Recalling the title of a game


Recommended Posts

Younger brother is trying to remember a game for the nintendo 64 (or possibly playstation). I don't know what the heck he's talking about, but maybe you guys will. This is his description:

"the objective (might have been) to fly into circle/ringed checkpoints. The colors of the checkpoints were neon/lime green, and so was the inside. In between was purple and red. The ground was neon green. The main character was a person who could fly. The colors were silver-ish, but would reflect lighting, making it purple and a line of red. The sky was blue and clear. Was not pilot wings. It might have been just a minigame - not sure. Jet streams would come from your wings. When you tried to fly too far up, you'd hit an invisible wall. I think the ringed checkpoints followed the general path of a rectangle-shaped hill / valley. So, it was a rectangle of a hill with flat ground in the middle. Plains surrounded by hills on all sides. It's so simple, but I can't remember it or describe it correctly. If you could see what I'm talking about, you'd know it right away."

Worst description ever, I know.

Here is a picture of the alleged main character, lol.

I thought of Meta Knight from the Kirby games =/ Although most likely completely wrong.

lol, yeah, definitely not Kirby. Thanks for trying to help him, though! He's been trying to figure it out for years, now.

I would think of Pilotwings/Pilotwings 64 too.

There are different crafts, but the general idea is the same.

Edit: I'm pretty sure there was a character in it called Birdman which kinda matches your description better.

Hmm, can't think of anything else - although it could also be a Pilotwings ripoff. The whole lime green checkpoints with lime green insides thing threw me off.

I suppose Nights into Dreams could be another possibility, but you don't always Fly in that game.

Thanks everyone. Just had him take a look at the screen shots / suggestions. He says "The closest is spyro, but I know that's not it. It looks like that, though."

Sorry to thread hijack, but I'm also after the name of a game that an old friend had years back. The description is even vaguer than OP's, but perhaps it'll ring a bell with someone. I'm 99% sure that it was on the SNES. The only thing I remember about this platformer is that somewhere in the game one of the power ups gives you one of those guns that pops out a sign that says "Bang". IIRC, the power up was actually a joke one and didn't do any damage to enemies.
