Alex Kidd in Miracle World 2! A sequel 30 years later | Nostalgia Nerd

- It's a MIRACLE! Some 30 years after the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World landed on our Western shores, we finally have a worthy sequel to the game which kick started the gaming career of many an adolescent youth. Sure, we had Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, but that doesn't count. I mean, have you played it? Plus it's on the Mega Drive. For a true sequel, the good ol' Master System is the way forward, and of all the Sega Master System games, Alex Kidd in Miracle World is the one I remember fondest (probably because it was built into the Sega Master System II, and buying new games was bloomin' expensive back then)... Of course, this is a homebrew title, and has no official connections, but good lord, does the physical copy look official. It looks more official than some of my official Sega Master System boxes. So let's dive in where we left off, with Kind Thunder lost somewhere and Alex Kidd having to save the day, once again.

You know you really miss a console when you actually just want to feel the pad to see if your memory remembers the feel of the d-pad and the buttons. Love that flimsy d-pad
The master system is still insanely popular here in Brazil. Even tho it's 80's tech...
It's funny because I took one to the Philippines and people there loved it. Even though they love pc gaming and internet cafes are everywhere, it pulled them away. I think if marketed correctly it could do very well. It's not always about the super graphics.
Man you guys still can't afford a Mega Drive? That sucks.
BRAZIL
Eu tive um master system (Alex kidd na memória) só vir zerar muitos anos depois achava muito difícil na época!Game que mais marcou a minha infância!!!
it's because of your country's insane tariffs.
Sega was smart and outsourced production of the Master System to a Brazilian company called TecToy.
i have waited so long for a sequel to this game! Thank you!
Thanks, played this a few weeks back to the end and it was really well done.
Awesome! I had a master system with no physical games but just Alex Kidd built-in. I think that I've finished it maybe a couple of hundreds of times at least :)
Can't wait to play this. Looks like a ton of love and work went into it!
Christmas day 1991. And being a Christmas day baby. My 5th birthday. I was given this masterpiece. Which my parents played to death and I didn't get a look in till I was 7. Still holds up today. My first and most beloved game
Really nice history of Alex Kidd 1 and 2, thanks. This sequel is way more like the classic than Alex Kidd and the Lost Stars, which was fun but treated like a sequel back on the SMS. Then Alex Kidd High Tech World, etc.
2:07 You mean a jelly donut
I never knew this game came out April 2016! That's when I became a fan of this game series. For my 9th birthday (2016) I got a Sega Genesis! The next day I got to play it! It was fun! So I've been a fan of the series since April 3, 2016! I've been a fan for 2 years! Wow!
Hello! I'm from Brazil
let me explain you...
The Brazilian Master System 1 did not come with any games, but if you turned on the console without cartridges, you could play a simple game called "Snail Maze"...
With the release of Alex Kidd, tectoy (SEGA representative in Brazil) made a master system 1 model with Alex Kidd, and for marketing reasons called it Master System "2".
After this event, SEGA launched the true Master System 2, and Tectoy after a while, launched it here by calling it Master System "3" (also with Alex Kidd in memory).
After a while, Tectoy released the Master System "3" with Sonic in memory, well afterwards also released other versions, such as one that included Great Soccer, which was very popular here in brazil. By the mid-2000s, tectoy made a version called "Master System 3 collection" which came with more than 100 games in memory and a 6-button style control of Mega Drive.
Awsome video!!
I love your channel!
Sorry for the probably english errors. XDD
The whole Brazil/SMS thing is really weird but really cool at the same time.
Yes!, hahahaha
Oh, sorry for the error!
I think I covered this roughly in my Sega Master System Story, but I still find it weird that they called it a Master System II.
Hmm.. I got my master system x-mas 1987 (Finland) and it had snail maze. IIRC, it came bundled with the light phaser, safari hunt and hang on. (Dad also bought couple of master system joysticks (Control Sticks) as he didn't like the pad and so I really disliked all the _crappy_ "nintendo" pads at first and preferred joysticks for a long time xD).
Later on my friend got an master system (maybe a couple years later?) that looked the same but had alex kidd built in.
I cannot like this enough thank you for sharing this!
I found a useful way for dealing with the ghosts that came out of every second ? box. You simply break two additional coin boxes as the game could only have 2 objects on screen from boxes at a time, so smashing an extra box will remove the ghost as it counts as an item.
