    A funny thing to note, the main villain of the first game is Junken, which in Japanese is the name of "Rock, Paper, Scissors". So in a weird way, it kind does make sense that he has to play it to beat some of the bosses. Plus the fact that Alex's main weapon in that game is his giant fist, is another play towards the good old "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game.

  • @robintst

    I remember watching my friend make it to Alex Kidd in SEGA Superstars Tennis. Alex wrecked his face in record time. It was beautiful. And from my own first impressions of playing All-Stars Racing Transformed, I noticed that Alex was one of the better balanced racers at his default setting so I used to him almost the entire time. Plus, I mean... he's the eternal underdog, ya gotta love him.
    Being an American gamer, I had little to no exposure to the Master System because it simply wasn't sold in many places and didn't get the coverage that the NES did so I discovered Alex on the Genesis first with Enchanted Castle and thought that game was alright. It wasn't until the 2000s that I finally bought myself a Master System and Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Through retrospect is how I gained a fondness for the character and what SEGA tried to do with him.
    Maybe there's no place for him in today's market but I'd like to think they could make something fun with him if the timing and development team were right for the project. Much like with the people behind the upcoming Sonic Mania, you need minds at work that are die-hard fans of the original material. It sounds kind of cheesy but along with a new character design for him, I've imagined more than once having promotional videos with a remix of Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" just to be able to sample the lyric "My name is Kid" into the moment of presenting Alex himself once again to the world. Heh.

    Good review, most of the Alex Kidd reviewers claim the rock paper scissors is random. People who played know as you said the answers are the same unless you lose. Like Fatal Labyrinth reviews, most say that the levels are randomly generated and you can get stuck on one with no way up. There is actually always a way to the stairs though finding it can be tedius and the levels aren't randomly generated, they are already made and it puts you on an aleady made map at random.

  • @leroyvisiongames2294

    So, why did they need an explanation in the storyline as to why his fist comically enlarges when he punches? A lot of cartoon characters use that effect to emphasize brute strength. They might as well explain why he flashes when he's invincible, or why he only has 3 frames of walking animation.

    great retrospective mate, but I do have an answer to you not thinking Sega should bring the kidd back.
    I believe Alex Kidd could have a new 2D HD Platforming game that uses Miracle World / Enchanted Castle as it's base style game, but.... many Power-Ups could be collected to take advantage of the 'Lost Stars' aspect. Think about it..... How many 'Lost Stars' of Sega exsisting IP's do they throw away now-a-days? plenty. Imagen, collecting a 'Shinobi' Power-up turns Alex into 'Shinobi Kid' or how he was in Shinobi World with all the special moves that were given in that game?.....
    Now how about Allowing Alex to obtain power ups of all these old Sega IP's by giving him new power-up special moves that play like said game?.... it'll be a massive Alex Kidd and other Sega IP Cameos comeback all in one.
    Power-ups:-
    Ristar
    Clockwork Knight
    Astal
    just to name a few.

    Fun fact: a lot of Alex Kidd's creative decisions from his first game make sense in light of his inspiration, Goku from the OG run of Dragon Ball. They're both tiny children who are trained martial artists, can shatter boulders and defeat most enemies with a single punch, can acquire the ability to fire destructive waves from their hands, and encorporate Jankenpo (Rock, Paper, Scissors) in their battles. He was even originally planned to attack with the Nyo-bo, Sun Wukong and Goku's weapon of choice.

    Dan, I literally don't think you can impressive me anymore. Your standard of commentary and visuals is just unbelievably stunning. I absolutely loved that, perfect to watch and chill out to. I am in love with Alex Kidd in Miracle World, it is one of my all time favourites and I've completed it numerous times. I also have The Lost Stars and I got so confused after the first 7 levels when it just seemed to start again, I just do not understand why it is 7 levels doubled.
    I've never played High Tech World, it's just never grabbed me. You can die through falling down a hole in a set of stairs or eating too many hot dogs? WOW total PMSL, and it doesn't surprise me it was based on a crappy game!
    I have played Alex Kidd: BMX Trial via emulation and actually have a gameplay vid of it on dancentral as part of my Master System Compendium series but as you say, because it uses a specific paddle controller not available in other territories, I found even the controls on my computer keyboard difficult to work out and configure. Fun game though but yeah it does go on a bit. Alex Kidd looking like Martin Freeman's kid, I literally burst out laughing!!!
    I love your comparisons between different versions of the same game as well. I do have Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle but my Mega Drive cart has never worked so I played it via emulation, it was ok but nowhere near what Miracle World did for me.
    The only other game I absolutely loved as well as Miracle World is Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, it's fantastic, totally agree with everything you say. Love the ninja style, turning into fireballs, so so cool. I also love the fact he shows up in another game as a cashier talking about his fall from grace when Sonic took over, that's awesome, and again, your observations on cameos and little anecdotes where Alex was seen or showed up are so impressive. Just a perfect tribute to Alex Kidd, it couldn't be any better and as the words 'The End' flashed up I sat there feeling pleased and thoroughly entertained, job well done dude! :D

    I won a master system II in a competition, and so played this a LOT since I didn't have any more games for a while. Definitely a great game to include in the system, but infuriatingly hard in places! I think I rage-quit and said I'd never play it again (I was about 8 or 9 at the time) but eventually got through with a guide

    The new Alex Kidd game for 2021 or so on consoles looks promising, with a retro mode included of the first game. Wish they released a Sega Master System Collection of Games like Sega does every console for the Genesis Collection Games.

    Absolutely fantastic video buddy. Great to watch :-) Alex Kidd in miracle world is one of my favourite games of all time. It's was actually built into some model one master systems and that's the one I had as a kid (you can see the console in some of my videos :-D)
    Ace stuff mate. Looking forward to more videos :-) All the best and have a great Christmas and New Year :-D

    How can you consider Miracle World and Enchanted Castle superior games to Shinobi World? Shinobi World had good level design, no cheap one-hit deaths, and no rock-paper-scissors boss battles.

    I loved how Sumo Digital treated Alex in Superstars Tennis, Racing, etc. They took that old mass of 8-bit pixels and brought Alex into 3D exactly how I would have imagined it. If Sega ever does decide to take a punt on a new Alex Kidd game, I reckon they should give Sumo the reins and let them have at it.

    • @slopesgameroom
      @slopesgameroom  8 років тому

      +Blast Processing I 100% agree but like I said I think that so many mechanics would need to change before it was up to standards for new age gaming. huge thanks for commenting mate

I first seen it on GameSacks vid on Alex and thats how i came to learning about YOU and your channel, but seriously, did Sega create that badguy as a joke or was it a product of the times?

    High Tech World was the first game I ever played on a Master System and loved it! I remember playing on my Genesis with the Master System converter and being blown away and by how hard it was for its time. I put many hours into the game before moving on to Altered Beast and the rest of the Genesis games. I still have fond memories of it. Yes, I eventually went to play the other games but wasn't as impressed as that one. Still a good franchise though.
