Magical Taruruuto Kun - Fantastic World!! is one of those weird, charming NES games that never made it outside Japan. You play as this little kid with a magic wand, hopping through bright, cartoony levels full of floating platforms and goofy enemies. The controls take a second to get used to—your jumps feel a little floaty at first, but once you adjust, it’s surprisingly fun bouncing around and zapping stuff.

What really stands out is the art style—it’s got this Saturday morning cartoon vibe with big, expressive sprites and these weird little details, like enemies that turn into random objects when you hit them. The music’s catchy too, in that classic NES way where you’ll catch yourself humming it hours later.

It’s not the deepest game, but there’s something oddly satisfying about how chaotic and cheerful it is. Definitely worth a look if you’re into retro oddities.
