Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest Overview
Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest is a platforming game for the Sega Genesis, featuring the snack mascot as its protagonist. The narrative begins with Chester leaving his zoo home to find Hip City, a quest disrupted when an antagonist named Mean Eugene steals and scatters his map across the United States.
Players guide Chester through various American locations to collect the torn map pieces. The structure allows for a non-linear progression, where completing a level typically unlocks two more, offering a branching path. Each stage requires locating a map fragment, defeating a boss, and then reaching an exit.
Chester's primary abilities include a dash move and a jump that can defeat enemies by landing on them. The game presents a challenging health system where Chester loses a life after a single hit unless he is carrying a cheetah snack item, which fully restores his health upon use.
