent's play area to push up to the ceiling and close up. Win 3 matches against each character to move on to the next.

Of the two Columns games on the handheld, this is the best one to play on the small screen. The objects and play area in this version are much bigger and better to look at. Of course, both games are very pleasant to play on the big screen too.
