I was completely obssessed with these games when I was a kid. Beat them all in the Jedi difficulty. All three of them rewarded me with the same message: "You're a true Jedi Knight". Yeah, that showed them who's boss lmao.
Yeah these old games rarely rewarded the player with anything other than bragging rights. Still, I felt pretty accomplished beating RotJ (even if it was the easiest one lol)
@@Jinx_Skeel lol! I was the prime age and target audience for Kotor when it came out, but I wasn't into rpgs back then. I was hoping for more of an action game like Jedi Outcast. Then when I did eventually like rpgs it was too hard to go back to Kotor because it seemed so dated by that point
On the PS4/PS5, the version of Super Star Wars on there has a gold trophy called "Master Jedi." You're required to beat the game, which is already difficult by default, on Jedi difficulty without losing any lives. ... Even with quick saves and such, it was maddening - especially inside the Sand Crawler. I managed to eventually snag that ultra rare trophy... but don't be me, kids. Save your sanity.
The checkpoints help a lot, but the last two stages are troublesome if you don’t know to press the “speed up” button. Finally managed circa 2004 to beat it legit, but don’t think I’ll even find it a fun level.
My older brother and I played these when they came out. We had a blast! Yes, super difficult but man, we had fun. Just like the movies, Empire is the best. Followed by Jedi, and finally the first one. My bro had to beat the snow speeder level, I could never do it. I was the one to beat Vader at the end. Good times, back then this was the only way to enjoy Star Wars along with the comics.
These need to be remastered and rereleased. With all of the retro arcade style games that have been coming out based on both licensed and older properties, this trilogy is would perfect.
@seanmalloy0528 alot of modern ports of older games have a feature that progressively auto saves every second, so you can "rewind" the game if you die, rather than getting a game over
@ just keep playing the game and you’ll get better. Be patient. I got killed so many times. Luke Skywalker is the best choice character, especially after he gets his Force powers. The double jump is also a life saver (literally). The easiest game is this trilogy is the the first, while the hardest is the second, by far. 😉
“Let’s not pretend the originals are perfect” while showing a dumb scene Lucas added to the special edition of return. Obviously I don’t think the originals are perfect but come on😂
@@WesDoesGamesthe shown clip would've still been a clip that was added to one of the og trilogy re-releases, and not the original release. I'm not personally bothered, just pointing that out
Kind of wild how they just used IG-88, 4-LOM and the other bounty hunters as basic enemies. Also you’re right about that alien robot on the Death Star not looking like a Star Wars droid: I think that robot literally appeared in a Doctor Who episode. Anyway, great video! These games have a special place in my heart… even if they give me war flashbacks lol
@ No no, I mean a robot EXACTLY like it has appeared in a Doctor Who episode; I think the only differences were that it was slightly less spindly and had blue eyes.
Awesome video! Vader's delicate lightsaber swing is taken directly from the Empire Strikes Back film (the first wide shot after Luke gets up from being knocked down early in the fight) - it was such a distinct movement in the game, and then while watching the film and noticing it I couldn't believe the developers actually referenced the film choreography in the game sprites - gotta give them props for that!
The reason why they didn't reuse the regular storm trooper sprites from Super Star Wars in Super Empire Strikes Back was becaues Cartridge Space was at a premium and Lucasarts didn't go with a publisher that would have given them a cartridge with more space. They had to fit everything within 1megabyte for Super Star Wars, 1.5 Megabytes for Super Empire Strikes Back and 2 Megabytes for Super Return of the Jedi. Also the Games were developed by Scuptured Software not JVC, Lucasarts didn't have much in the way of publishing or development ability to make console games. It looks like JVC wasn't that giving with Cart Size especially with non Star wars games. There were games that had 4 Megabytes in 1994 and 6 Megabytes by 1995, They Released a game that was 1 Megabyte in 1995 albiet with battery Backup.
@WesDoesGames For Cartridge games especially it was more space efficient to swap a set of sprites to a separate palette, preferably one already being used, than make have a separate set of sprites. Dagobah has pallette swaps of enemies from Hoth as well. Many old games used a lot of tricks to conserve space.
These games were really good, but yes, the difficulty was so damn unforgiving at times, it made me wonder if the developers hated kids/gamers or something, haha. I don't know how I beat Super Return of the Jedi back in the day, especially as the final flying segment made it hard to determine what was a wall, and what was an opening, lol. I tried replaying Super RotJ again a few years ago, and couldn't even get past level 2, haha, nicely done on the video and beating the games!
The Super Star Wars Games are still on Top of my list of favorite Star Wars Games of all time cause I played the hell out of it as a kid and I still do whenever I put hands on my old snes
9:00 That's the Bounty Hunter Zukus. He was with his Droid 4-Lom in the Bounty Hunter scene with Boba Fett, Dengar, Bosk, and IG-88 when Vader put the bounty on the Falcon.
