Madou Monogatari I, more often known as Madou Monogatari Genesis, is a game in the Madou Monogatari series. It is more or less, a remake of Madou Monogatari 1 for the Sega Mega Drive, enhanced to take advantage of its features over the old PC98 and MSX versions. As such, it tells the story of how a young Arle Nadja graduated Magical Kindergarten, featuring cameos from many other famous Madou Puyo characters. The biggest differences this version sports from the originals were the inclusions of Camus and Lala in the plot, as well as a cameo from Satan, who did not appear at all in the original. It also has a battle system that involves memorizing and entering a series of directions on the D-pad to cast spells; inputting these commands as quickly as possible to keep Arle attacking is key, even though several enemies can be manipulated into basically killing themselves and still reward you with items and experience points.

The music was remastered by Tsuyoshi Matsushima, who previously workd on Puyo Puyo TSU, and Polygon Junkie, the mysterious alias of a Compile employee whose real name may never be discovered. Most of the soundtrack consists of remixes from OPP, TSU and Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 itself, although there are a couple of tracks that may be exclusive to this version of the game.
