Canon Linked from 155 articles
Super Star Wars is the first of a series of three Super Nintendo games based on the original three films of the Star Wars series, released November 30, 1992. The plot is based on IV. In 2009 the game was released on the Wii's Virtual Console and on November 17, 2015, it was ported to PlayStation 4 and Vita. The term Super Star Wars can refer to the first game or the entire series. All are essentially platform games, although they all have stages which feature other challenges, such as driving a landspeeder or piloting an X-wing fighter. All three also feature multiple playable characters with different abilities.
The game's manual added a number of names and details not spelled out in the game itself. The Super Star Wars Official Game Secrets guide released separately added even more details.
