Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings

Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings is a video game in the action genre developed by Alexandria, Inc. and published by U.S. Gold Ltd. originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on Genesis.

Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings is the official mascot game of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. As the name suggests, Izzy must find the five Olympic rings, hidden by the guardians so that Izzy does not take them back to his world.

The gameplay is much like the Mario games; to eliminate an opponent, Izzy must jump over his head. There are two jumps available, the ball jump, suitable for height, and the fence jump, suitable for distance. Both allow Izzy to eliminate an enemy, but the second one hurts him. If Izzy is hit, he must find three medals, or on the next hit he will lose a life. There are some extra items, such as Olympic torches, and eggs that hatch objects for bonus points, trampolines or transformation points to reach otherwise inaccessible areas or traps. Izzy can also transform into a glider, a baseball player, an archer, or a rocket, among others, to get through some sections of the levels.

The graphics and sound stay true to the mascot's cartoonish origins.
