Released: 1993
Mr. Gimmick is an action-platformer that was only released in Japan and Scandinavia.
+ Learning how to competently use your star attack to reach higher platforms adds a cool puzzle-like element.
+ Enemy A.I. is mind-blowing, as foes make a conscious effort to dodge your attacks and evade perilous death pits.
+ Music has the typical Sunsoft flair with some funky bass lines, while the graphics push the console to the absolute limit.
- Controls are slippery to an infuriating degree and it can take a while to avoid over-shooting your intended target.
- Star attacks are under-powered and never make you feel that you have a truly effective way of battling swarms of enemies.
- While there's unlimited continues, the game removes your magic items, meaning you can't unlock the final boss.
