Yo! Noid 3: Green Strikes Back

(Yo! Noid 3: Green Strikes Back is also viewable on the XSTAR Wiki.) 
Yo! Noid 3: Green Strikes Back (Known in Japan as Yoyosuta, Sore Wa Noido ヨーヨースター。それはノイド [YoYo Star, It's The Noid]) is a 3D Action-Platformer for the XSTAR, developed by Cross Inc, and published by both King Studios and Capcom. It is a sequel to Yo! Noid (which was released on the XSTAR's Virtual Console at launch), and a fan sequel to Yo! Noid 2: Enter the Void, a fangame made for the New Jam City 2017 game jam. 
== Plot ==
Following the Noid's defeat of Mike Hatsune in the Noid Void back in Enter the Void, the iconic Pizza-Wrecking Prankster returned home to New York. Things seemed to go back to normal until his old nemesis, a different-colored impostor of him called Mr. Green (グリーンくん/Green Kun in Japan) returned and started terrorizing the city again. When the Noid tried to battle his old foe, however, Green conjured a dimensional portal from out of nowhere, sending the rabbit-man flying through time and space into a strange, supernatural world of obstacles and challenge, called Gettemland (危険の神秘的な土地/Mysterious Land Of Danger in Japan). Some of the Noid's old university pals, also lost in Gettemland, have been captured by Mr. Green and brainwashed onto his side using a device called the Manic Minder (ブレインスクランブラー七千/Brain Scrambler 7000 in Japan). However, the Noid won't just take this lying down! Using his wacky inventions, Yo-yo tricks, and some help from his saved friends and Gettemland residents, Mr. Green may finally learn to avoid the Noid!
== Gameplay ==
Yo! Noid 3: Green Strikes Back plays similarily to other 3D Platformers like Super Mario 64, Jak and Daxter, and the aforementioned Yo! Noid 2: Enter the Void. The Noid's attacks use the same yo-yo from Yo! Noid; it can also be used to wrap around sideways poles and act as a grappling hook, ala Yo! Noid 2. The Noid has 6 health points, deducted from one piece each by taking damage from hazards and foes; If he loses them all or get bested by a instant-death hazard (such as pits or crushing obstacles), the Noid will lose a life. If he loses all his lives, the Noid will have to start the level from the beginning. Long story short, the Noid must avoid to survive! 
Yo! Noid 3 has six Zones, each with five normal levels, a boss level, and a special bonus level. Certain levels use a special Invention of the Noid, such as the Freeze-O-Matic, Pizza Smasher, and the Ornithopter. In addition, the on-foot levels allow you to switch to different characters besides the Noid, once they've been unlocked.

* The first level, Rude Awakening, is based off of the first level of the original Yo! Noid on the NES.
* One cutscene in the game reveals that The Noid is actually part-rabbit (it's not a suit!).
* When the game is completed, a cutscene will play that finally explains the Noid's reasoning for wanting to ruin/destroy all pizzas, revealing it to be a tear-jerking tale of how he lost his mother to a phony delivery boy at just two weeks old.
* This Is the first video game ever to be officially translated into Azerbaijani
* The reveal trailer for this game includes footage from The Noid's 2021 commercial.
