While the stages for the most part are made of run-and-gun/platforming, Luke will be able to fight with a lightsaber once he acquires it from Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the final part of the game being the players reenacting Luke’s Death Star trench run, with Darth Vader flying in his own TIE Advanced fighter. In addition, there are vehicle-based stages where the player can control a Landspeeder or an X-Wing. Initially you start out as Luke Skywalker, but in later stages you can play as Han Solo or Chewbacca. Instead the players have to fight their way through the Jawa Sandcrawler to get to the droids. With Super Star Wars, players are reintroduced into the faraway galaxy, but with a few more elements put in to add to the gameplay experience, while still maintaining that Star Wars feel.įor instance, you do not buy R2-D2 and C-3PO from the Jawas. One character used was called the “Kalhar Boss Monster” was based on one of the chess pieces R2 played with in the film, so that was a nice touch. There was also an idea to put a black outline around the characters, but it was decided that the sprites would look too cartoony, so the idea was scrapped. Interestingly enough there wasn’t a whole lot of concept art created because according to Fong, “…everybody knew what the characters looked like.” When it came to developing the game, artist Jon Knoles handled the visual designs for the characters, while Harrison Fong took care of the backgrounds.
And with a new film finally hitting theatres and breaking all kinds of records, one could say that that type of power has not slowed down in the slightest.Īnd to celebrate this very momentous occasion, let’s take a look at a certain series of video games that came out for the Super Nintendo: Super Star Wars, SSW: Empire Strikes Back, and SSW: Return of the Jedi. With those words etched onto a movie screen in 1977, a saga was born.īut it wasn’t a saga for just one generation to enjoy, it was one that was somehow able to transcend that and span across several generations up to this very day.
