childhood memories. I remember, One day i was very sick, was a 10 year old kid. stayed home from school. I played this game while also enjoying a cheese melt sandwich. reached that Snow level. it was awesome.
Ristar had the greatest clear round music and cutscene in the history of gaming. It really felt damn great, after defeating a surreal boss to fly high across the universe onto that sweet melody... Thank you Sega.
It is! I just played it for the 1st time around 2 years ago (summer, 2021) probably around the time you wrote this comment! I came back to this video cause I'm playing it again and having trouble on the fire level. lol
Ristar is one of the best games created for the Megadrive/Genesis 16 bit era. The Gfx, music, art and gameplay are top notch. One of those underrated gems indeed.
this message goes to all you ristar fans out there in this version I honestly believe that it's ultimately heartwarming to see ristar reunite with his father
I mean, sega's always had a good awareness of character and background differenciation. Back when games like this were made, they kinda didn't get that you needed to make everything stand out in its own way so you dont blend everything together. This game does well because everything shines. Well done
Ristar in my opinion is very similar to Dynamite Headdy, belive it or not. Both are yellow, both games features voice samples, both games have great graphics and beautiful music, both characters attack by headbutting, both games got localized in the International version and both games belongs in the category of "best Genesis games".
the valdi system (the official name for ristar's galaxy as seen in the Japan version) must have been impressive to accomplish back then (for the credits)
One of the best Platformers ever created. Beloved game... I have the game cartridge and still playing! Unfortunately on my emulator... :( My Mega Drive has lost its power source... :(
Well if you have another mega drive/genesis also play on a crt. Makes some levels background like freon blend together like a proper sunset. It looks really nice.
I'm just in loe with all those intricate animations Ristar has (when destroys a tree log or skids on ice uncontrollably). That was the late genesis game and damn they trully did their best xD
Jackson It was discontinued around that time but we still got some major releases in 1996 like Sonic 3D, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Vector Man 2 so it was still possible had they started development straight after this one.
I searched for a full playthrough of this game since I remember being very fond of it but never got to finish it. Now I realize that kid me never even got pass the 1st stage 😂 it's nice to finally see the rest of this game from my childhood
Yeah, really. The game was also programmed to do software mixing on the DAC channel which only a few Genesis games ever did. Basically that means playing multiple drum sounds at once allowing for more complex percussion.

You guys who has ever played when your childhood..if u remember planet Sonata give your new experience for video game history..till now i cant forget music behind planet sonataa of ristar
i remember playing this on the psp with the genesis classics .And i played this game more than the sonic game ,and i remember i used to have big trouble on water levels .Sadly my genisis disk for my psp is now badly scratched ;(
I used to have SONIC ultimate genesis collection and i played this and never beaten it and when i got the mobile ver. I managed to beat the game and i never felt anymore happier😎😎😎😎😎😎
That "Hit It!" sound effect I hear during the memory game: that was also heard in "Streets of Rage 2" whenever any enemy showed up to throw bombs at you.
ClassicTVMan1981X it’s “hit it!” And it was also used in sonic cd stardust speedway bad future (jp) sonic CD and ristar were both composed by naofumi hataya and masafumi ogata
Still have this game. Would love to see someone play a Super Hard Difficulty Run of this game. >Start with 0 Lives. >No Checkpoints so if you die, You start at the VERY BEGINNING OF THE LEVEL. >Infinite Continues. (Kind of like playing "Unfair Ristar") Also, It's not very useful, But here are some Passwords to write down: Super = Unlocks Super Hard Mode Difficulty (Warning: No Extra Lives and Treasures are harder to find. Plus, You die if you get hit once because you start with one Star. It's like this for both Stages and Bosses but you get infinite continues) Mogeru = Unlocks the Onchi Mode in Sound Test. (Well. If you have to know, Onchi is portrayed as Sour Music. It's the "Leave My Ears Alone" Kind of music.) Iloveu =Round Select. You can select any Round 1, Round 2 or Boss Stage you want. Unfortunately, Those are all the passwords I remember. I'll edit it if I remember the Bonus Rounds Password.

