Super Star Wars

Super Star Wars is a 1992 video game for the Super NES based on the 1977 film Star Wars and re-released on the Virtual Console in 2009. Super Star Wars generally follows the plot of Star Wars, although some allowances were made to adapt the story to suit an action game. Most of the stages consist of run and gun and platforming gameplay, with several different upgrades available to the standard blaster weapon. Artist Jon Knoles did the visual designs for the characters, while Harrison Fong drew the backgrounds. Fong recounted that he did very little concept drawing before rendering the characters on the computer "because everybody knew what the Star Wars characters looked like." Originally, the game design was planned to give the characters a dark black outline around their bodies. The game was almost completed, and was well into the playtesting phase, but in 1995 LucasArts decided to halt the development and cancel the release. The port features enhanced options for saving, leaderboards and trophies, and modern displays and controllers..
