As the title implies, it's a simplistic top down maze game with some decent visuals and music.

It's surprising no one talked about Maze Hunter, but I got it in the game about the person that removed their name and gave it a shot. It's not really 3D per se (that's still about 3-7 years out) but isometric, walking around to find keys to exit the maze. As you warp, you will be sent to a lower or higher part of the maze and have different sprites to adjust. There are enemies you can beat by either jumping on them or the safer method, whacking them with your stick. There are 20 mazes in all, with 5 themes that are like the others but with a different color tileset. Sometimes there's a red dot you can jump and hit with your stick to unleash a power-up that usually won't do a whole lot but it's a thing that exists.

I think no one's really talked about it before because honestly, there's really not a lot to say about this one. Like yep, it's a video game that exists. I didn't think it was awful or anything great, just a middle of the road game. Which is actually decent compared to some of the system's other offerings, but in the grand scheme of things, yeah Maze Hunter 3-D is a game that exists.
