Maze Hunter 3D, known as Maze Walker (メイズウォーカー) in Japan, is an action game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Master System. The game makes use of the 3-D Glasses add-on, and perhaps produces the best effects of those that do. All the sprites and backgrounds are given their own illusion of depth, and jumping makes the character appear to move closer to the viewer. There is no 2D equivalent game, and no way to disable the 3D effect. The game itself would be rereleased on the 3DS as part of Sega 3D Classics Collection.
During development the game was known as Billionaire 3D (ビリオネア3D).
