Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Released in 1991 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is an exhilarating side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Capcom. As the third installment in the iconic Ghosts 'n Goblins series—and the first not to appear in arcades—it transports players to a dark, fantastical world where knight Arthur must rescue Princess Guinevere and restore peace to the kingdom from the malevolent Emperor Sardius, who has cast a wicked spell reviving the Ghoul Realm.
This game emphasizes precise platforming over run-and-gun action, challenging players with its inventive stages, treacherous enemies, and daunting obstacles. Choose from four difficulty settings—easy, normal, difficult, and professional—and start with up to nine lives, though limited continues keep the stakes high. Across eight diverse levels, known as Quests, Arthur races against the clock to defeat ghouls and conquer formidable Foul Guardians guarding each gate to the next stage.
The adventure spans a variety of haunting environments—from eerie graveyards and abandoned ships to fiery caverns and icy wastelands. The final quests plunge players into Sardius’s formidable castle, culminating in epic battles in the Castle of the Emperor, Hallway of Ghouls, and the Throne Room. Environmental hazards like earthquakes, blizzards, rising sea waves, and avalanches add to the challenge, demanding agility and quick reflexes. Notably, the game features a segment where Arthur scales a rotating palace, reminiscent of classic platformers like Nebulus.
A remake for the Game Boy Advance introduces new stages and an additional game mode, enhancing the classic experience for handheld gamers. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts remains a thrilling test of skill and perseverance
