Gameplay
The gameplay remains similar to '' Arkanoid: Doh it Again'', the previous game in the series, in that it features the same powerups (with the addition of the brown "G" Giga Ball), some re-used level designs, and the same board size. The initial arcade game contains only 50 levels, the environment changing every 9 levels. A code can be entered before starting the game to begin a new set of 50 levels starting from Level 51, ending with a confrontation with Doh. ''Arkanoid R 2000'' continues onto Round 51 immediately from Round 50, invalidating the need for a code entry, and includes an extra campaign with 100 new levels, several new block types, a rainbow power up (later known as "V" Vanish), and a new worm boss. This release also contained a level editor.Reception
In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Arkanoid Returns'' as being the fifth most popular arcade game of May 1997.Notes
