[edit] Gameplay
The player guides Alex through 11 stages on the planet Paperock by fighting and avoiding enemies and obstacles.
Enchanted Castle returns to the formula of Alex Kidd in Miracle World. You have to punch to defeat enemies and blocks, you can collect vehicles to travel across levels, and reintroduces the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors, used to fight bosses and to win items from the shops.
[edit] Regional Variations
In the Japanese version of the game, when Alex Kidd or his opponent loses a Rock Paper Scissors match, the loser's clothes disappear, leaving him with nothing but a fig leaf; if a female loses, she has three fig leafs. In the Western versions, the loser is squashed beneath a heavy weight.
[edit] Packages
The game was released as a standalone cartridge and in Sega Genesis Collection in which this game is included alongside Gunstar Heroes, Flicky and Altered Beast.
