How it plays
Each stage is viewed from the side and presents a multilevel building filled with platforms, ladders, valuables, and guards. The objective is to collect the required loot and reach the exit at the top or end of the building.
Players walk, climb, jump, and fire a short-range weapon that temporarily disables enemies. Guards patrol predictable routes, so timing and positioning are important. The game supports solo play and two-player cooperative play, with later stages increasing the challenge through denser layouts and more dangerous patrols.
Plan your run
Learn the patrol routes before rushing for valuables. Use the gun to create a safe opening rather than trying to fight every guard.
In two-player mode, keep the brothers near different routes when possible, but regroup before climbing into an area where a guard can block the only exit. Collect loot methodically and leave enough room to retreat.

Bonanza Bros. is a 1991 action-platform game developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It stars the masked brothers Mobo and Robo, who enter guarded buildings to steal valuables before reaching the exit. The game combines simple platforming with light stealth: players can avoid guards, stun them with a gun, and move through compact single-screen layouts. A two-player cooperative mode gives each brother a role on the same heist. Its bright cartoon presentation and straightforward rules made it approachable, while the limited length and repetitive structure received more modest historical attention than Sega’s larger arcade franchises. The Genesis version is an adaptation of Sega’s arcade game and preserves its emphasis on quick, replayable robberies.
