Mystic Marathon

Mystic Marathon is a horizontally scrolling arcade video game released by Williams Electronics in 1984.

The game presents a race between horned, shoe-wearing, fantasy creatures called "Benkins" on a course covering small islands and the water between them.

[4] Many obstacles slow the creatures down, including apple-throwing trees, lightning, sea monsters, giant clams, and sinkholes.

There are also ways to move forward quickly, such as a hand that throws a character and caves that warp the creature to the exit.

The sky and water are shades of blue in the actual game, but magenta and violet under MAME, and the rocks are pink instead of gray.
