Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings is the official game of the 1996 Olympic Games mascot in Atlanta. As the name suggests, Izzy must find the five Olympic rings, hidden by the guardians so that Izzy does not take them to his world.
The gameplay follows a similar style to Mario games; to eliminate an opponent, Izzy must jump over their head. There are two jumps available: the ball jump for height and the hurdle jump for distance. Both allow Izzy to clear an enemy, but the second harms him. If Izzy is hit, he must find three medals or lose a life on the next hit. There are also extra objects like Olympic torches and eggs that hatch bonus points, trampolines, or morph points to access otherwise inaccessible areas or traps. Izzy can transform into various objects, such as a glider, baseball player, archer, or rocket, to overcome certain sections of the levels.
