The player takes control of a character named Matt. The game is set in the future and the world is primarily surrounded by water. There is a small patch of land called Terra. Terra is the only land.
The player must prove their worth to be accepted on to Terra. They do this by proving their skill as a submarine commander and destroying enemy vessels.
Matt’s version features different characters, items and boats to Becky’s version.
The battles take place against other ships. A radar view is used to help you guide torpedoes against the enemy. A large part of the game is text-based, with animated cutscenes.
Two players can link up their consoles with a link cable to battle and exchange ships.
Play the game
A stack of random colored bubbles descend from the top, and a player is defeated when a bubble hits the bottom. Bubbles can be picked up and dropped by the player’s clown at the bottom, and are destroyed when three or more of the same color are put together on a single column.
Chains are formed either when a single drop caused a chain reaction, or when more than one group of bubbles is destroyed in quick succession. The game is normally played with two players, and chains cause the opponent’s stack to descend faster.
There are 24 characters, all but the Black Pierrot being named after a tarot card. Different characters have different attack patterns.
The columns of the opponent’s stack will descend at different rates relative to each other depending on the character chosen.
This causes a disjunction of colors that may make it more difficult for the other player to clear their stack. For example, with the character Devil, all the columns will descend at the same rate, whereas with Sun, the middle columns will descend faster than the others.

Some gameplay
The goal of Delta Warp is to gather all the ‘Delta Power units’ as quickly as possible.
You navigate your ‘Delta’ around the stage, changing its colour between white and black to match the colour of the Delta Power unit. Moving across the stage with the joystick will cause the Delta’s colour to alternate with each space.
You can press the A or B buttons to rotate the player-unit around the diamond patterns that make up the stage without the colour changing.
In addition to the game’s one hundred stages, there is also a level editor which allows you to create your own stages and trade them with others.
A two-player mode is also available by using the link cable.
