Overview
Description

Hat Kid, a young alien girl, crash‑lands after her spaceship’s door is ripped open by a space mafia. Scattered Time Pieces—magical hourglasses—must be recovered across vibrant, whimsical worlds before she can continue home. Players explore colorful levels, solve puzzles, and collect hats that grant unique powers, all while meeting quirky characters and rivals. The game blends classic platforming with modern co‑op, offering both solo and split‑screen multiplayer for up to four players.

Magical Hat no Buttobi Turbo! Daibouken is a classic side‑scrolling platformer based on Studio Pierrot's anime Magical Hat. Players guide the eccentric hat‑wearing hero through colorful fantasy worlds, battling quirky enemies and solving simple puzzles. The game was originally released in Japan in December 1990 by Sega and later rebranded for Western audiences as Decap Attack. Its bright visuals, catchy music, and quirky humor make it a nostalgic favorite for retro platform fans.
