Why is Ristar so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome?

[dżentelmen]

I remember when I found this game on Steam. I had heard about it before and that it probably had some connection with Sonic at the conceptual stage or something, so I bought it. And this was the first time since I played Sonic Mania when a game captivated me so much. I can't belive how good this is. Movement is good, long arm mechanic is really awesome, level design is really nice, music is outstanding, colour palletes for this levels and levels itself are outstanding and music just slaps. Why everyone talks about Mario World instead of this masterpiece?

Because it was made by Sonic Team ? Also the gameplay is based on the original idea for Sonic when they where supposed to be a rabbit, I think.

As for people talking about Mario World instead. Probably because of every Mario game before Mario World, therefore more fans ?

Or the fact that Mario World is still probably better regardless of that.

Nintendo fans are ignorant that's why. Ristar is a classic game.

One must actually play it to realize it has Sonic written all over it, and probably not many people did that.
I still have my physical copy

Ristar is quite valuable online, especially with the manual. Not that I'm saying you'd sell it though.

At first I used to find Ristar too slow for a game made by the same behind Sonic but then it's more about action than speed.

I also find that there were some stuff we'd find back in Nights into Dreams.
