Super Star Wars is a challenging action-platformer developed by Sculptured Software and LucasArts, released for the SNES in 1992. Based on the 1977 film, it loosely follows Luke Skywalker’s journey from Tatooine to the Death Star, blending relentless run-and-gun combat with Mode 7 vehicle segments. Known for its steep difficulty and large, detailed sprites, the game lets you blast your way through Jawas, Sand People, and Imperial stormtroopers.
How to play
Shoot, slice, and jump your way through the stages. You begin as Luke Skywalker, but will eventually unlock Chewbacca and Han Solo as playable characters, each with their own unique weapons and traits.
- Movement: Arrow keys
- A / B (Jump and Action): Z and X
- X / Y (Blaster and Special): A and S
- L / R (Look up and down): Q and E
- Start / Select: Enter / Shift
Tips
- Seek Health Upgrades: Keep an eye out for the sword power-up to unlock Luke’s lightsaber, and collect heart icons to permanently extend your health bar.
- Protect Your Blaster Level: Collecting blaster power-ups will upgrade your gun up to the powerful Plasma Seeker, but taking damage will downgrade it. Play defensively to keep your max firepower.
- Master the Slide: Luke can slide by pressing down and jump, giving you a quick evasive move that also damages ground enemies.
