- This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/861M
TAS originally published on 2007-05-17
Ristar is a large, colorful game with good music. It also has water-themed levels that aren't slow and boring, which is a true rarity.
The author of this TAS chose to get maximum height bonuses instead of using the end pole for a small, boring speed boost.
As Bag of Magic Food (tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/B...) so excellently put it, "Starface has stretchy arms and wastes time spinning on poles."
This is a 1 minute 33 second improvement over the author's previous (tasvideos.org/547M) movie. Details about the improvements can be found in the authors comments (tasvideos.org/1506S). - Hry

SEGA really was the moment with so many games.
Release Date NA: February 16, 1995
I love this underrated ass game. Sonic Mega Collection Plus memories.
I love this game. Why didn't sega produce a sequel? This game is so memorable for so many reasons.
Cus SEGA are money hungry pigs and only care about milking Sonic
The game was doomed from the start, it was released at the end of the Genesis lifespan
Should've been ported to the Sega Saturn like other Sonic games such as Sonic 3D Blast.
There was going to be a sequel but it was cancelled
@@deiksosame with Vectorman for the next gen, but that got cancelled too. That’s on top of Blue Sky Software & SEGA ending their relationship.
What a exceptional TAS. Fun to watch and an amazing display of technical skill. I hope it's a candidate for Stars tier.
Release Date JP: February 17, 1995
Such a beautiful game - the music and graphics pair together so well. Congrats to Upthorn!
I love the colour palette so gorgeous and everything you said as well.
I really love this game. A beautiful and cool platformer. It's a pity sega didn't develop ristar and made a sequel.
They've had enough of killing Sonic. It would be better to develop this game.
Well a lot of people haven't played it since i came out in 95
Did you guys know in when greedy spawns a black hole the sound effect is the sound of someone's super form in sonic 3 and knuckles
At 3:51 you can actually get over the top before the water level rises with a carefully timed down right grab on the very end corner if you gain enough height, you can grab cancel your backwards momentum and just reach seems like this should be faster. May be an improvement.
Rister Is My Favorite Game On Sega I Miss This Game I Remember When I Was 11 And I Was In 6th Grade I Used To Play It All The Time!!! 🎮
13:00 WHAT? I’ve never seen THAT before.
SAME
@@JaeBcYes I now managed to do it myself, you need to destroy all the birds heads before the first wave of orblets comes
@@megadriveleoDon’t make me talk about the hidden bonus stages Bonus points 😒
I enjoy this gameplay
This is the best Sega game (in my opinion)
Waw this is a awesome Speedrun :D
Honestly, this game's better than the first Sonic games
Oh wow an invisible enemy just chilling there! I didn’t know he was there before 13:48
ristart should have been the mascot of sega
FWIW his designer would go on to redesign Sonic and be the official artist of the series for a while.
Not if there are two
Bro you are a beast
Nice this good video games
Ristar just said Asta La Viesta baby. No way 😭 i love this game
It will be cool if Sega an Ubisoft was to do a Ristar an Rayman cross over.
I hope Sega remasters this game in 2025 for it’s 30th anniversary.
They totally forgot him and also nights into dreams 😭
This game needed a sequel
Not a lot of people played it so their would be little hype and could ruin future players perception
@@miles4961 Well in a perfect world it could've sold well
@@RyneMcKinney possible but i think its good no others were made sega now has more fans of ristar and might have better ideas for a reboot or 2nd game and the fans will be more hyped
18:10 hot pie
SNES: "genesis doesn't have that much color-"
This game: "r u sure?"
So you’re playing the Japanese version. In the Japanese version the fifth boss looks like a robotic cat while in the English version he’s a melting snowman
Using the JP version was a no brainer, because it’s a faster speedrun. In that same level with the melting ice man, there is an intro in the US version. Even if it’s skipable (assuming it is, I haven’t played the game that fair) it would still take up a few frames to skip it.
The US version also added a short mid-level cutscene in the level "Law? Chaos?" where Ristar equips himself with anti-gravity shoes, which takes up an approximated second of total runtime.
@@NunofYerbizness that sounds like a myth
Release Date JP: February 17, 1995
ristar's idle stance is smiling. you can tell it's the japanese version just from that.
Drx from hidden palace: the game
nice game!
I hope im not the only one who noticed him just chilling on a spike at 13:50
lol you mean on 13:48 not 13:50!
W Game
not bad
hi
Why they didn't make a part 2?
Because Sega
Stupid Saturn
Sadly, because when they made the game Sega was already moving to the Sega Saturn in Japan, and it was only 3 months before the Sega Saturn released in the US after this. They did have plans for a sequel having three other playable star characters using their legs, body, or ears to attack instead, but it was instantly scrapped because it didn't sell well.
Also what was you guys favorite planet?
Freedom
Honestly, they're all great, I can't pick a fav
Planet Flora
Sonata Planet
Probablyyyyyy Planet Freon
me or just game ? i though version change, I remember on
18:00 - it was snowman ? I havent seen robotic cat
30:51 (at the end?) Ristar calling '"Dad!"' and Dad call "'Son!'" cutscenes verison, I seen like master/crazy hand character from SSB
Imagine how much shorter this would be if Ristar could sprint
I guess they had to compensate for Ristar’s slow speed because the levels are so short. Saying that, though, this would make it much easier.
This is the Japanese version, right? Because Ristar is smiling here.
Yes, and because it has the caption 'The Shooting Star' at the title screen!
@@kirisuna19 And also the boss in the ice planet is a cat and the ending is different. Got it.
@@ivgentis Yeah!
@@ivgentis I'm playing the game right now, but the English version!
@@kirisuna19 Good luck!
18:07 so you are in the japan ver.?
Huh neat
10:04 lol was this boss i see in the area
Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Ristar: The Shooting Star)
Windows 8 / Windows Xp (Ristar: The Shooting Star)
_c'mon_
You can hit the monkey when he's on the king's back without having to headbutt the king, would be faster to do that
I did that on one of my most recent playthroughs of Ristar
Bro made greedy look like a joke...
But this is japanse version
Yes. The Japanese version helps with easier speedruns because level skips aren’t incredibly time-consuming. The game moving faster allows for faster speedruns, whereas the European & Japanese versions aren’t that generous.
This game is too slow pace for me I have it but not my style of gameplay
Boss Granny Baby Hahaha Bye Bye 💩💩💩💩💩💩💨
what?

Ristar failed because Ristar is not cool. SEGA (in-house team) made Alex Kidd (a Son Wukong rip-off, but the Western cover art was some ugly, *ugly*-ass art of an American child that looked nothing like the in-game sprite). They made Ristar. They made Nights into Dreams. All of these things were attempts at mascots, and none of them were cool.
The only mascot SEGA made that was cool was Sonic, and that was because-- and they admitted this-- they stuck Felix the Cat's head on Mickey Mouse's body and it somehow worked. They took two kinda cute and kinda lame international phenomenon characters and threw them together. That's some Japanese character logic if I ever saw it.
For this and many other reasons, SEGA has always been clueless, which is why they failed.
How that retarded hedgehog got famous but Ristar didn't (Look how lovable those sprites and sounds are, so much personality) I will never get
I think that along with this, there's also the fact that this game was released in 1995, kinda late for the Megadrive. Sega was moving into the new system, the Saturn, and that's why they didn't simply cared about this game. The situation is very similar to Super Mario RPG.
Idk, man. I view Ristar as incredible. Only recently have I played Sonic Mania, but even still, mascots like Ristar are deserving of love & appreciation.
First
1: no one cares
2: no you weren’t.
