[edit] Gameplay
You must guide 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 them in nothing but a fig leaf. In the Western versions, the loser is squashed beneath a heavy weight.
