Super Arthur is a popular ROM hack by Lufia for the legendary SNES platformer Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts that rebalances the game’s notorious difficulty. Instead of stripping Arthur down to his boxers after a single hit, the hack transforms your armor into a health system where taking damage simply downgrades your current suit. It also adds several highly requested quality-of-life features, making the punishing quest to rescue Princess Prin-Prin far more accessible for players who want to experience the game without the frustration.
How to play
Your goal is to survive the demon realm and defeat Emperor Sardius. The SNES controls map directly to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move and duck, Z to jump (press twice for a double jump!), and X to attack. Press Enter to Start. The Super Arthur hack adds a massive new feature: you can now hold multiple weapons and cycle through them using the L and R buttons (typically mapped to A and S), giving you the right tool for any situation.
Tips
- Keep your shields up: In this hack, shields are vastly improved and no longer break after blocking projectiles, so use them to safely advance through projectile-heavy sections.
- Up the difficulty: Since the armor changes make Arthur much more durable, the hack’s creator recommends playing on “Professional” difficulty to maintain a balanced challenge.
