Play Ristar Online

Ristar is a 2D platform game developed by the Sega Mega Drive for the Genesis/Mega Drive console system. Developed by a team led by Satoshi Mifune, Ristar was released in Japan in 1995, and then in North America and Europe months later.

In Ristar, the player takes control of an anthropomorphic star character of the same name who must save his home planet from the claws of longtime enemy Greedy. The player guides Ristar through seven different stages that take him across six planets and Roboterra's moon-like satellite. Along his journey, he learns the magnitude of Greedy's evil plans and helps equip him with various tools to help defeat the evil mastermind.

The objective of each stage involves navigating platforms, set pieces, enemies, and obstacles while avoiding death or running out of health to reach an exit portal located on the other end. Like most platformers in this era, there are two types of enemies present: stationary threats like spiked floors or other sharp objects as well as mobile foes such as mechanical weapon creations from Greedy’s army. Depending on what kind of enemy they get stuck with in any given stage, Ristar has access to unique moves which allows him to overtake almost any threat placed before him:- dash attacks allow Ristar to barrel past blocks or jump-hit overground enemies; grappling moves let him latch onto enemies adding extra thrust for more powerful jumps; clamping down on them trips them up for a few moments; using one of his luminescent ears adds a spiral launch that can navigate even tight corners safely; stomping grounds will immediately disable ground based opponents – these can be combined with wall crawling too!

The levels are all presented with vibrant colors depicting futuristic skyscraper cityscapes flying outside space stations whirling galaxies where starfish populate sandy beaches beneath serene oceans lined with glimmering coral reefs there’s even jungle-like settings filled with madcap fluffball creatures bouncing about… even if becoming fatigued at some point rest assured knowing it's possible enter little sub-stages through cute secret locations scattered here and there throughout each level featuring either valuable short-term power-ups or hidden bonus items often required to make progress further along!

Ristar himself can only dies after three hits have been inflicted upon him although multiple lives can be collected throughout playtime which could result in some interesting challenges should you run low - last but not least however boss encounters will abound aplenty challenging players strategically while keeping them entertained overall - if all else fails just stay focused efficient & ENJOY！
