Dynamite Headdy is a platform game developed by Treasure and published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. It is one of the most inventive and technically accomplished games on the platform, and one of the most underrated classics of the 16-bit era.
The premise is charmingly absurd: Headdy is a puppet whose head can be detached and swapped with dozens of different heads, each granting a different ability. Some heads fire projectiles, others act as shields, and others enable special moves or unlock secret areas. The concept could easily have become a gimmick, but Treasure built an entire game around it with remarkable depth and consistency — every level introduces new situations that demand creative use of Headdy's abilities, and the puzzles are woven seamlessly into the platform action.
