Can you Beat Ristar Without Jumping?

  • Following on from the recent Dynamite Headdy No Jumping challenge, I've decided to try the same with another limb-throwing Sega Genesis platformer game, the kinda brother of Sonic, Ristar!
    This time, however, I thought I'd switch up the rules a little and try to see the mininum number of jumps it takes to complete the game...

    0:37 Now let's star-t. Ha, gotcha.
    Ristar's designers need to learn from Sonic Team and remember there may come a day when someone challenges themselves to beat your platform game without any platforming. Gotta cater to them as well, maybe give Ristar an invincible sentient asteroid sidekick who can carry him if he doesn't feel like moving.

    My first introduction to this game was unlocking it in Sonic Mega Collection. As a kid, I was so bummed out by the fact that it was just some 'random' game instead of more sonic. Nowadays it's become one of my favorite games on the sega genesis lmao

      That's funny, that's literally how it went for me as a kid! At first I wasn't interested because "eww that's not Sonic" but then one day I got bored and tried it out and oops, I ended up loving the game and now it's one of my favorite games! It's still a very good game.

    6-2 has a speedrun trick with a torn wall which lets you get to the teleporter with just only one jump instead of two

    I've made a TAS that also tackles this challenge (th-cam.com/video/7S2V0b9IQo0/w-d-xo.html) and there are some jumps that can be avoided:
    1-Boss - you can grab the walls to climb it, but the timing is precise
    2-1 - You can climb practically any wall using the grab move, and that applies to the walls that are close to the water
    2-2 - I dont think swimming should be counted
    3-1 - you can do the miniboss if you're extremely lucky
    3-2 - you can climb the pole, and then grab the ceiling to move to the end
    4-1 - if you leave the metronome in a place where ristar can grab it while dropping from the platform, you can throw it to the platform, skipping a jump. you can grab the metronome while jumping out of the monkey bars. Wall climbing also saves so many jumps its ridiculous. but 2 of the jumps are actually impossible
    4-2 - those jumps are skippable with wall climbing once again
    5-2 - there are no improvements, i just wanted to say that this level sucks
    6-1 - that jump can be skipped with wall climbing
    6-2 - the second room is actually possible jumpless, if you grab the enemy to get up to the platform, if the grab killed the enemy, and the gem is close enough. you can skip that moving platform jump, and that also aplies to the room with the multiple platforms. the strat to doing room 8 is pretty complicated, so I recommend watching the video
    Overall, you only actually need 20 jumps! 2 in 4-1, 13 in 5-2, and 5 in 6-2, but you still had a great attempt!
    Edit: I've discovered a save in 4-1 that saves 1 A press in the any% run, and 2 in the 100% run!

    Nice to see you make a video of my Other favorite Sega Genesis game besides Dynamite Headdy! It was also more enjoyable to watch the entirety of the playthrough, this time counting the total jumps!
    I cracked laughing when 'the' gap just before the first boss prevented you from advancing, as well as the bunch of jumps you had to do at the end of the snow ice level. It must have been so annoying lol. However, there were some really nice moments when I didn't think it would actually be possible to skip some of the parts but you surprised me, such as in the fire world.
    It was a really satisfying video. I wish you also made an "awards" just like you did at the end of the Dynamite Headdy video, but oh well, that's you spoiling us :)

    I do realise now that some platforms shown in this video that require a jump are kinda useless. Why are those here ? Those do not provide any challenge (except here...).
    Just take a platform at the beginning of the level, you must jump. No enemy before, no enemy after. Is it there because "it makes the player press button" ? In this case, can we consider it is a lazy level design ?
    If anybody want to share their point of view I'm interested !
