Our take on The Legend of Santa
Rather than centering on a lone hero in a conventional fantasy setting, this platformer casts Santa as its playable lead and places the rescue of his workshop at the center of the adventure. Its Christmas setting replaces the genre’s more common medieval or science-fiction backdrop.
What is The Legend of Santa?
Santa must return to the North Pole after the South Pole Troll and an army of Penguins seize his workshop.
The game uses run-and-jump platforming across 18 levels filled with enemies and environmental hazards. Secret exits provide shortcut routes through the stages, while a new sunny world adds six levels. Up to four players can participate with compatible controllers.

The game offers widescreen 384x224 and classic 256x224 display resolutions, along with pixel-perfect, crisp, and soft presentation modes.
