Ristar

Ristar is a late-era Genesis gem: gorgeous sprites, playful tone, and a grab-and-swing mechanic that makes it distinct from Mario and Sonic. Honesty time: the unique control language feels odd at first, but clicking with it is deeply satisfying. Verdict: one of the Genesis’s finest platformers.
