Monica No Castelo Do Dragao is this weird little gem from the Sega Master System days—basically Brazil’s answer to Mario, but with characters from a popular comic series. You play as Monica (or one of her friends), running through a bright, cartoony castle full of dragons and traps. It’s simple platforming, but the charm’s all in the Brazilian flavor—everything from the sprites to the music feels like it was pulled straight from the comics.

Funny thing is, this game kicked off a whole wave of licensed Brazilian games back then. Not all of them were great, but this one’s got a certain janky appeal. The controls take a second to get used to, and some jumps feel way harder than they should be, but there’s something oddly satisfying about smacking enemies with Monica’s stuffed bunny. If you’re into retro curiosities, it’s a neat slice of gaming history.
