Sonic Blast Man is a side-scrolling beat ’em up released for the SNES in 1993 by Taito. Evolving from an arcade punching machine, this home console adaptation turns the titular superhero’s heavy-hitting antics into a full brawler. Players punch their way through waves of street thugs, robots, and aliens across multiple stages, while classic arcade-style bonus rounds challenge you to destroy targets like a giant crab or a falling meteor.
How to Play
The objective is to fight through side-scrolling levels, defeating bosses at the end of each stage to save Earth from an alien invasion. As a SNES game, the default browser controls are mapped as follows: use the Arrow Keys to move (D-pad), X to attack (Y button), Z to jump (B button), and A / S for special moves (X / A buttons). Press Enter to Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Use throws for crowd control: Grappling an enemy and throwing them into others will knock down groups and grant you brief invincibility during the animation.
- Save your Dynamite Punches: Your screen-clearing special attack is limited. Keep them in reserve for boss encounters or when you are completely surrounded.
- Mash efficiently in bonus stages: The classic arcade punching segments require rapid button mashing and directional rotation. Focus on a steady rhythm to maximize your damage output before time runs out.
