Play Dynamite Headdy (Brazil) Online

Game Overview

Dynamite Headdy on the Master System is one of those games that makes you go "what the heck am I even playing?" in the best way possible. You're this weird little puppet dude who can literally throw his own head at enemies—sometimes it bounces back, sometimes it sticks to things like a grappling hook. The first time I saw Headdy's face just hovering mid-air after a throw, I couldn't stop laughing.

The whole game feels like a fever dream set in some deranged puppet theater. One minute you're bouncing on giant playing cards, the next you're fighting a boss that's just a floating pair of creepy eyeballs. The Brazilian port keeps all the madness of the original but somehow makes it even weirder with that chunky 8-bit style. Levels are short and chaotic, packed with secrets like hidden warp zones and weird power-up heads (my favorite's the drill one that lets you plow through enemies).

It's tough as nails in spots—some of those later bosses had me restarting way too many times—but there's something about the sheer creativity that keeps you pushing through. If you've ever wanted to play a platformer where the main character uses his own face as a weapon, this is your holy grail.
