Madou Monogatari A•R•S is a prequel to Madou Monogatari 123 to explain how Arle Nadja obtained her powers, how Schezo Wegey became a dark wizard, and how Rulue fell in love with Satan. The game retains its first-person dungeon crawler gameplay, featuring one character's story per disk.

Arle's Story

Four-year old Arle Nadja goes into a forest near her grandmother's house but becomes lost getting distracted by Carbuncle. Along the way, she is granted powers from magic forest fairies, who teach her multiple spells. In the original version, Owlbear is the final boss who you run into constantly.

This was the only part of the game to be remade and ported onto the Sega Game Gear (known as Madou Monogatari A: Doki Doki Vacation), but massive changes were made. Notably, the story here is that Arle, during her summer vacation, is visiting her grandmother and exploring the forest surrounding her house. Arle soon catches wind of a construction company headed by Satan attempting to raze the forest to make room for a recreational area. In order to protect the forest, Arle sets off to take on Satan's crew. Skeleton-T, Sasori Man, and Suketoudara make a cameo in the intro as some of Satan's construction staff, chasing Arle into the forest and beginning the game.

Rulue's Story

Sixteen-year old Rulue wakes up and finds herself in an unfamiliar castle. According to the butler of the castle, she was kidnapped by Count. After knocking the butler out, Rulue makes her way through the castle with her fighting skills, and finds herself able to use a strange power that changes her into a child, allowing her to enter certain areas.

Finally she meets Satan, who says that Carbuncle was taken away by Count, the vampire lord. Once Rulue finds Count and defeats him, Satan reunites with Carbuncle and thanks Rulue greatly. Being smitten with Satan, Rulue hopes to meet Satan again… while Count is stepped on constantly.

Schezo's Story

Fourteen-year old Schezo Wegey is on a school trip, but gets distracted when he thinks he hears someone calling for him. After staring into a mirror, he gets pulled in and learns to use dark magic. On his way, he finds and defeats the Sword of Darkness, who allows Schezo to wield him upon defeat.

Near the end, Schezo encounters Runelord, an effeminate man who is highly impressed by Schezo's powers and wants to see them in battle. Once the battle is over, Runelord vanishes and Schezo is transported back outside the mirror, where he sees his future in becoming a dark wizard before being scolded and dragged away by his teacher.
