The Smurfs is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Infogrames and released for the SNES in 1994. Players set out on a rescue mission to save their fellow villagers from the clutches of the evil wizard Gargamel. While the game is widely praised for its lush, colorful 16-bit graphics that faithfully recreate the look of the classic comic series, it is also infamous for its demanding difficulty and unforgiving level design.
How to Play
Navigate through varied environments like the Smurf village, dark forests, and treacherous mountains. You’ll need to rely on precise jumping to avoid enemies and hazards.
- D-pad (Arrow Keys): Move left or right, crouch, or look up
- B button (Z key): Jump
- Y button (X key): Run / Dash
- Start (Enter): Pause the game
Tips
- Watch your momentum: Your character carries a lot of momentum when running, which can easily send you sliding into an enemy or a bottomless pit.
- Collect stars and leaves: Gathering collectibles scattered across the stages is essential for earning extra lives, which you will definitely need for the later levels.
