The Irritating Maze/Ultra Denryu Iraira Bou was produced by SNK/Saurus in 1997. Maneuver yourself through colorful and difficult mazes within a time limit. Do not touch the walls!

The idea is simple: move through the mazes before time runs out. This is not as easy as it sounds, though. Except for Practice Mode, you cannot touch the walls. The maze is not stationary and moving obstacles such as windmills, moving walls, and even a railcar will try to block your every move. The maze is made even more Irritating by the air jets that will blast the player when they fail.

This is the first Neo Geo game that requires a trackball for player input. The game was based on a popular Japanese game show, called "Dengeki Iraira Bou", or "Electric Irritating Stick," where the point was to move a metal rod through a moving electrified maze for cash prizes. The MVS dedicated cabs added the addition of air jets that punished the player for their errors.
