About Magical Spot
Mothra launches relentless attacks of scorpion-like creatures that require two hits each to destroy. Players must shoot falling larvae and grubs to prevent them from spinning cocoons; if seven cocoons hatch, they transform into swarming Ultramoths. Clearing all bugs on the screen increases your rank in this single-screen shooter for up to two players.

Open Play on this page to start Magical Spot. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
