Play Super Star Wars (Japan) Online

Super Star Wars came out on the Super Nintendo in 1992, developed by LucasArts. It was one of the earlier SNES titles that tried to capture the scale of a movie, translating the first Star Wars film into a side-scrolling action game. The graphics and sound pushed the hardware, offering a detailed, noisy interpretation of Tatooine and the Death Star.

You control Luke Skywalker through platforming and combat sections, blasting stormtroopers with your blaster and later using a lightsaber. The main goal is to progress through levels based on the film, rescuing Princess Leia and ultimately destroying the Death Star. Signature mechanics include switching between on-foot action and vehicle stages, like piloting an X-wing in first-person trench runs, and navigating screen-by-screen environments filled with enemies and pitfalls. The pacing is intense, and the difficulty is notably high, with demanding jumps and relentless enemy fire. Playing it feels like a relentless, chaotic race through the movie's biggest set pieces.
