Whizz (CIB)

Don’t be fooled by the isometric charm — Whizz is as tricky as it is colorful. Released for the Sega Saturn in limited numbers, Whizz is a puzzle-platformer that blends arcade reflexes with mental agility, offering a unique and surprisingly challenging experience wrapped in vibrant ‘90s attitude.

You play as Whizz, a wizard with a need for speed, navigating maze-like levels filled with traps, switches, and time-sensitive hazards. Each stage is a blend of puzzles and platforming, requiring both brains and quick thumbs to conquer. The isometric view gives it a signature visual flair, and the stylized environments and enemies give the game a surreal, almost dreamlike quality that stands apart from the rest of the Saturn library.

But what makes Whizz a real collector’s pick? It’s the rarity. The Saturn port had a limited release, especially in PAL regions, and its offbeat style meant it flew under the radar for many players — making complete copies increasingly hard to find today.
