Dynamite Headdy (ダイナマイトヘッディー) is a platform game developed by Treasure and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear. Tec Toy also brought it to the Sega Master System in Brazil. A Sega 32X port was planned, but cancelled due to the system's low popularity.

Story
“ | On-stage Rampage! The curtain is raised, and the Treasure Theater puppet show begins. The star of the show is Dynamite Headdy, the guy with the coolest head on stage. But danger lurks backstage - rival Trouble Bruin wants to be star, and if he can't get his goal by winning the hearts of the audience, he'll do it by doing away with Headdy! But Trouble Bruin is small stuffing compared to Dark Demon, the doll who strives to rule the puppet world by converting the inhabitants into his evil minions! Most devastating are the Key Masters, who serve as Dark
Demon's elite guard |

— EU manual |
The game stars the rejected puppet named Headdy who has interchangeable heads. He must defeat the evil Dark Demon, an evil emperor who wishes to take over the land of puppets.
Gameplay
Dynamite Headdy uses a distinct graphical style to give the impression that all the events take place on a theatre stage, with many of the backgrounds designed to look like cheap cardboard sets.

History
Release
Localisation Changes
Dynamite Headdy suffered significant changes when brought over to a Western audience, with many Japanese-themed bosses altered and the entire game's dialogue being removed. Amongst the most significant changes are the level titles (now named to parody well-known movie titles e.g. Fly Hard/Die Hard) and the regularly-occurring bounty hunter "Maruyama", who was recoloured brown and renamed "Trouble Bruin". However, despite this, his musical score which has synthesized speech still says "Maruyama".
Legacy
Translation group M.I.J.E.T. restored and translated the cut dialogue in a translation patch made in 2007.
The game has also been released as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service, and was included in Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection.
