But to adapt to the constraint of a fast game, the hero of the game should not make too much movement and it was then imagined that to defeat the enemies the hero had to curl into a ball.

Yuji Naka then imagined a fast and dynamic platform game in which the best players could complete each level as quickly as possible thanks to their skills. Sega needed a benchmark game for its new console, but one that could stand out from the competition.
