Cool Spot is an action-platformer that was also released on the Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis in 1993.
+ Level design is exceptional with many unconventional themes / layouts, and the sprite animation is first-rate.
+ Plenty of lengthy stages available, and trying to collect all 100 Cool Points against the clock is endlessly compelling.
+ Being able to shoot through walls is hugely beneficial, and defeated foes don't respawn after you lose a life.
- Time limits can be harsh, and some of the more memorable levels (e.g. Loco Motive) have unfortunately been cut.
- Wading Around relies on leaps of faith due to confusing background layering and your inability to see upcoming platforms.
- There's no boss battles whatsoever, and the final three stages are disappointing rehashes of previous themes.
