Trivia / Nightmare Circus

• Guide Dang It!: This game is infamous for its confusing gameplay. There are five sections total, each with their own rules that are virtually impossible to figure out. One section for example starts you off in an area with platforms descending and ascending with a fire pit below; if you ride that platforms off the top of the screen, you just come back down to the same room. To pass this room you have to keep going up off the screen at least 30 times until the fire disappears. Needless to say, most players would never in a million years figure something like that out, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The game was so confusing that for years many people believed it could not be beat until someone posted a walkthrough on Youtube.
• No Export for You: The game never got a release in North America outside of the Sega Channel. Instead, it was released as an official Genesis/Mega Drive cartridge in South America (Brazil), by Sega's official licensing company at the time, TecToy.
