Play Alex Kidd BMX Trial (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Alex Kidd BMX Trial is one of those weird, Japan-only Master System oddities that makes you wonder what Sega was thinking. You control Alex on a BMX bike, but instead of normal buttons, you had to use this clunky paddle controller—basically a dial you twist to speed up or slow down. It’s as awkward as it sounds, but kinda charming in a "why does this exist?" way.

The tracks are short bursts of ramps and obstacles, and the physics feel like you’re biking through molasses at times. Still, there’s something oddly satisfying about nailing a jump just right, even if the controls fight you the whole way. Definitely more of a curiosity than a must-play, but if you’re into retro oddballs, it’s a neat little time capsule.
