Alex Kidd in Miracle World (USA, Europe) (v1.1)

Alex Kidd in Miracle World platform overview

Alex Kidd in Miracle World was Sega's first major mascot platformer, debuting in 1986 with a version 1.1 release featuring crucial tweaks to its now-well-known difficulty. Pre-installed on most Master System II consoles, I still remember the surprise of popping in a cartridge and realizing a whole game was already inside the machine. Developed by Sega, it's a quirky side-scroller that sends you across 16 stages searching for your kidnapped brother.

  Forget reflex-based combat; some bosses can only be defeated by winning a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors, known as 'Janken' in Japan, forcing you to risk a coin for items or guess the correct shape.
• Multi-Stage Platforming & Vehicles
  Beyond standard hopping, you'll find yourself piloting the bubble-firing Pedicopter and racing a chopper-style motorcycle in auto-scrolling vehicle sections like 'Radaxian Castle.
• A Treasure-&-Time Loop
  You need to collect or purchase items with Zeni you earn, but you're constantly timed by a deathly hand called Moons, pushing you forward through precarious waters in Lake Fathom and other tricky stages.