I remember renting the first one as a kid and all it really took for me to love a Super Nintendo game back then was for it to have much better visuals, bigger sprites and smoother controls then its NES counterpart and it delivered in spades.
Comeon man, the bug guy on Bespin is 4-Lom! I also never knew that so many Jawas needed to be murdered before I played these games lol. I absolutley loved the SSW Trilogy when it came out, and still play it to this day. I just wished the Prequel trilogy got the same treatment on the GBA because those games weren't that good. If you really want to become a Jedi, try playing Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back on NES. Throw Star Wars on Famicom in there for good measure. This was an entertaining video.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, this style of gameplay would have been sick for the prequels. I think that New Droid Army game was probably the closest
14:03 Vader's sprite being unchanged from Super Empire Strikes Back, still reflecting the orange glow from the carbonite chamber, has bothered me for DECADES. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
The titles honestly crack me up. Sure, "Super Star Wars" sounds good enough, just like other SNES games from pre-established series having "Super" in the title like "Super Metroid"... but then you have "Super The Empire Strikes Back" and "Super Return of the Jedi" which just sound silly. God, imagine if the first one was called "Super A New Hope."
I had an NES back in the day, and Atari 2600, 5800. I later rented a Sega Saturn, then bought PlayStation in the late nineties with an import modchip. When the PS2 was released, had to get it and so I did. I installed an import modchip in it. Then came a Sega Dreamcast. Owning both at the same time along with the OG PS. I skipped getting an Xbox because I bought a PS2, and not until some years of owning four PS2's and a second Sega Dreamcast, I picked up another PlayStation at a local thrift store with another modchip, and after already owning an Xbox 360, and also having an Xbox One a few years later, but didn't buy any PS3, PS4, nor PS5. Maybe I will someday. Although I like Nintendo, I never stuck with Nintendo. Dunno why really... No Switch. No N64, no Cube. No Wii. No DS. Only one original black and white Game Boy after my original Nintendo Entertainment System with Light Zapper. Yet, I had friends who owned, N64, Nintendo Cube, Sega Master System, Genesis, Atari Jaguar, Atari 5600, Turbo Grafix 16, and 3DO. At one point I borrowed a friend's Super Nintendo. He did not have Super Star Wars trilogy so i never got to play it. I now want to play it. 😅
I beat Super Empire Strikes Back so many times. I loved that game. SWPMSS is the code to get to the last level, I still remember it. First time I played Super RotJ was well after N64 was out. It seemed so easy and primitive. Got to nearly the end with no deaths then had to leave my girlfriends house where I was playing.
I loved these games. The original Nintendo Star Wars games were awful, and so hard. These games were achievable if you were dedicated. And they rocked! I have such fond memories. Lots of flipping. What people have to understand is that there were so few good Star Wars games. These were the games that made you feel like you were playing with the toys we grew up with, but they had come to life in epic fashion. These days that's an easy experience to get. At this time, it was a dream come true.
For me, the n64 games, particularly rogue squadron really drew me into the star wars world. The Super Star Wars games were probably more true to the films but I couldn't appreciate them till later in life because they were so difficult 😅
These games are really cool but, as pointed out, quite challenging. For those who want to lessen the challenge: The very similar Star Wars Trilogy - Apprentice of the Force for GBA is also a great 2d game about Ep. 4-6
I love Jar Jar.... _sees your views, looks at my views on my Super Star Wars longplay videos... sulks.._ " _Somehow Palpatine has returned, and he learned how to dab!_ "
Oh yes. Luke getting chased by gremlins on Tatooine was the most memorable scene in the entire saga. Super Star Wars and Wizard of Oz on the SNES are the most accurate movie based games ever made.
You didn’t mention that the first one lacks a save function. You need the skill of a speedrunner to actually beat it without starting over from the beginning each time.
I remember playing Super Empire back in 1995 at a friend's house. I hate it cause I sucked so bad. I thought I was just terrible at games in general, but it's good to know it wasn't just me and the game was actually difficult for most people.
Empire was definitely the hardest, then a new hope, then return of the Jedi. I beat return of the Jedi as a kid but could barely get passed the first stages on the other two
All three of these games were criminally hard, I love challenging games but these games made me want to break the controller in half, they really weren't that much fun because of it
You got it wrong; Boba Fett didn't spend 30 years in the Sarlacc. He was in there a relatively sort time. Dengar found him not long after the battle having blasted his way out of the beast, killing it in the process. It's all right there in the 1998 novel "The Mandalorian Armor". You should check your sources.
I make pixel based mixed media art and am working on Jedi rn. Consider me a brother in arms because the shading on Vader being from Empire drives me absolutely bonkers
To quote something that usually MASSIVELY annoys me, but... All three of these games are the 'Dark Souls' of the Super Star Wars trilogy. And probably the best Star Wars games that don't have the words "Rogue" or "Squadron" in the title. Wow, that does also mean six of the top ten Star Wars games ever released were Nintendo exclusives.
