SNES Longplay [151] Super Star Wars

Played by: xRavenXP

A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY!

Longplay of game Super Star Wars, released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo based on the movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and follows the plot of this movie, although some allowances were made to adapt the story to suit an action game.

It is a very good game and that has a certain loyalty to the plot of the film, where our hero Luke Skywalker way to becoming a Jedi Knight following the advice of the Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, his two friends robots (R2-D2 and C3PO) and also travels through space along with Han Solo and Chewie (also playable characters). It is a simple game but very faithful to the film, find games based on movies is very difficult but with merit this could be one of the best and this movie is one of my favorites of all times). Played on Jedi Difficult with core improvements in cutscenes, intro and outro sounds (Bizhawk). -

Wow, it's been such a long time since I saw the old movie, I had completely forgotten about the part where Luke stormed the Sand Crawler, massacred a bunch of Jawas and droids, and fought a hideous monster to save R2-D2.

Happy 45th anniversary to the movie.
Happy 30th anniversary to this game.

My favorite scene in A New Hope has always been where Luke goes to the Mos Eisley bar and blasts the hell out of everything.

Thanks to modern technology I am finally able to see the end of this god forbidden game!

[Pholiage]

Luke's exact words "Who would slaughter jawas?" You Luke you are slaugthering them!!

[srj]

"And these blast points! Too accurate for sand people. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."


"Uh...actually, that was me, Obi-Wan. I had to fight my way through the sandcrawler to defeat the Lava Beast Jawenko."

This is so nostalgic. It takes me back to the times before the prequels when Star Wars was still shrouded in mystery and excitement.

I love watching these videos of old games, because they evoke an almost "sixth sense". A sense that really brings back all sorts of thoughts, feelings, memories, and sensations of when I was young in the 90's. This reminds me of how relaxing and stress-free childhood was... saturday morning cartoons, trips to toys r us, watching basketball NBA games on a hot lazy sunday afternoon with my family... days we can't get back..

This video in particular reminds me of when I was starting to get into star wars... I was obsessed with R2D2.. loved him. Just the calmness of an old galaxy in the middle of no where in the desert.. great times.

Fun Fact: The boss fight at 23:39 was actually the same creature R2-D2 used to beat Chewbacca, resulting in that famous scene about how Wookies are known for pulling people's arms out of their sockets when they lose.

The force was really strong with this game damn it was hard without mercy but still awesome game

[minutemovies]

My favourite moment in the movie : 5:40 Luke is enjoying a good bottle of wine all by himself in the desert, when suddenly, C3PO creeps up on him and asks for help.

[captaincomic]

"Be careful for the Empire might Strike Back!" Ah, the benefit of hindsight.

[JSHRXaos_Realm]

This game taught my generation tolerance to frustration: you don't beat this game; you learn how to dominate it, which takes time and lots of dying!

[damnson]

Holy shit, this game is way more badass than the original movie

-Luke's first major action, rather than bitching about staying on another harvest, is to kill a Sarlacc single-handed.
-The Jawas are zealots of the evil technophagous god Jawenko, who dwells inside the mobile sandcrawler fortress and spews lava for his defense
-Obi-wan is actively hiding in a cave from the sand people and their explosive Banthas
-Luke gains Han's respect by just slaughtering every guy in the bar who looks at him wrong, including the giant monster they keep as a bouncer
-Mos Eisley has a secret killer robot factory under its surface, and there is no way to get to Docking Bay 94 except through it
-The Falcon willingly diverts to the Death Star because SNES Han has balls the size of mangoes
-Chewie straightup jumps over like 50 TIE fighters until they run out of them in the hangar
-The most common defensive measure on the detention level are crushers, meaning Han trekked through miles of pureed Bothan to get his slampiece out
-Rather than swinging just one piss-poor chasm, Luke and presumably Leia make an unassisted multi-thousand-foot climb up the Death Star interior to shut off the tractor beam themselves by shooting it until it breaks
-Obi-wan doesn't visibly die, meaning he might still be wrecking shit on the Death Star when it blows up
-Luke's X-wing is the only one we see at the Death Star, meaning he took on the entire Imperial defense grid alone and won

I wish this was the movie I'd seen growing up.

This was a game from my childhood. Used to spend summer days playing it consistently. Because it didn't have passwords like the other 2 Super Star Wars games, you had to memorize the early levels and get better at rushing through them. There was a bit of trial and error involved with reaching the later levels before you got tired and had to shut the SNES off. There's a couple hard parts before you get to the lightsaber and find the trick where you can get to 99 lives with the secret cave, after that the rest of the game gets much harder. I remember beating it when I was 16 and what a feeling that was to finish this game after so much trial and error and memorizing the levels. This was the kind of difficult game that was rewarding and a real challenge to master and beat.

[supermariofan]

I don’t remember this ever happening on Mos Eisley:
Storm Trooper: May we see your identification please?
Obi Wan about to use the force: You don’t need to— *Luke jumps out of landspeeder and slices the fuck out of every storm trooper on Mos Eisley* mind then.

Must be in the Very Special Edition

Frickin loved this game... ugh. So much nostalgia. It reminds me of my early days in the early 1990s first discovering Star Wars.

[Webbman]

For those of you having problems with this game there is a trick to easily farm 99 lives. The catch is you have to make it to level 5 where you fight the sand people and meet Obi-Wan. When you make it to the second floating rock section jump into pit while hugging the left side of the cliff. You will find a hidden cave. Shoot all over the place in this cave to make a bunch of lives appear. Then jump into the pit to lose a life and respawn. The checkpoint is right at the top of this cliff so you can immediately repeat the process over again until you max out your lives count. I did this and made beating the game a lot less frustrating since I had as many chances as needed to learn the levels.

This game is like Super Ghouls N Ghosts; every inch of the game is a battle. I used to rent this game when it came out and I loved it even though it is brutally hard.
