Ristar

Yes, it's pretty good.
The only part I dislike is the memory puzzle.

Way better than sonic, he should have been sega's mascot.

>>3419760
I agree, but the Sonic universe has more characters while Ristar would have to be expanded.

OP here
I came expecting a Sonic carbon copy, and it´s not only far better than it (IMO) but surprisingly good. I find the arm mechanics pretty unique. Perhaps the only thing I don´t understand is why you can grab the common enemies? It makes sense with bigger ones, that can serve as a transport, but the common guys? I expected some kind of interaction, a lá Wario.
Anyways the game is fucking fantastic

>>3419728
this a high quality rip. did they use authentic hardware?

Love how people see Ristar only as a tool for bashing Sonic games.

>>3419760
Ristar doesn't have the edge Sonic does. He should've been the Kirby of Sega

>>3419987
>He should've been the Kirby of Sega
This is so logic to a point of question...how the fuck Sega managed to NOT do that?

>>3420000
Little to no advertising to support the game's launch. They must've not cared for the IP

If you didn't play the Japanese version, your experience was slightly inferior to what it could have been.

>>3420042
You're blowing it out of proportions with the slight differences the Japanese version has. The intro and ending are better though in the Japanese version

>>3420101
To be fair, he literally said "slightly inferior."

I've yet to play it, so I can't comment one way or the other.

It's so insignificant the word 'slightly' shouldn't be used.

It's okay anon.

I love the music for entering a new galaxy.

>>3419760
Didn't Ristar come out at the end of the MD's life?
I don't think I ever saw it in the shops. I've only played it via rom (and even then only once) I'll give it another crack.

>>3420220
The whole sequence between levels used to really mind blow me as a kid. It was among the few "cutscenes" you would see on those old games

Call me boring, but I never saw what was so cool about the game. No, sure, the arms mechanic is interesting at first, but the first level was very boring so I never played the game.

>>3420879
If you get past the first level it's a decent game

Is it wrong if this game reminds me of Mischief Makers

I first saw an ad for it at a friend's place. Can't remember if it was a cereal box or a magazine. Didn't get to play it until I got emulators. Its pretty good, while Sonic focuses more on the feet, Ristar focuses more on the hands. Its a very hands-on kind of action.

>>3419760
So should your mom

>>3420879
>>3421106 is right. The first level is basically just a tutorial. The game begins to get hardcore and puzzle-ish by the lava world.

>>3421874
Lava world and music world is where shit gets tough

Ristar imo have the perfect underwater level.
Swimming is really fast and responsive. Actually, you're faster underwater than walking.

Ristar didn't fit Sega's hip, badass image at the time, so he died an unjust death.

>>3421903
He fit. At least in the US version

>>3421907
Nah, he still had that goofy, kiddy voice even in the Americunt version.

"PRAY WIF ME? :)"

This is the flinstones theme. You can't fool me.

I'm so confused...

Not really, the Japanese version only really has a different intro where a generic goddess creates Ristar to save the galaxy (same as in the Gamegear version) as opposed to the American version where you feel motivation because the villain has captured your father and you set out on a quest to rescue him.

Also the ending of the Japanese version shows that the main villain survived and we get a sequel hook that was never fulfilled. The American version outright has him get murdered.

This 2bh
The "save your dad" story in the US/EU version feels odd and we don't get to see Kaiser Greedy surviving in the end(which makes us fanboys dream of a sequel) and that sucks

Why the hell did they omit "the shooting star" from the title for the International Versions?

I always thought that kind of sucked
"Ristar the Shooting Star" sounds better than "Ristar"

>>3421903
No
Nights wasn't anymore badass then Ristar and was far weirder
If anything Ristar had Kaiser Greedy

The game simply didn't sell that much because they didn't advertise it enough and it came out at the end of the MD's lifespan

It's just one of those awesome games that for whatever reason didn't get any sequel like Sunset Riders or Kid Chameleon or Comix Zone
