Developed near the end of the mega drives life in 1995 by Sonic team. It's was received very well criticallly and i've quite recently finished for the first time on the Mega drive collection on my psp.
Heres a link to some info:

Fantastic game. one of the greatest Genesis Games of the lot. Its fun platforming andstretchy arms :P always make me come back for more.
Fun Fact: Ristars concept was the idea originally for SEGAs Mascot.

Yeah I have a Retro gamer issue that has quite a good article on the making of the game and they chat with (I think) the lead designer. He mentions something about when he was making sonic he started life as a rabbit as there quite fast but then obviously changed it so when he came to making this he was determined to use the rabbit design as he liked it but then got sidetracked again but with the star design. I'll have to read it again though my memory's rusty on the exact story.

I never played the game around its release but have it on one of those Sonic collections for the Gamecube. I'll give it a spin tonight and see if it has stood up to time well.
Not a bad game really, though totally not worth the insane requirments Sonic Mega Collection on the 'cube had to unlock it.

Ristar... itīs a wonderful game, a great platformer, a great concept of game.
The soundtrack is amazing, with many memorable songs.
Iīve re-played this game not too months ago, is still fun.
This sure is one of the best platformers on the MD. It gets a sure 5 from me.

Been looking for this issue at home since I posted this and couldn't find it. Just realised I brought this issue in with me to work and just stuffed it in my filing cabinet. It's been sat next to me.
I didnt loved this one so much... it's a pain to aim with the D-Pad when "grabbing" stuff, I think I got used to Yoshi's Story

Why it's easier on the Mega Collection.

Yea but first you have to unlock it which is a pain in the arse.