Nice video y done.. Alex Kidd in Miracle World was my 1st game with Master system 2 from 1989 till got it today
Man thank you so much for reviewing this.Downloaded it and man the castle at the end is looooong.Noticed a few glitches but this game is awesome.Music doesnt touch the original though.Will be buying a physical if I can.
I have a hard copy of this game available. PM me if you are still interested. facebook.com/simon.sheldon.14
I too owned a Master System II and played Alex Kidd in Miracle World relentlessly. :)
Before i even start watching this video i just want to say i was watching a ak2 video and the description was in another language and i really wanted to know about it, and now im really excited so thanks for the video.
I'm from Australia (now residing in New Zealand) and I remember getting a Sega Master System for Christmas 1991 which my dad bought ah the awesome memories ^^
Great video - thanks. Remember playing at a friend's house the odd bit of Alex Kidd. Just fired up retroarch and played the original and this mod - it's awesome - just finished both of them. god knows how people did it before save states though!
God I loved this game.
Great video!!
You're doing awesome work here.
Thanks for the link I love it, I got my Sega master system 2 in 1992 came with Alex kidd in meracle world, played it for hours every day, such good memories, now I have both of them in my phone. 😁
0:51 I actually had this one. Ah, the memories.
Indeed, in Europe and Brazil and Australia, the SMS was king.
Love Sega Master System 👍
Awesome video man. Loved the Master System. 💯👍✌
Nostalgia overload.... Brilliant!!!!
What a classic game 😁
Had the Master System II with Alex Kidd when I lived with my mum, when I moved into my dads house he got me another Master System II but I was gutted as it had bloody Sonic instead.
Thanks for the heads up on this! Alex Kidd was the first game I ever owned and I played it to death, so definitely going to have a go on the sequel. I think I preferred the option to hold up on the d-pad and hammer one of the buttons for a continue in the original as opposed to paying for one in this.
Amazing. I love the attention to the backgrounds. Not those plain solid colours anymore. The castle has bricks in the background. The shrubbery and clouds are in the foreground and Alex walks and flies behind them, giving more of a sense of depth, which is really nice.
Not too pleased to hear that it's harder, to be honest though. I feel the original game was just a little too hard to be enjoyed by the casual gamer. The controls just s little too imprecise for the difficulty level.
But I appreciate the effort and am genuinely excited to try this game out.
I never beat the original as a youngster, but recently went back to it utilising an emulators save/load feature and finally beat it.
No way! I was playing this on my Master System II this morning :D
One of my most fave platformers, finished it many times. This was built in to my ms1 in the uk.
Love this game. Love the original Alex Kidd game. Love your love for the Master System.
I had a Sega Master System II with Alex built in. I got mine in 92. Best times
Onigiri is pronounced "oh-nee-ghi-ree", hard G.
(inb4 "omg, it's the gif vs. jiff all over again!")
I love Alex Kidd and grew up playing it with my friends and all, but I was also going to mention this. Japanese is much easier to read when understanding the Romanized words have a 1-to-1 corresponding sound for each letter. A is always "ah", E is always "eh", U is always "ooh", and is this case G is always the hard G.
I came here to point that out but you already did :D
"Gee" in Japanese would be じ or ジ
Yeah but now Alex Kidd eats a hamburjer, so the point is moot.
I see what you did there... Very jood.
I think I'll just stick with "Rice triangle"
I also got my Sega Master System II on Xmas day 1991 and all my strongest memories consist of playing Alex Kidd that day too. I was in New Zealand though so about 12 hours ahead. Also 9 years old and did work out pretty quickly the Janken Matches were all the same. Allthough if you lost one round it went random as far as I could tell. Took me until September 1992 to finish the game, and then only when I was stuck on the final room, I had to ask around school how to read that tablet! bottom to top and right to left...I never would've worked this out myself, so vague!
I'm enjoying your channel a lot, a lot of Sega content, which is lacking on youtube. Nintendo usually gets all the attention.
My uncle allowed me to play with his Master System II for a few months, my father and I would play Alex Kidd for hours, without ever passing the crystal/ice castle. One day my uncle needed money and asked his console back, he sold it for a few coins and I never played Alex Kidd again.
I don't know where he originally bought it, as it was a very rare console in Mexico, but at least my father was able to buy a few cartridges for it in the flea market.
