Play Mr. Gimmick (Europe) Online
You bounce a tricky little star off walls to take out enemies, dying a lot but always knowing it's your own dumb fault. Those pastel dreamscapes and weirdly soothing music make the punishment feel almost nice.
Mr. Gimmick is a 1992 NES game developed and published by Sunsoft. It came out late in the console's life, when many developers were pushing the hardware to its limits, and it shows in the detailed visuals and complex level design. The game doesn't get as much attention as some other platformers from that era, but it has a dedicated following.
You control a small green creature named Yumetaro, tasked with rescuing a child by navigating a series of imaginative, multi-layered stages. Your main weapon is a star that you can toss; it bounces off surfaces and can be aimed with precision, which becomes essential for hitting enemies tucked in awkward spots. The levels are filled with hidden items and alternate paths, encouraging careful exploration. The game is notoriously difficult, demanding quick reflexes and smart use of your limited jump and throw mechanics. Playing it feels like solving a series of demanding, sometimes cruel, but always fair spatial puzzles.
