UNDAKE30 Same Game Daisakusen (UNDAKE30 鮫亀大作戦, lit. UNDAKE 30 Shark-Turtle Battle) is a puzzle game serie which could be controlled with a standard joypad or the Super Famicom Mouse and was similar to the card game Monte Carlo. The game centers around a large playing field composed of a random arrangement of symbols : frog,bell, seven, blue ball, and cherry (original and UraGame version only) Mario Heads, Coins, Yoshi Eggs, Fire Flowers, and Super Mushrooms (Mario version only). If two or more icons are connected, the player can move the cursor and click to make all the connected icons disappear. Now the icons above fall down and the player can clear even more icons. Also, there is an undo move that allows the Player to take back the last move, and move back as far as wanted. Once the entire grid is clear, the game ends. The game series was developed by Hudson Soft.

This idea was later re-used in the minigame Pair-a-Gone from Super Mario 64 DS.
