Ristar Deluxe

Ristar Deluxe Turbo DX Director's Cut Turbo Plus Encore Deluxe Edition Game of the Year Edition the Definitive Edition, more commonly known as Ristar Deluxe is an enhanced version of Ristar released on the Sega Saturn but only in Australia because that was the only game they were allowed to play at the time and it was a launch title there. The game is widely seen as a deluxe version of Ristar, adding one new worlds, 8 new endings, and overall making the game more congruent with later Ristar lore. 
== Prototype ==
Ristar Deluxe was originally known as Ristar: The Shooting Star, also referred to as simply Ristar, is an action/adventure platforming game released in 1995 for the Sega Genesis and Game Gear, in 2006 for Wii Virtual Console, 2010 for PC on Steam and 2017 on iOS and Android. It was recently re-released in 2021, as the part of the Nintendo Switch Online Plus Genesis package. All versions of the game were developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. Ristar was originally going to be called "Feel", including a different character with a similar appearance to Ristar. One of the main differences between both appearances is the lack of the star-shaped body, with the Feel characters bearing a rabbit-like motif. Feel would also have worn Sonic the Hedgehog-styled shoes, but they were later changed to the thunderbolt design. One of the usable passwords in Ristar is "FEEL", which is a reference to this prototype. The gameplay is very different from the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games. Ristar attacks by grabbing the enemies with his long arms from either a close or mid-range stance, and then headbutting them. Ristar's arms can also be used to ride spinners, which are used to move Ristar to a different location or to access some hidden Bonus Areas. His arms are also used to climb walls, swing across poles, and even find bonuses inside some walls. The game takes place at a far away system of planets known as the Valdi System, which has been attacked by an evil tyrant known as Kaiser Greedy. He has forced the leaders of the planets to do his bidding, enslaved the people, and captured the legendary hero, all while he watches from his Castle. A desperate plea for help has been made and has been answered by the legendary hero's son, Ristar. The game begins at this moment, as Ristar is sent to Planet Flora to begin his adventure. Ristar must fight Greedy's minions throughout all 6 planets and restore the leaders. Ristar eventually rescues all 6 planets and flies off to Castle Greedy to finish Greedy off once and for all. He manages to defeat him and escapes the castle in time. In the JP version of the game, after the credits, you will see Greedy and two of his minions, Inonis and Uranim, on some sort of moon. An image of Ristar appears and Greedy simply stares at it. In the US version of the game, Ristar is seen flying to his father's arms, who is finally free. ○ The working title for Ristar was called "Dexstar" ○ Despite never getting a sequel, Ristar would continue to have multiple re-releases through compilation packs such as Sonic Mega Collection, Sega Genesis Classics, Sega Genesis Collection and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
== Gameplay ==
The game is pretty fun i think.
== Story ==
Rather than taking place in the Valdi System, the game takes place in New York with each level being renamed after one of the biggest apple’s landmark. Additionally, Ristar’s dad doesn’t exist.
=== Endings ===
In every world there is now one hidden Ristarcoin. The endings depend on number of Ristarcoins. You can not enter the final level without at least one Ristarcoin. You just can’t. You think I wanted this? 
Ending 1: The standard ending the the game, like in Japan, Kaiser Greedy and his two friends look at you.
Ending 2: The most common ending, Ristar appears and looks at the camera but is crushed by an anvil. If you get this ending, your Sega Saturn knows and if you try to play another Ristar game for the Saturn you have to play as Anvil ristar, who can’t jump high and moves slow and is also dead.
Ending 3: Ristar wins but sees 5 more Kaisers in the background; Greedy and Lusty may have been defeated, but their brothers wait. This may imply that these characters were originally planned for future Ristar games.
Ending 4: Ristar, for his efforts, is given the gift of speech. This is seen as the canon ending of the game by fans, as in every game after this Ristar is allowed to speak.
Ending 5: the five ristarcoins circle around ristar, who then grows a fifth arm on his back, which is better for balancing.
Ending 6: Ristar is seen going through the many worlds of the game in primitive 3d while singing Ristar’s theme
Ending 7: Ristar reaches out to his absentee father, but when he notices his absence he grows at first confused, then angry. He then monologues for 20 minutes about the nature of suffering in the universe before coming to the conclusion that God’s absence is the surest sign that he crafted humanity in his image. While the scene was popular among critics and became a fixture of cinematic studies courses, it was unpopular among Ristar fans for being out of character. The creator of the game, who requested anonimity, said “if you wanted to read, ya should've gone to the library”. He then escaped with a smoke bomg
Ending 8: the good ending, ristar doesn’t have an existential crisis. He then gets an email text from a mysterious number, and as he walks into the sunset it appears his shadow begins to smile. This ending is controversial for seeming to retcon the creation of Dark Ristar, even though it doesn’t do this.
