This is a replica font that was originally used as the level cards and credits for "Sonic 3D Blast" for the SEGA Genesis and SEGA Saturn. Original text design courtesy of SEGA. Sonic Team, and Traveller's Tales.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is unusual, as each character not only comprises two tiles (for its height), but also features characters that are wider than the maximum 8px tiles. In the game's tile set, this was achieved by using a custom encoding, where a single tile contains the combined values for two horizontal tiles.
See this short Twitter thread for a little dissection of the tile set.
The width of each character is also variable and encoded in the bottom tile for each character. Unfortunately, I was unable to work out the logic behind the width information bits - so, for characters used in the game, the correct width was matched manually, and for any characters not encountered (yet) in any of the dialog boxes, I took an educated guess...
Due to the complexity of this encoding, I won't tackle the hiragana/katakana large font from the japanese release.

The ubiquitous video game font standard, likely designed by Lyle Rains of Atari; first used in 1976's "Sprint 2" by Atari, and then on until well into the 1990s. Used by most video arcade game companies, including (but not limited to): Namco, Williams Electronics, Irem, Atari, Konami, Bally-Midway, Taito, Nintendo and Sega. The lower case characters are from several Atari video arcade games from 1984-1987. Plenty of alternate characters -- variations used in conjunction with the standard font, all selected from a variety of MAME32 game roms.

Apologies about the terrible monospace mastering before! Spacing is reduced and is made to look better than the original. Unfortunately, the long letters (“M” and “W”) will stick to the letter next to it.
This is a clone of Sonic HUD Globalspaced 1.1The font from Sonic Mania! Created as a default font for my own personal use as there's not many good Sonic fonts out there for a default font but I've released this publically as well! Credit goes to SEGA.
The definitive retro gaming font, now available to use for your gaming-related projects, without a single arcade quarter required, is here! Why stick with Press Start 2P when you can use this, especially the fact that this font has over 1000 characters? This font was originally inspired by nostalgic arcade games, such as Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Frogger, Wonder Boy, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Burger Time, Centipede, Track & Field, Bomb Jack, and many more!

There you go! I made a usual recreation of the dialogue font used in Kirby’s Avalanche (a.k.a. Kirby’s Ghost Trap in Europe), Nintendo’s attempt at localizing Puyo Puyo in the 90’s, before the time when SEGA bought the Puyo Puyo license. Almost all glyphs from the game are included, as well as custom glyphs for other languages. Have fun! Bayoen~!
