Sanrin San Chan (also known in the West as Spatter) is a 1984 arcade maze chase game developed by Sega. In this unique take on the genre, players control a child riding a tricycle through large scrolling courses, dodging enemies in go-karts and other vehicles while attempting to collect bouquets of flowers scattered around each stage.
How to Play
The objective is to gather all eight bouquets in a level to advance, using the directional controls to navigate the maze. The game’s defining feature is its guardrail mechanic: by pressing the action button, your character can jump into the fences lining the path. This bends the rails outward, allowing you to defensively dodge out of harm’s way or offensively knock approaching enemies off the screen.
Tips
- Use the guardrails aggressively. Bouncing into a fence just as an enemy drives past is the safest way to clear a path and earn extra points.
- Keep moving to avoid getting cornered in the larger, scrolling mazes, and always ensure you have a flexible fence nearby for a quick escape.
