Play Alex Kidd in Miracle World (USA, Europe) Online
You punch rocks for power-ups, swim past piranhas, and gamble on rock-paper-scissors to beat bosses—it’s janky, weird, and weirdly lovable. That bike level music still lives in my head rent-free.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World came out in 1986 for the Sega Master System, developed and published by Sega. It was one of the system's early platformers, and for a lot of players, it was just there, built into the console itself. You didn't need a cartridge; you just turned the system on and it was ready to go.
You control Alex Kidd, a boy with big ears who punches his way through screen after screen of enemies and obstacles. Your goal is to rescue your brother from the evil Janken the Great. You break blocks with your fist to find money or vehicles, like a motorbike or a helicopter, and you face bosses in rock-paper-scissors matches to progress. The game moves at a steady pace, but it's notoriously unforgiving; one hit kills you, and you have limited continues. Playing it feels like a stubborn, slightly awkward conversation with an old friend who doesn't cut you any slack.
