Super Star Wars: Difference between revisions

[[File:SNES-Super-Star-Wars1tvtropes_5723.jpg|frame|A long time ago, in a 16-bit system...]]

 

 

The plot of the first game closely follows ''[[A New Hope]]'', and consists of 14 levels. The player can control Luke Skywalker (later Han Solo and Chewbacca too), from the Dune Sea of Tatooine, through the Mos Eisley Cantina up until the trench of the first Death Star. The gameplay is essentially this: Luke & Co. is gunning down various [[Mooks]] on each level, while fighting their way to the end of the level, where the [[Boss Fight|boss awaits]] them. In a few of the levels, the player can control vehicles (Luke's speeder, much later his X-Wing), these levels feature and showcase the capabilities of the SNES' then brand new MODE-7 chip, which provides a 3D-like experience. Then the very last level is like an [[First-Person Shooter|FPS]], where the player is up against an endless swarm of TIE Fighters and they have to defeat them by moving a crosshair with a D-Pad and shooting wildly.

 

These games largely had great critical reception, and are regarded some of the best action platformer games made, as well as some of the best movie adaptation games.
