Marko moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and ducks with {{down}}. He jumps with {{B}} and jumps longer if the button is held for longer. In the Mega Drive version, Marko runs by holding {{A}} while walking. He can jump much farther and higher from a running start. In the Mega-CD version, Marko starts running after walking a short distance. His acceleration physics affect his jump too, so his jump speed increases after clearing a certain distance (which has the effect of making him jump higher when he jumps farther).

Marko moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and ducks with {{down}}. He jumps with {{B}} and jumps longer if the button is held for longer. Marko's football appears in front of him, and he dribbles it while he walks or runs. He breaks contact with it when he jumps, but he dribbles it again if he walks or runs next to it. He kicks the ball with {{C}} and kicks it farther if the button is held for longer. He can kick while moving. Marko can affect the trajectory of the ball by holding {{C}} to kick it, the pressing {{up}} or {{down}}. So Marko chips the ball in a high arc with {{hold|{{C}}|{{up}}}}, kicks it about head-level by holding {{C}}, kicks it in a low arc by tapping {{C}}, and rolls it along the ground with {{hold|{{C}}|{{down}}}}. Enemies are defeated by hitting them with the ball. Many enemies require more than one hit to defeat. The ball rolls and bounces off objects and surfaces realistically. Marko catches the ball when it bounces or rolls back to him and can kick it again right after. Whenever the ball is away from Marko, he can make it magically reappear in front of him with {{C}}.

Marko has a health bar with five segments. He loses a health segment if he takes damage from an enemy or a hazard such as fire. Touching an enemy harms him, and many enemies have projectile attacks as well. He loses a life if he loses all of his health. Hazards such as water or slime pits also cost a life if he falls into them. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. There is a password system for continuing.

    Marko's Magic Football, known simply as Marko in North America, is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Domark for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD, and Sega Game Gear.

    The Mega-CD and Game Gear versions were released exclusively in Europe (though a US release was at one point planned for December 1994[10]). The Mega-CD port would later be unofficially brought to the US via Good Deal Games who started selling unlicensed reproductions sometime in the 2000s.

    Story

    The evil mastermind Colonel Brown, owner of Sterling Toys, has enlisted the aid of a mad scientist to create mutant sludge monsters out of innocent animals. He intends to use an army of these creatures to take over the town of North Sterlington.

    The young boy Marko was playing with his football when he came across the Colonel's lackeys pouring sludge into the sewers. His football came in contact with the toxic sludge and absorbed magical properties from it. With this magical football, Marko can put a stop to the Colonel's sinister plans.

    North Sterlington

    The game is a platformer played as Marko, a football player with a magical football. It is similar to Soccer Kid and Hurricanes, two other platformers released around the same time that also involve using a soccer ball. Most of the stages require simply making it to the end, though a few stages require destroying all of the Sludge Cans first. Marko can use his football in different ways to help him with platforming or to take out enemies. The game has a mode where the player can practice Marko's moves in his "backyard," a training stage filled with harmless targets instead of enemies.

    Marko moves with Left and Right and ducks with Down. He jumps with B and jumps longer if the button is held for longer. Marko's football appears in front of him, and he dribbles it while he walks or runs. He breaks contact with it when he jumps, but he dribbles it again if he walks or runs next to it. He kicks the ball with C and kicks it farther if the button is held for longer. He can kick while moving. Marko can affect the trajectory of the ball by holding C to kick it, the pressing Up or Down. So Marko chips the ball in a high arc with HOLD CUp, kicks it about head-level by holding C, kicks it in a low arc by tapping C, and rolls it along the ground with HOLD CDown. Enemies are defeated by hitting them with the ball. Many enemies require more than one hit to defeat. The ball rolls and bounces off objects and surfaces realistically. Marko catches the ball when it bounces or rolls back to him and can kick it again right after. Whenever the ball is away from Marko, he can make it magically reappear in front of him with C.

    Marko can also use his football to bounce higher by jumping and pressing B when he lands on the ball, allowing him to reach higher platforms. The ball floats in water or sludge, so Marko can also use it to bounce across wide pools.

    In the Mega Drive version, Marko runs by holding A while walking. He can jump much farther and higher from a running start. Marko can juggle the ball with his foot with HOLD UpC. While juggling, he can perform a bicycle kick with C, which kicks the ball behind him at high speed, dealing more damage than a regular kick. Tapping C kicks it high, while holding C kicks it low. While Marko is juggling the ball with his foot, he can switch to juggling it on his head with HOLD UpC again. If he jumps while head juggling, he knocks the ball upward, which is useful for taking out enemies above him. He can walk while head juggling; while moving, he can head the ball forward by pressing A+C. Marko can switch back to juggling the ball with his foot with HOLD DownC (and then the same buttons again to stop juggling and place the ball back in front of Marko).

    In the Mega-CD version, Marko starts running after walking a short distance. His acceleration physics affect his jump too, so his jump speed increases after clearing a certain distance (which has the effect of making him jump higher when he jumps farther). Marko can juggle the ball with his foot with A. While juggling, he can perform a bicycle kick with C, which kicks the ball behind him at high speed, dealing more damage than a regular kick. Tapping C kicks it high, while holding C kicks it low. While Marko is juggling the ball with his foot, he can switch to juggling it on his head with A again. If he jumps while head juggling, he knocks the ball upward, which is useful for taking out enemies above him. He can walk while head juggling. He can head the ball with C, which can be done while moving. If done when standing, he can angle the shot by holding Left or Right. Marko can switch back to juggling the ball with his foot with A (and then A again to stop juggling and place the ball back in front of Marko).

    Marko has a health bar with five segments. He loses a health segment if he takes damage from an enemy or a hazard such as fire. Touching an enemy harms him, and many enemies have projectile attacks as well. He loses a life if he loses all of his health. Hazards such as water or slime pits also cost a life if he falls into them. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. There is a password system for continuing.

    History

    Development

    Marko's Magic Football was the idea of Domark's Mark Strachan (the "Mark" in "Domark") where it was tentatively titled Mark's Football Game[11]. Development was handled internally by Domark's development group, The Kremlin[11].

    Much of the artwork was sketched out, then digitised on an Amiga 2000 running Deluxe Paint IV[11].

    A Sega Master System version was reportedly in development at some stage too, although was cancelled.

    In North America, the game was originally set to be called Marko and His Magic Soccer Ball[12] before the name was shortened.

    Comic adaptation

    Sonic the Comic included "Marko's Magic Football" comics strips. The single story arc was ruunning from issue #41 to issue #46. It's one of the few comic strips in Sonic the Comic that is based off 3rd party game.
