Moero TwinBee: Cinnamon-hakase o Sukue! (Japanese: もえろツインビー シナモン博士を救え! Hepburn: Moero Tsuin Bī: Shinamon-hakase o Sukue!?, lit. "Burn TwinBee: To the Rescue of Dr. Cinnamon!") is a vertical/side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game released by Konami for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan in 1986. It was later re-released as a standard Famicom cartridge in 1993. Moero TwinBee was the second game in the TwinBee series, as well as the first of two TwinBee sequels released for the Famicom, followed by TwinBee 3: Poko Poko Daimaō in 1989.
A North American version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1987 titled Stinger, making it one of the few games in the series to have an overseas release.
Moero TwinBee can be played by up to three player simultaneously: the first two players control TwinBee and WinBee (the ships from the previous game) using the standard Famicom controllers, whereas the third player controls GwinBee (a green ship) by connecting an additional controller into the console's expansion port. Unlike the original TwinBee, which only featured vertical-scrolling stages, Stinger adds side-scrolling stages to the mix as well. There are seven stages in the game. Stage 1, 3, and 7 are side-scrolling stages, while the rest are vertical-scrolling stages. The controls remain the same between the two styles of gameplay, with the only difference being that in the side-scrolling segments, the A button shoots hearts over the ship instead of dropping bombs into the ground like the vertical-scrolling segments, which helps the player keep the power-up bells afloat in the side-scrolling stages.
