Play Mr. Gimmick Online
A deceptively tough NES platformer where you play as a living toy doll—awkward bouncing stars turn into clever platforming once you learn to ride them. Hunt treasures for the true ending (but lose them if you game over).
Mr. Gimmick is a 1992 NES game developed by Sunsoft, arriving late in the console's life when developers were really pushing the hardware. It stands out for its bright, colorful graphics and a soundtrack that uses the system's sound chip in surprisingly complex ways.
You control a small green toy named Yumetaro, navigating through screen by screen environments to rescue a child. Your main weapon is a star that you can toss; it arcs through the air and can be ridden on after it lands, which becomes essential for crossing large gaps. The game requires careful aim and timing, especially since you lose all collected treasures if you get a game over, adding a layer of tension. Playing it feels like solving a series of clever, sometimes punishing, physical puzzles.
