How it plays
Players guide Johnny or Joe through side-scrolling stages viewed from the side. The objective is to reach the end of each area, defeat enemies, collect useful items, and overcome a boss or other major obstacle.
The characters can jump across platforms and attack at close range. Weapons and power-ups found during the stages change the available attack. The game supports one or two players, and continuing through the arcade credit system is the primary form of progression.
Plan your run
Learn enemy attack patterns before advancing, especially near platform edges and narrow passages. Avoid rushing into groups, because contact damage can quickly consume a life.
Use collected weapons while they are safe to deploy, but do not take unnecessary risks to preserve them. In two-player games, spread out when possible so both characters can attack without blocking each other.

Spin Master is a 1993 arcade action platformer developed and published by Data East. Known as Miracle Adventure in Japan, it follows treasure hunters Johnny and Joe as they travel through dangerous locations in search of a legendary fortune. The game combines side-scrolling platforming with close-range combat, collectible weapons, and cooperative two-player play. Its bright presentation, responsive controls, and energetic stages made it a recognizable Data East arcade release, although it received less lasting attention than the company's larger franchises. The adventure is designed for short arcade sessions, with escalating enemies, environmental hazards, and boss encounters providing its main challenge.
