Mick & Mack As The Global Gladiators is one of those weirdly charming Sega Master System platformers that somehow makes saving the environment feel like a fast-food-themed fever dream. You play as these two kids (or maybe they're aliens? Honestly, the manual wasn't clear) blasting mutant burgers and soda cans with a squirt gun that shoots... cleaning fluid? It's bizarre in the best way.

The first level throws you right into it—bright colors, bouncy music, and enemies that look like they escaped from a McDonald's nightmare. The controls take a second to get used to (that liquid shooter has some weird arc to it), but once it clicks, you'll be ricocheting shots off walls to take out fries with legs. Some stages have this cool gimmick where you ride bubbles, and others make you platform across floating junk food wrappers. It's got that classic "tough but fair" vibe where you'll die a lot at first, then suddenly realize you're breezing through sections that wrecked you earlier.

Honestly, half the fun is just seeing what ridiculous enemy they'll throw at you next—sentient hot dogs? A walking milkshake? Yeah, it's that kind of game. If you're into retro platformers with personality, this one's a blast.