And a few years later, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is announced.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World was one of those games that really irritated me with the lack of a save function. That is one thing that really put me off consoles back in the day as I came from a home computer background where I could save a lot of games. I never finished the game completely, mainly because I got killed doing rock, paper, scissors.
yea about that grim reaper thing ... most of my life I thought that was a walrus
Lewis Filby haha we used to call it “the sloth”. Not sure why as it moved pretty fast
Yeah I always thought of it as a Walrus. Even after reading the instruction manual and seeing it was a grim reaper ghost thing, I can't unsee a Walrus.
I got a Master system 2 for Christmas 1991, along with Sonic and Ninja... I fully intended to play Sonic all day, but AK1 was so unexpectedly good, I didn't play Sonic until Boxing day. Great, great times :)
Here in Canada I missed this console. I went from many models of Atari 8 bit computers to Atari ST then quickly to Amiga 500; nevertheless, I can see your enjoyment.
Here in Brazil we also had a Master System III (that was your II) with Alex Kid on the memory ;)
I used to love going round my mates house to play this, it's a great game.
The original definitely had a continue option, the way you mentioned it made it sound like it was addition to Miracle World II.
Yes but was a cheat and you needed to have $200
PAL-M, which is what we used in Brazil, is actually 60 fps as it is fully compatible with NTSC save for the color carrier. That means we actually played the game like in the footage.
Yes, of course. Same as the original Japanese market.
i can relate!!!! unpacking the sega master system II, turning it on, bam! alex kid! :)
Blast from the past
0:59 - This is exactly the Box i got as A Birthday Gift ON 1990
It is, indeed, a miracle! :)
Awesome vid, Pete!
Cheers!
You're welcome my friend. Thanks for stopping by!
Just found your channel and your content amount is so massive! Prolific even. Do you sleep? Thank you for sharing with us.
Nice to see the Acorn Electron lurking in the background there.
No hamburgers arrr , loved miracle world! Good vid Nerd
Neat I have a bunch of those Himalayan lamps in my house to I love the Orange Glow of them. :)
2:14 No, that's Brock's Donuts
Alex Kidd in Miracle World is still easily my favourite Master System game, and the first I ever played. Nice to see it get some proper love. Now, I just hope it won't take me several years to beat Miracle World 2.
EDIT: Tried the ROM and it's good. Levels are a bit short and easier than the original but the design and music is lovely so it's well worth a play. As a longtime Miracle World fan, I love it.
Jacob Shaw Happy you like my music - thanks for playing! 😀
Like most games I play, I'll never get to finish it.
Ah memories, I got the master system II with Alex kidd back in 1992 it was my first games console, played it for hours every day and night loved it, I have Alex kidd rom on my phone getting pretty good at it, I downloaded Alex kidd 2 rom and I'm really enjoying it, love these old retro games, thanks for the info.
@@Nostalgianerd At 5:31.. the pleasure of plug a game and... that's it... it works........... no Steam crap.. no internet authorization of the real owner (meaning the company that scam you selling you something that is not really yours)....... no need for pray for the server or company still being around for play the game in 20 or 30 years.......... do we have any new games like this lately????........ which was the last one????...... the last game we can buy and play without anyone's authorization????..... someday someone is going to have to make a website or list with the games that we can actually buy and collect for use in the future like you guys do with this ones today........
I think the way he should do it is make 1986 copies of the game and have them go up for pre-order. Once that amount is sold then thats it. Unless theres even more demand then he should make a second print, but there should be an indication that it is indeed a 2nd print.
hello !
How can I edit continue and life settings please ?
I actually had a master system 1 with Alex Kidd built in in Germany back then
The game looks good, seems to respect the original "Alex Kidd". Nice video! :)
Greattt review - thanks for the shout out! Hope you enjoyed my music for the game. 😊
Yes. I thoroughly enjoyed every track!
Nostalgia Nerd Yay! 😊
Holy crap a 2nd game to the OG! hells yeah already downloading the rom
Great news!
All hail the Mighty Master System 👍
Woohoo! Master System 2!!! My Alex Kidd MS2 was bugged and we couldn't finish the last boss =(
I'm going to try this out it's a must 🙃
Alex deserves more games. I miss the little guy so much.
