Ever played one of those arcade punching bag games where you just whale on a target as hard as you can? Sonic Blast Man is basically that, but with a goofy SNES twist. You play as this absurdly jacked superhero punching everything from aliens to giant robots—sometimes so hard the screen shakes like it’s about to crack.

It started in arcades, but the SNES version somehow makes punching feel even more ridiculous with those crunchy sound effects. The first time I played, I didn’t realize you could charge your punches, so I just mashed buttons until my thumbs hurt. Turns out timing matters, but honestly, button mashing still kinda works.

It’s dumb, over-the-top, and exactly what you’d expect from a game where the main mechanic is punching things into orbit.
