    I recently picked this game back up and finally beat it. It is now one of my favorite Genesis games. I cant believe the overlooked it back in the day when it came out. Some of the best music in a 16-bit game.

    The reason it was so good is because it was developed by Sonic Team who at the time was still in their prime. I may be wrong but I also believe it was intended to be a new Sonic game originally before becoming its own.

      nope, Ristar was just a re-designed of "Feel" the character, which it was one of the first designs for Sonic

      It's both first intended to be a Sonic game, then had different mechanics and used the "Feel" character, and finally becoming Ristar. So you're both right, eh?

      The original concept was by Sonic Team, but the game was developed by Sega CS R&D. After Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Team had moved on the develope Nights into Dreams.

      @@nightsong81 yep, I'm one of those people. Once my brain decided that "Rye-star" was how to pronounce it, I was incapable of seeing the pun potential. Sega should revive this character. And troll everyone about which way to pronounce his name, by making him eat rice.

      nobody who worked on this game has ever come forward with the proper pronunciation so until that day comes, either way of pronouncing it should be fine and nobody should be shat on just because its not the way you yourself personally say it ^_^

    Glad you played it too. Ristar is very under appreciated and deserves to be mentioned with the best 16-bit platformers. Just recently, Norm The Video Game Historian did a really nice piece on this game. Its worth checking out for sure. Lots of great info about its history and development.

    it's incredible how fondly remembered this game is especially considering how late it came out in the Genesis lifespan yet somehow they've never made any sequels of this game. did it possibly not sell while at first because of how late it came out and the Genesis lifespan but now is being fondly remembered years later? I don't know, but I would love to see another game in this franchise and not just have the character used as the guy who holds the checkered flag in the Sonic & All Stars racing games
