Collector interest
This racing spin-off of Sega's mascot only released in Japan, which explains high loose prices despite modest fame outside the islands. Seeing Alex Kidd on a BMX makes it an offbeat entry in the series, sought by character completists. Scarcity stems from a small Mark III run more than mass demand, the game staying little known in the West.
Is BMX Trial - Alex Kidd still worth playing in 2026?
A Japanese spin off putting Alex Kidd on a BMX, BMX Trial chains tricks and obstacles across trial courses, originally built for the console's paddle peripheral. The original concept stands apart from the hero's other adventures, but the gameplay soon proves repetitive and the peculiar handling takes adjusting. The curiosity of seeing the Sega mascot in this register stays its main draw. For an Alex Kidd fan, someone curious about Sega's 8 bit experiments or a collector, the title keeps a mostly heritage interest.
