The original "we have Mario at home". But seriously, though, Alex Kidd was extremely popular in Brazil among the kids in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays I don't think the new generations know him, but this game was and still is a blast.

I mean, Sonic doesn't own a motorcycle. So that's one win Alex has over him.

Fourteenth GOTW finished for 2024. Boy howdy, did I not enjoy this one. Some of the slipperiest platforming controls I've every played in a game, combined with some absolute cruel enemy placement and disorganized level design. Why would you include such finite platforming sections in a game where the protagonist literally cannot stop sliding!? Also the boss fights were rock-paper-scissors for some reason. Never again.

controls like shit, looks like shit, sounds like shit, and it has RNG fail scenarios that cause game overs? its a hit folks I only wanted to kill myself 80% of the time I played this its a surefire success!!

I really didn't like this game.
Music gets repetitive quickly.
The controls are some of the worst I've ever encountered. It feels like you're all the levels are ice levels. Momentum makes no sense. It's either too much or not enough.
There are rock-paper-scissors bosses, so unless you follow a guide, you'll lose just because of luck(luckily they always pick the same thing).
The level design at least is decent. But because of the horrible controls, I really can't enjoy it.
Only managed to play until the first castle, which I think is half of the game.
You're not missing anything by not playing this one.

Sucks to be you if you play this game.

On the plus side it has that SMS dreamlike Aesthethic and it reminds me of I Wanna Be The Fangame, which is a nice game you should play instead.
