Trying to remember a retro game

[Elios]

Ok, i've been thinking/googleing this all day, and no luck. I've been trying to find this game that a friend of mine from elementary school owned. I just thought of it, and i'm trying to remember what it's called. I'll provide as many details as i can remember.

Basically, it was a lot like that game Beyblades, with the tops and whatever. However, from what i remember, these tops were smaller, like about the size of pogs, and they were made of some really heavy metal. You would put these tops in this little handheld winder upper thing, click the button, and these tops start spinning around in this little plastic arena, shooting sparks everywhere.

The last time i saw this thing was like, 10 years ago. So i'm guessing it was a mildly popular early / mid 90's toy. Any ideas?

Why do you need something so complex to your amusement? Go play pogs.

Because it's been bothering me all day. If i can at least find the name or picture of this game, it'll do. I just have to know...

Google pointed me to 'Spinja' and 'Battling Tops' but if you've really been at it all day then I dunno.

Hmm...close, but not it. The one specific thing i remember, was the tops were made of metal. Like, you could shatter a window with these things they were so heavy. Thanks though!
