I truly believe that this is where the Werehog's stretchy arms came from. Ristar is a wonderful game for those who are tired of conventional platformer. Ristar's elastic arms make getting from place to place a breeze, and above that, fun. If you think about it, if Yuji Naka wasn't so enamored by speedy hedgehogs, we'd all be playing Ristar now.
