Hyper Iria (SNES, 1995)

Subgenre: Action Platformer/Maze Platformer, Some horizontal shoot 'em up segments (very short, easy and basic)

Other: Mission-based non-linear structure with hub menu (S&D, rescue, bomb defusal, one escape sequence; choose 3 weapons and 3 items to take with you before each one)

Can't replay levels nor exit unbeaten levels
Can buy two movement upgrades but they're optional for progression (upgradeable jump height, glide jump; can only use one at a time) - the higher jump is at least useful in mission 2
Some alternate paths through some levels/areas
Shops between levels (money is rewarded based on your performance in a mission)
Password save
No maps (Radar system+AI assistant instead)
Some resource management
Short (5 missions)
