Item Description

Super Empire Strikes Back picks up where the movie does, on the frozen plains of Hoth, and it does not ease you in. Luke starts out fighting the planet's hostile wildlife and the Empire's probe droids, and before long you are in a snowspeeder for the Battle of Hoth, swooping around Imperial walkers in the kind of Mode 7 flight sequence that made Sculptured Software's Super Star Wars games such a showcase for the Super Nintendo.

This 1993 sequel to Super Star Wars follows The Empire Strikes Back closely, and Luke, Han Solo and Chewbacca each get their turn in the side-scrolling action, with Luke's lightsaber deflecting blaster fire while Han and Chewie blast through Imperial troops. The big new idea arrives on Dagobah: as Luke trains with Yoda he earns a set of Force powers, from healing to levitation, that change how you approach the platforming and the fights for the rest of the adventure. The journey ends where it must, in the depths of Cloud City and a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, with John Williams' music, from the opening crawl to the Imperial March, carrying the drama.

It is also tough in the way 16-bit action games were proud of being tough. Enemies swarm from every direction, platforms hang over long drops, and bosses such as the Wampa demand patience and pattern-reading. Learning when to slash, when to jump and when to save a Force power for the right moment is a big part of the satisfaction, and every stage you clear feels earned.

Many players consider this the high point of LucasArts' Super Star Wars trilogy, with richer stages and more varied play than the first game and the most dramatic chapter of the saga to work with. Between Super Star Wars and Super Return of the Jedi, it is the centerpiece of a Super Nintendo Star Wars shelf and a thrilling way to relive the film with a controller in hand.
