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.
