Deluxe Pack" is a compilation of two vertical-scrolling shooter games previously released in the "TwinBee" franchise by Konami : "Detana!! TwinBee" and "TwinBee Yahho!". In "Detana!!", players assume the role of Light and Pastel taking control of TwinBee and WinBee to defeat invading forces of the evil alien Iva and save planet Meru after receiving an SOS message sent by princess Melora. "Detana!!" follows the same conventions established in the original "TwinBee", however the controls use the Japanese configuration; one button is used to fire the gun at airborne enemies while the other is used to drop bombs to the ground. Power-up items consist of bells which can be uncovered by shooting the floating clouds, as well as  items uncovered by destroying land enemies. As with "TwinBee", players can shoot the floating bells to change between five different colors but two new color bells are introduced in "Detana!!" (purple and black). Both the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions of "Detana!!" lack support for vertical (TATE) display. In "Yahho!", players reassume the roles of Light and Pastel piloting TwinBee and WinBee to defeat the invading forces of Archduke Nonsense, who seeks the Harp of Happiness to conquer the world, and free the Land of Wonders island after receiving an SOS message by Flute, a fairy who serves Queen Melody . "Yahho!" differs from "Detana!!" in that the gameplay is much faster and players can adjust their playing style before starting the game to suit their preference. Players begin by choosing between three difficulty settings: Practice, Normal and Special. Players can also select between four different "charged shots" types and two control styles. The PlayStation and Saturn versions of "Yahho!" introduces additional voice acting. Development and release. "Detana TwinBee Yahho! Deluxe Pack" was developed by Konami. "Detana TwinBee Yahho!
