He must stop Greedy and the brainwashed leaders of each world to restore peace to the Valdi System. She awakens one of her children, Ristar, with the sole purpose of granting the wishes of the innocent people. The desperate prayers reach the mother of shooting stars, Oruto. In the Japanese version, the inhabitants of Planet Neer (Flora in the international version) pray for a hero before Greedy's mind control minion, Riho, snatches the planet elder. He has forced the leaders of the planets to do his bidding, enslaved the people, and used mind control to make the planets' leaders obey him, all while he watches from his Castle. In all versions of the game, the game takes place at a far away system of planets known as the Valdi System, which has been attacked by an evil tyrant known as Kaiser Greedy. Much like other games from the same timeframe, the game's story varied between the Japanese language release and its English language counterpart. His arms are also used to climb walls, swing across poles, and even find bonuses inside some walls.

Ristar's arms can also be used to ride spinners, which are used to move Ristar to a different location or to access some hidden Bonus Areas. Ristar attacks by grabbing the enemies with his long arms from either a close or mid-range stance, and then headbutting them. The gameplay is very different from the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games. One of the usable passwords in Ristar is 'FEEL', which is a reference to this prototype. Feel would also have worn Sonic the Hedgehog-styled shoes, but they were later changed to the thunderbolt design.

One of the main differences between both appearances is the lack of the star-shaped body, with the Feel characters bearing a rabbit-like motif. Ristar was originally going to be called 'Feel', including a different character with a similar appearance to Ristar.
