Hyper Crazy Climber is an excellent console remake of a Japan-only arcade classic, a 2D action game where you climb massive vertical structures while avoiding various objects thrown at you. This game added content in every sense, with three playable characters (a boy, a girl, and a cute bug-thing) and an exciting variety of stages (including a clocktower, a construction site, and a giant beakstalk), with a boss encounter awaiting you if you can make it to the top. There are lots of new obstacles and enemies thematic to each stage, and the levels are all very beautiful and visually inventive, but the challenging high-speed action won't allow you to stick around and take in the scenery. Obviously it requires no knowledge of Japanese to play, so get on it.
