Sequel
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle is the fifth title in the Alex Kidd series and arguably a sequel to Miracle World. It was launched in Europe in 1990 for the 16-bit console Sega Mega Drive (A.K.A. "Sega Genesis"). The game continues the story of its predecessor, since it begins with Egle, the brother of Alex Kidd, ruling the planet Aries. Alex hears rumors that his father, King Thor, is being held prisoner by Ashra, the governor of Paperock Planet, so Alex embarks on a quest to rescue him. Although the parties still maintain that rock-paper-scissors is the game played to destroy a leader, there are also betting booths (called Janken Houses) in which to play that game. If Alex wins, he takes the object being placed as collateral for the bet. As compared to the original game, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle has higher definition graphics, more detailed game scenarios, and the main character is larger. However, the game has only eleven stages, six less than in Miracle World.

“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
