For instance, the plot was completely stripped from the international release.

Its quite different from the Japanese original most importantly its a fair deal harder, but there are other differences. Im playing the international release (US / Europe) of the game, since that is what I grew up with. I will show off all the different heads, find all secret bonus points, take different paths, point out different ways of dealing with bosses and so forth. If you like platformers and haven't played it yet, get to it. All in all, it's one of my favourite games of all time. Its also visually very appealing, with vivid colour schemes and a ton of small details. Nearly all levels have some sort of gimmick and there's a general weirdness to the whole thing. Also the entire game is essentially a puppet theatre show, with a cast of puppets, acts for levels, clever use of props for the levels and all kinds of funny mechanics. The vanilla head alone would probably carry the game, but the collection of different heads really makes it shine and allows several replays of the game, since you can try out different heads in different situations. Not only that, you have a number of different heads to choose from, each with different abilities. First of all, you attack by using your head. If youve played any 16-bit era games by Treasure, you know they have a certain quirkiness to their games. Headdy is captured, but manages to escape and now has to save the puppet world. Youre playing as the hero of a puppet theatre show who arrives to the Puppet Town, only to find it under siege by the Imperial Forces led by Dark Demon.

This doesnt mean its not as good, far from it.ĭynamite Headdy is a 2d platformer. Usually at least one of these games is found on pretty much every Top XX Genesis games list, although I think Dynamite Headdy is the one that flew under the radar moreso than the other two. The company behind the game was Treasure, also responsible for McDonalds Treasure Land Adventure and Gunstar Heroes on the same console. If you're new to the game, here's some text (or you can scroll down and watch the intro video).ĭynamite Headdy was released on the Sega Genesis in 1994.
