Description

"Tryrush Deppy" is a colorful and engaging 2D platformer developed by the Japanese company Tec Toy and released for the Sega Saturn in 1996 exclusively in Japan. The game follows the adventures of Deppy, a whimsical car with a cheerful personality, as it embarks on a journey across America to reach New York in time for a grand parade. Throughout his journey, Deppy must navigate through various inventive levels that include cities, forests, deserts, and more, facing both environmental obstacles and enemies. Each level is uniquely designed with vibrant graphics and challenges that utilize Deppy’s ability to jump, dash, and transform to overcome hurdles, making each stage a fresh experience.

The game is noteworthy for its creative use of vehicle mechanics in a platforming context, merging traditional running and jumping with automotive abilities. Deppy's transformations—which include changes into forms like a propeller-driven car or a bouncing car—add a layer of strategy to the gameplay, as players must decide the best form to overcome specific challenges and defeat bosses. Although "Tryrush Deppy" never saw a release outside of Japan, it has garnered a cult following among classic game enthusiasts due to its charming art style, inventive gameplay mechanics, and the rarity attached to its regional exclusivity. The game is a celebration of the quirky and boundary-pushing design that characterized many Sega Saturn titles during the mid-90s.
