Cool Spot on SNES is one of those weirdly great mascot platformers that shouldn’t work but totally does. You play as the 7-Up logo—yes, really—hopping around soda bottles, bouncing on straws, and dodging angry bottle caps like some kind of caffeinated superhero.

The first level throws you right into a beach scene with these crisp, colorful sprites that still hold up. The controls feel surprisingly tight for a game about a sentient soda dot, and the music? Absolute early '90s bangers. I remember thinking it’d just be a dumb advergame, but the platforming’s actually solid—some of those later stages get sneaky with their jumps.

Also, the way Spot rolls into a ball to attack enemies never gets old. Just don’t expect deep lore here. You’re rescuing other Spots from… evil cans, I guess? Doesn’t matter. It’s pure, dumb fun with way more polish than it had any right to have.
