Baku Baku Animal (ばくばくアニマル) (known only as Baku Baku in some regions) is a puzzle game released for the Sega Titan Video arcade hardware. It is very similar to Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.

Baku Baku Animal was ported to the Sega Saturn and Windows PC in 1996. It was also one of the last titles released for the Sega Game Gear, released in the same year. In Brazil, Sega's distributor Tec Toy released a version for the Sega Master System in 1998, which is almost identical to the Game Gear version but with a reduced color palette and added borders. There was also a mobile phone release in 2002.