Didn't know this existed thanks! Already fired up RetroArch to give it a go. Hve to learn more about latency settings in RA, it's a bit touchy and punch and jump are slightly delayed on Xbox controller.
I had a Master System II in the early 90's here in Brazil... Oh the nostalgia...
Mate, you could continue the in first one too, you held up at the game over screen and simultaneously pressed 1 & 2 until a chime sounded. :)
I had a Master System 1 and 2. Don't ask me why I had both. I loved Alex Kidd. For some reason as a kid (no pun intended) - I used to call it Alex the Kidd. I don't know why. Alex Kidd in Miracle World was one of my favourite games on the Master System. I spent countless hours playing it.
Sean Ó Briain I also used to call it Alex The Kidd, lol.
HOW am I just seeing this video, had zero idea there was a fan made equal to Alex Kidd! I played the hell out of that on my SMS. I just fired up Bigbox so I could play the original before I tried the new one.
Forgot how incredibly floaty the controls are, it's gonna take me weeks to beat this lol.
Wow, we also got it for Christmas 1991!
After figuring the first jacket was set every time got to another I just remembered what they were, get the ball and will show you there choice
I loved this game!!!!!
This system was awsome along with the TurboGrafx 16 man why cant video gaming be like those days .
2:08 no, that's a jelly filled doughnut
get it?
Been wanting to try this for a while, how did you get a physical copy Pete? :)
I have a hard copy of this game available. PM me if you are still interested. facebook.com/simon.sheldon.14
Used to own Shinobi World back in the day, then last year I tried this one too on emulator and I was quite disappointed. Wouldn't pay too much for a copy honestly...
This is clearly stated in the video. Listen again.
Hello, You! xD
I feel like Ian grasped what made the original game great (and what worked against it) so thoroughly, that I would make it a point of playing anything else he decided to sequel.
Damn, when I first saw the thumbnail for this video I was hoping for something akin to the recent Wonder Boy 3 remake, rather than a ROM hack.
That really is a thing of beauty.. :)
Rock/paper/scissors anyone ?
I'm from Brazil and i have one of these Master System II that looks like Master System I. Your Master System II, here is called Master System III, and had Sonic on Memory.
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World is still my favorite
This is cool, and i like! But the mega drive version is the official miracle world's sequel. Anyway, thanks for the video! And greetings from Brazil.
I will admit, I didn't beat this game till I was 16. And I seen and knew about it since I was 3-4? Toward the end of MW. You could tell it was designed to be unfair...like this Water/spike room in Jakens fort. Let's just say it was the Sonic3 barrel of it's day.
Cool video, dude you are getting close to 100K subs. I hope it happens soon. Thanks for all the cool videos.
Thanks man!
I want that Master system 2 ;)
Interestingly enough, the original JP version did not include the bike song found on various levels on the original Alex Kidd as it could be heard in the English and EU versions
My Master System 1 had Alex Kidd built in. First game I played to the end.
Me lo he bajado hoy y ya me lo he pasado 2 veces, es una versión del clasico de SEGA completamente nuevo y a la vez llena de nostalgia.
Está plagado de secretos a diferencia del primero que apenas tenia.
Echo en falta un poco mas de dificultad y sus pantallas son algo cortas. Pero dudo mucho que alguien pueda igualar este trabajo en los próximos años y mucho menos mejorarlo.
Oh man you've explained the rice triangle for the first time in my life! Always wondered what this was! Oh, great vid too :D
I always thought it was a glitch lol spent along time wondering were the burger went :)
Just completed it after 30years.
I feel you.
Alex kidd in miracle world was the first game I every played.
I'm pretty sure there was also a maze game built in to the ROM on the Master System too, accessed by a key or button combo on start up.
Yes indeed. Hold up and buttons, and you're away.
I had a UK master system 1 with this built in.
I still have my master system and Alex kidd (the cart) I'm currently playing through miracle world on my ps4 (psnow) lol its so great.
You know when you revisit something from when you were a kid and it ruins it.. Alex kidd is not one of those instances it's just as good now as it was then.
Ah my first harming experience of gaming.
Had mine built into my master system 1(1990ish, u.k )
Ah, the ghost alex and sound......I remember that!
Dam i was so good at the original played it so much every time I brought a bike I could finish the level to the end with the bike. Including the forest one.
❤️ Sega Master System and ❤️ Alex Kid
