The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy game description The game is hard to qualify in a genre: while it seems at first a platform game, Dizzy is vulnerable to all enemies while unable to eliminate them, and puzzles are completed by bringing an object to a location (in the same fashion as Gods and adventure games), and also has to capture all 250 stars scattered in the game. The game can also be seen as a union of all the previous games where the player can find a lot of familiar puzzles (e.g. Elevators, magic beans) and places (e.g. mines, deep sea) as well has several arcade minigames based on older games in the series (like Bubble Dizzy).

Depending on the version of the game, 100 or 250 [5] stars are scattered around the game which must be collected to grant access to the final confrontation with Zaks. [5] While most stars are accessible in the regular parts of the game, some are placed inside the minigames, which forces the player to run through them as many times needed to get all stars. If the player tries to reach the tower without the stars, Dizzy is stunned by the electric door.There were plans to release the game on the Nintendo Game Boy and the Super Nintendo (SNES), both of which were unfinished and never released. A health bar was introduced, meaning enemies could deal damage without killing Dizzy outright, although many encounters were still one-hit kills. Fruit was strewn about the various areas which could restore parts of Dizzy's lost health, as well as providing points. But because of Nintendo suing Camerica and Galoob over the “Game Genie” at that time, the release was delayed for 11 months. But this mini-game appears to be impossible to beat, because you can only move one tile at a time, with a time limit on top of that. a b Strauss, Bart (31 January 1992). "The latest video games".

Finally, there are some problems inherent to the genre. With a total of 250 stars you might well miss one or two, and will have to trace the levels, screen by screen and minigame by minigame until every one of them is caught. It's also possible to be in an unwinnable position if an object like the rope or the flippers are left somewhere that can't be accessed without them. Also scattered around the map are scrolls where you get to play a sliding puzzle mini-game called “Puzzle Swap”. Dizzy can carry up to three items like keys and objects to be used to solve puzzles.