Even me i remember me playing sega games all the time especially when I faked being sick i finished the whol game
@@naaziashaik5758 Good for you because I haven't.
I could only reach the fire planet part, I hate that fucking bird...
I remember when i was like 5 or 6 and i played ristar. I always died on that damn fire level tho. Ugh screw that level

Ristar had the greatest clear round music and cutscene in the history of gaming. It really felt damn great, after defeating a surreal boss to fly high across the universe onto that sweet melody... Thank you Sega.
Definitely the most underrated Mega Drive Platformer, still love it to this day !!
Why ? I really like it !
Yea, stupid peoples. Awesome game. Hard work, good soundtracks.
Genisis game?
Underrated eh? Complete copy of this game is like 200 bucks 😂
Fux News I play Quackshot more than Ristar 😂👍🏻
ristar is an awesome masterpiece imo and an underrated gem on the 16-bit era
Fabricio Vega !?
I agree. Ristar deserves a sequel!
Arquimedes Gasparotto Junior what!?
Overrated*
I feel like this game is finally getting the attention that it deserves and I love it
Great news: It's included in the Sega Genesis Mini 2!
It is! I just played it for the 1st time around 2 years ago (summer, 2021) probably around the time you wrote this comment! I came back to this video cause I'm playing it again and having trouble on the fire level. lol

you are so right about that brother
@@classicsonic3504 thank you brother
In the Japanese version, Ristar has a mom who happened to be a goddess.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Ristar comes from good stock, then. One parent is a deity, the other a legendary hero!
This game is a underrated masterpiece seriously the game really needed a sequel.
Maybe, Sega will be remaking the first Ristar game to boost up Ristar's popularity before working on the sequel.
Someone said that the night sections of Sonic Unleashed was just 3D Ristar, and boy, were they right on the nose.
Stay after the credits, you'll get something cute ;)
That was super cute 😍
:0
Let's pray that it is one of the franchises that SEGA brings back :''c
I remember getting this brand new for my birthday as a kid. Great memories, the soundtrack alone brings a nostalgic tear to my eye.
I mean, sega's always had a good awareness of character and background differenciation. Back when games like this were made, they kinda didn't get that you needed to make everything stand out in its own way so you dont blend everything together.

It’s in Sega forever baby
@@RubyTerrarian It's in both Sega Genesis and Sega Forever
If forced to choose I would pick Ristar as my all time favorite Sega Genesis game.
really?? -_-

all time best ever tho........ : / ?
I'm not saying it's the best game ever. Just saying it's my favorite.

alright, respected just asking
One day ristar you will be recognized and brought back from the depths
I hope
Ristar in my opinion is very similar to Dynamite Headdy, belive it or not. Both are yellow, both games features voice samples, both games have great graphics and beautiful music, both characters attack by headbutting, both games got localized in the International version and both games belongs in the category of "best Genesis games".
Yeah, maybe that's why both games are two of my favorite games of all times
Yes, dynamite headdy and ristar are my favorite sega games :D
We need more Ristar games, this masterpiece deserves a cool new game
The music when you finish a level is so damn good.

