The goal of each stage is to collect “cool points” which are the little red circles scattered all over the level. Who did this? What’s their plan? Hey, when you’re as cool as Spot, things like “story” and “motivation” are squaresville, man.

The nearly non-existant plot to this game is that somebody has captured a bunch of Spot’s identical clones and locked them in cages. That is, if you’re the sort of person who seeks out mascot platformers and you’ve sucked all enjoyment out of Yo! Noid. While it shares more than a few similarities in gameplay with another McDonald’s game, Global Gladiators, it’s still unique enough it’s worth playing.

It’s also pretty much the only game in the Spotseries that people actually remember, probably for all the systems it came out on for its release. Virgin would give a Spot platformer another shot for the 16-bit systems of the era, and although the result is far from amazing, Cool Spot is a damn sight better than The Cool Adventure.
