31: Pulse Man

That other mythical game from the Sega Channel, this one ain't Alien Soldier. Due to your big sprite and emphasis on speed, there isn't much room for interesting level design. This would have been a dime-a-dozen combat platformer were it not for the ability for charging up and letting loose an invincible bouncing around attack (similar to Rocket Knight's rocket launch). But since you need to first run, momentum is often halted while you backtrack to break through walls. This dynamic is fun for speedrunning, but that's not recommended considering its length, slowdown, auto-scrolling, and obnoxious bonus stages. Pulse Man is a polished product, but the US didn't miss out on anything special.

5/10

Also a Game Freak game, which always is bonkers when you think about how they become the House of Pokemon shortly after.