1:14:55 Never saw again such a badass entrance into a stage

One of the best Platformers ever created. Beloved game... I have the game cartridge and still playing! Unfortunately on my emulator... :( My Mega Drive has lost its power source... :(
Well if you have another mega drive/genesis also play on a crt. Makes some levels background like freon blend together like a proper sunset. It looks really nice.
sadly electronics age and die like we do
The Mega Drive was a beast for it's age it was only 3 years newer than the Master System but graphics are miles better.
One of the best Sega Mega drive / Genesis games and I love it
I'm just in loe with all those intricate animations Ristar has (when destroys a tree log or skids on ice uncontrollably). That was the late genesis game and damn they trully did their best xD
The way Ristar murders his enemies is actually quite brutal
One of the best Genesis/MD games, just awesome!
Oh, i remember Ristar! I loved this game so much)
Thank you!
This game and Dynamite Headdy are underrated. Sega should not focus only in doing Sonic games.
Yeah, I've had enough with the Sonic games! It's literally time to move on!
I can't believe Sega didn't include this in the Sega Genesis Mini
The ATgames version does have Ristar though.
@@fortunequestventures (chuckles) I'm in danger
Now it's in the second Genesis Mini.
I remember when I beat the game.😊
OMG Ristar is so CUTE! ^•^
He might be able to rival kirby
game from my childhood, I got a little emotional
Yes
this game was so fun when i was a kid! omg this brings back memories and at the same time makes me feel old asf!
Man this game is fucking awesome
Sega's answer to Kirby, and also Klonoa: DtP before Klonoa: DtP.
>sprite rotation on some obstacles
10/10 best game of the year
Love this game. I didn't passed 100% but the game was fun!
Hot Take- Ristar is a better game than most of the classic Sonics
Hell yeah say that a little louder for the people in the back
YEAH 👍
When I was a kid I thought the bosses in this game were so badass. Especially the hammerhead and the mole
Yeah you're right 😎
i dont ever remember getting past this level when i was young in the 90's
Which one?
I always got so excited playing this game, especially Freon for that music :) childhood memories~
I LOVED this game I miss it so so much I wish I still had my geniuses.
Genesis*
*Genisis*
Hey, ristar is available on appstore now :D
this game is a legend......thanks 4 playing....
I adore this game.
I love this game so much
Ristar could have gotten a sequel on the Game Boy Advance in 2004.
rescuehero942 really?
Out of all things, GBA? Ew
rescuehero942 No Sega Saturn would have been perfect due to its 2D power or hell even a sequel on Mega Drive in 1996.
I'm sure the Genesis was discontinued around that time, so that wouldn't have been a possibility.
Jackson It was discontinued around that time but we still got some major releases in 1996 like Sonic 3D, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Vector Man 2 so it was still possible had they started development straight after this one.
Ristar is cool and other Sega real cartridges are cool!
Who here is replaying this on the Switch?
I played it on switch, steam, and xbox 360
And mobile too
The music in this game is just amazing especially boss fight music
Ristar is awesome!! :D
Man I’ve loved this game for years!
Forever in my heart
12 years since I played this game as a kid... One thing is I remember after all I went through is the music and how I was stuck on a lvl. Planet 3
agreed
Aggreed
Don't mess with the star kiddo.
I played his game and it was awesome
I searched for a full playthrough of this game since I remember being very fond of it but never got to finish it. Now I realize that kid me never even got pass the 1st stage 😂 it's nice to finally see the rest of this game from my childhood

I knew and played this game before D-Sides but this game is amazing
The way Ristar came back saying, "DAD" is heart warming

Dude, you can see in the creatures eyes , what a Evil main character means.... Killing with a freaking head bump death hug... lol
This made my day!!!
im at planet scorch and it's HARD!!
Yup. It's a pain in the ass. Especially the boss of Round 1.

Agreed. Undertow is also somewhat tricky, but Scorch is where Ristar starts to get super difficult.
I agree. At one point, I had to mark on the screen to beat it.

This Brings Me Good Memories
Rystar and Rayman would have been the next Mario and Sonic or Crash and Spyro
Agreed. If Ristar, Vectorman & Rayman weren’t kept in the dark, of course. They’re left as forgotten gems, unsung heroes as it were.

What a gem this was. I only rented this game. I never owned it lol so i don't remember much

This and dynamite heady are so underrated

OMG....i remember this game when i was 13 years old
That "Hit It!" sound effect I hear during the memory game: that was also heard in "Streets of Rage 2" whenever any enemy showed up to throw bombs at you.
I think Yuzo Koshiro had some involvement during development.
ClassicTVMan1981X it’s “hit it!” And it was also used in sonic cd stardust speedway bad future (jp) sonic CD and ristar were both composed by naofumi hataya and masafumi ogata
