From an old magic book, Inside the Magical Drop is a wonderful magical land. The mysterious Magical Drop will give you anything you wish. This year, many competitors are going to a great Magical Drop Meet to win the Drop. Who will win? Let's start the fight!

Magical Drop III is the third installment of the Magical Drop series. The basic rules of the game haven’t changed but with adjustments and additions to the system from Magical Drop II, this version is much more lively and chain-based than its predecessor. Along with the addition of the Magical Journey mode and new characters, there are now more ways to enjoy the action. Control a clown to pull in and throw back balloons hurled from the top of the screen. If you line up three or more balloons of the same color in a row vertically they will burst, but if you’re not quick enough the balloons will squash the clown and it’s game over. Once you’ve caught the hang of bursting balloons, next you need to master combos and chains.

The game adds a new mode, Magical Journey (Adventure), replacing Flash Mode (was only available in Japanese releases) from Magical Drop II. The player chooses a character and participates in a board game. Magical Drop III also has a Challenge Mode (VS CPU), VS Mode for 2 players and Puzzle Mode.

Magical Drop III introduces a number of new characters. There are now representatives for all 22 Major Arcana and one extra character. As a console port, the game also features an extra unlockable character, exclusively playable for console versions only, making the total of 24 selectable characters.

Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou! is the first PlayStation port made of Magical Drop III and was released only in Japan. This version features a mode that attempts to play similar to the arcade version alongside the Saturn's "special" rebalanced mode. The "arcade" version is referred to as simply Magical Drop III, while the special version is named Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou!. Despite the "arcade" version visually mimicking the Neo Geo version, there are several gameplay and graphical quirks that suggest that it is an adjusted version of the "special" mode rather than a direct port. The choice between Arcade and Special mode is given to the player immediately upon booting the game, and the system must be reset to switch.
