Daze Before Christmas (Genesis)

So...this game most certainly does exist and it was a pretty good one to play through around this time of year.
Published by Sunsoft and Developed by Funcom, you play as Santa Claus in an action/platformer to save Christmas.

Santa can shoot magic to defeat enemies and can use magic to open presents to reveal elves, bombs (that can hurt you) and power ups.

Another interesting mechanic is if you pick up a cup of coffee, Santa becomes Anti-Claus where he wears a blue suit, turns his skin red and has horns (like a devil). For a few seconds, Santa becomes invincible and his different means of attack is whacking enemies with his sack of toys. Anti-Claus can also smash down certain walls in this form.

One thing I didn't like about the controls is that to grab onto a rope, you have to make sure you leave the D-Pad in a neutral position in order to grab on and climb.This tripped me up a lot cause one of the first things anyone playing a game where you can grab onto a rope/ladder would be to hold up or down on the D-Pad in order to grab. Other than that minor gripe, the game played really well.

Boss fights were pretty easy and the bonus stages were nice after you beat the boss. You get to ride Santa's sleigh in a shoot em' up segment where you drop presents down the chimneys.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen (Super Famicom)

This is a good fighting game. It's pretty neat that there's a scene for it.

On the other hand, playing through Story Mode was not fun. The AI is ridiculous. Almost close to SNK Boss Syndrome.
Mars and Moon gave me a lot of trouble. Especially Moon.
The last boss of the game is Sailor Uranus and...she flat out bodied me. I was almost close to giving up. I think I spent close to 2 hours in finally taking her down as Chibi-Moon.
