Spinmaster, known in Japan as Miracle Adventure, is an arcade game developed and released by Data East in 1993. It is the first game Data East developed and released for the SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware. Its character designs are almost identical to the ones in Data East's Sega Genesis game titled Dashin' Desperadoes; however, the gameplay of both games is completely different.

Protagonists Johnny and Tom use yo-yos to hit enemies and treasure chests that contain weapons like throwing stars, icicle daggers and guided missiles. Other moves that can be performed are sliding tackles and a special extreme attack that defeats every minor enemy on-screen and seriously damages bosses. Two players can play simultaneously.
