That's right. Its not that star that Mario grabs. This is the real Starman! Ristar! Created by the same people who made our beloved Blue Blur (that Sonic for those who don't know).

But now he's sitting in a dark corner with the boy with the giant egg (Billy Hatcher), the monkey with the maraccas (Samba de Amigo), The pink haired girl who hosts Space Channel 5 (Ulala), the monkeys that roll in balls (Aiai and friends), the Rub Rabbits (from Feel the Magic), those people who ride on jet skates (Jet Set Radio Future), and the jester that flies by NiGHT (NiGHTS). All that while Sonic still gets seconds, thirds, fourths and nth chances. Dont get me wrong, I love Sonic. I want Sega to keep trying til they get him right!

Nights and Amigo did get a second chance, but due to the chance that they might not do so well (I know Nights for the wii didn't work too well), they're going to be put right back into the corner to be forgotten til' the next retro revival age...

I would recommend downloading Ristar for the VC on the Wii. It could be one of the best $6-8 you'll spend on the Wii.

And a little cheat for those who already have the game: go to "codes/cheats" and type in "ILOVEU" and you get to stage select. But that takes away the satisfaction of going through the whole game... and thats NO GOOD...
