Fast Eddie is a video game on the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600, released in 1982, developed by Sirius Studios and published by 20th Century Fox.
You play as the titular Fast Eddie, who collects the levels' prizes (Hearts, tanks or fish for instance) and avoids Sneakers, who are blue Waddling Heads. At the top, there's an orange Sneaker named Hi-Top who's too high to jump over at first, but as Eddie collects prizes, Hi-Top gets shorter. After collecting nine prizes, Hi-Top turns normal size and Eddie can grab the key, which allows him to move on to the next level.
"You've got to be quick and you've got to be steady
The skills you need to play Fast Eddie
He's on his way to the top
And man can he hop
And when you think you're the master
You face a disaster
'Cause the Sneakers are coming
So you better get running
And when you catch all the prizes
There's even more sizes
Cause when you get to the top and go after the key,
You can still get stomped by Hi-Top, you see."
