Item Description

Luke Skywalker doesn't simply buy his droids from the Jawas in Super Star Wars. He fights his way up the outside of their sandcrawler, leaping across moving conveyor belts with a blaster in hand, and that one change says everything about how LucasArts and Sculptured Software adapted the 1977 film for the Super Nintendo. The story beats are all here, told in brief cutscenes between levels, but every one of them has been rebuilt as an action stage designed to keep your thumbs busy.

Most of the adventure is side-scrolling run-and-gun platforming across Tatooine and beyond, with upgrades that power up Luke's standard blaster and, once Obi-Wan Kenobi hands it over, a lightsaber for close-quarters work. Later stages put you in control of Han Solo or Chewbacca, each with different abilities. Between the on-foot levels, the game switches perspective entirely for vehicle sequences behind the controls of a landspeeder and an X-wing, using the Super Nintendo's scaling effects to sell the speed. It all builds to the Death Star trench run, with Darth Vader closing in behind you in his TIE fighter. The on-foot stages are crowded with enemies and long drops, and reaching that final run on original hardware still earns a little bragging right.

The soundtrack is a big part of the thrill. Sculptured Software's in-house musician Paul Webb worked from John Williams' original handwritten scores and arranged them for the console's sound chip, so the themes you know from the film arrive with real weight. There are fun touches for close watchers, too: one boss, the Kalhar Boss Monster, is based on one of the chess pieces R2-D2 plays with aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Critics loved it at the time. Electronic Gaming Monthly named it Best Action/Adventure Game of 1992 as well as Best Movie-to-Game, and Nintendo Power ranked it fourth among the year's top Super NES games. It also launched a trilogy, followed by Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 1993 and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in 1994. This is where that run of 16-bit Star Wars began, and still the most satisfying way to blow up the Death Star with a Super Nintendo controller in your hands.
