  • Rouge

  • WangTang

  • Ryoma

=Gameplay=
Gameplay involves selecting a character and then proceeding to battle the other characters, one at a time, in various locales. The fighting was truly three dimensional and included the ability to use special attacks as well as pick up and fight with things like tables, chairs, rocks, bombs and other objects. During battle, "Power Stones", resembling gems of different colours, would appear in the arena. If a character collected three Power Stones, they would transform into a more powerful version of themselves. They would then be able to use one of two super special attacks. One was generally a massive long-range power attack and the other was a grab or close-range move. The powered-up mode would only last until the power bar was fully drained, during which you could execute the special attack (which would completely deplete the power bar) or launch some form of projectile (which only used a little bit of power). Each match continues until the Life Bar of one of the two characters fighting is depleted.

=Power Stone 2=
A Sequel was created in 2000 called '' Power Stone 2 '', which featured the original cast (minus the hidden characters Kraken and Valgas) as well as several new characters:
  • Accel

  • Gourmand

  • Julia

  • Pete

  • Mel

  • Pride


The sequel features the same style of 3-D combat but now allows up to four players to play simultaneously. There are new maps, some of which contain multiple areas and moving sections. The sequel also features an entirely new arsenal of weapons, from futuristic handguns to gigantic mallets, and magic wands to vehicles. Players can collect these items in a special "Adventure" mode; they can then be traded at a special "Item Shop", or combined together to form new items.
