Ristar

Ristar is the titular main protagonist from the Ristar series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ristar is a young but highly intelligent humanoid shooting star and is awakened by Oruto to save the Valdi System from Kaiser Greedy.
Ristar is vulnerable to natural hazards like spikes and lava. He can also get hurt by enemy contact and by projectiles. Using his arms, you grab on to the enemies and send yourself onto them to knock them out. You can also use the Special Stage spinners to get to the Special Stage and collect the treasures or use the normal ones to turn yourself into a shooting star (press the direction Ristar is facing without letting go the Grab button).
Ristar can also climb ladders and climbing up or down on baskets. He does not drown when in water, unlike Sonic, he has a unlimited supply of air, surprisingly.

== Trivia ==
* Most of Ristar's idle animations have been removed in Western versions, replacing them and giving Ristar a more angry appearance.
* In the Western versions, Ristar had a Skiing Segment at the beginning of Planet Freon, this was due to sport cutscenes/gameplay was popular to American audiences. The same sprites are in the Japanese Version, only unused, proving that there was going to be a Skiing cutscene in the Japanese version as well.
** Sprites for a skiing Ristar can be found when hacking the Japanese ROM. However, they go completely unused in the final game.
** Ristar’s skiing segment is reminiscent of the start of Ice Cap zone in Sonic the hedgehog 3 and Knuckles
* In the Western versions, Ristar puts on Anti-Gravity Shoes in the English version in Planet Automaton. The same "Swimming in Midair" scene is in the japanese version, only lacking the shoes. The shoes were added to the American version to make it make the "Swimming in Midair" scene make sense.
* Ristar makes a cameo appearance in both Segasaga, Shenmue II (along with other famed SEGA characters) and Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing (in Death Egg circuit from download content)
* Ristar is accused of of being a sonic ripoff but its more similar to Dynamite headdy
* Ristar is pronounced as Rye-star, Wrist-ar, and Ree-star.
* Ristar is considered a rival to Dynamite Headdy because of their similarities but Sega hasn’t confirmed it yet
