Mr. Bones is a mixed genre video game consisting of platform, rhythm and minigame elements that was developed by Zono Inc. and Published by Sega for the Sega Saturn.  The very unique style game was conceptualized by Ed Annunziata, the creator of the Ecco The Dolphin series.  Annunziata created an eccentric and surreal experience by combining numerous gameplay styles with an offbeat storyline.

While Zono Inc. handled the core development of the game, the cutscenes and art assets were created by Angel Studios.  The cinematics were designed and directed by Allen Battino, who worked alongside Annunziata on Ecco: The Tides of Time for the Sega CD.  Battino also performed the role of Mr. Bones via motion capture.  Music was a key plot point in Annunziata’s storyline for the game and the soundtrack became an important element in the design of the game.   The soundtrack for the game was composed and performed by Ronnie Montrose, a famous American rock guitarist and is one of a handful of games of the era to receive a published soundtrack in North America.