Super RotJ is the only one I ever was able to beat as a kid. ESB, was wayyyyyyyy tooo hard, I don't think I ever made it past the wampa. The first one was better, but I seem to remember it had no save system... so with my limited video game time per session I could never beat it.
Back in the day we made due with the games we had lol I played the hell out of these games. Well, the first two. Jedi was a rental. Never did beat them on amy setting above easy though, considering that was hard as hell as is.
"No other game hated their players like this" I don´t think it was as hard as contra or mega-man, but souls like creators probably developed their fetish with these games.
It’s crazy the easy ass games I was not able to beat as a 7 year old….yet besides being able to blow up the Death Star… I was able to get thru this game. Except the fucking Death Star…. Redo that whole ass game for one trail and error task.
I loved these games. Though I've yet to play Super ESB, I can imagine its gameplay is as ball-breakingly challenging as the other two. Last time I checked, Super Star Wars was the only one of them available digitally on PlayStation Store, which is an utter shame and pretty baffling. They were all made by the same developer, weren't they? Why have just one of available digitally when you can include all three? One of my fondest memories is getting to the Death Star trench final level of Super Star Wars on my best friend's old CRT television screen that would flash bright white for several seconds each time you were hit. That meant that a single hit could cause a chain reaction in which you're subsequently hit repeatedly until you die because you can't see what's happening on the screen. This practically forced (tee hee) me to beat it without taking a single hit, but it was incredibly satisfying when I did it because it felt like I had done the impossible.
15:49 For the love of god, what crime could possibly render such punishment? I love Star Wars. I read the Zahn trilogy in the early '90s when it came out. But after beating Star Wars on Game Boy I knew how masochistic these designers can be, knowing that people will buy the game anyway because of the franchise. If you really want to hurt yourself, do the Star Trek games.
Visually, I loved these games as a kid... but the gameplay and difficulty was way way too high. As for games that hate the player more than Super Star Wars Trilogy... Mega Man franchise on the NES is one of the top.
@@WesDoesGames exactly. I agree 100%. The X series were actually enjoyable, and some levels really cozy. Sure there were some levels and bosses that were wayyyy too much (MMX5 Virus Stage insta-kills, MMX4 Sigma has 3 fucking forms), but mostly they were amazing. X1, X3 and X6 are my favourites.
@@WesDoesGames yes, the black giant robots, they where absolutely dark troopers from the dark forces game, a detail that i absolutely would love if it was true
Hang on. The originals films were perfect until George Lucas decided to 'improve' them. In all seriousness, these games are great... on paper but dear lord the difficulty. I've beaten plenty of NES hard games but these are built different. I think the only way I ever revisit them is if someone creates a hack that eliminates enemy respawning. Someone did this with the first 2 Ninja Gaiden games so I know it's got to be possible.
@WesDoesGames I cant tell if your reply makes me feel old or not lol. But I just replayed it on Switch and its every bit as good as I remember. After those and the SNES games and Jedi Academy 2 i dont think I 'love' any SW game but there are a ton that i find real entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed Force Unleashed; Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire... probably a ton more (there are a ton) But I truly loved these SNES ones.
The best version of these games was on Game Gear. What GG RotJ lacks in graphics and sound, it also lacks in stupid bullshit spam. It's almost like a Castlevania when you play Leia with the whip.
I remember these games from when I was a kid and two things , yes these Games are criminally hard. Lastly the original Star Wars is AWESOME the clip you showed was from the Special Editions which are crap.
Three of the best Star Wars games ever. I played them nonstop back in the day. I still rewatch gamer videos of people playing them. Lucasarts should remaster them and rerelease them and make a BAJILLION smackers.

All three of these games are the 'Dark Souls' of the Super Star Wars trilogy.
And probably the best Star Wars games that don't have the words "Rogue" or "Squadron" in the title. Wow, that does also mean six of the top ten Star Wars games ever released were Nintendo exclusives.
The 90s were the best period for Star Wars games
Try the indy super nes game, the market fight will get bloody annoying real fast due to the music, i use to turn it off through that section.
Love thee games wish they would remaster them for today's consoles
It took me anf a buddy of mine the better half of a week to get thru Super Empire Strikes Back.
It's a Super hard time
Mode 7 isn't a software feature, it's a hardware feature.
Thanks for the correction
Super RotJ is the only one I ever was able to beat as a kid. ESB, was wayyyyyyyy tooo hard, I don't think I ever made it past the wampa. The first one was better, but I seem to remember it had no save system... so with my limited video game time per session I could never beat it.
That was a force kick.
I liked the video... these games were cozy.
Definitely
Back in the day we made due with the games we had lol I played the hell out of these games. Well, the first two. Jedi was a rental. Never did beat them on amy setting above easy though, considering that was hard as hell as is.
"No other game hated their players like this" I don´t think it was as hard as contra or mega-man, but souls like creators probably developed their fetish with these games.
I can definitely see the connection, especially with the creative but horrifying monsters
I admit I did use the Unlimited Thermal Detanater codes in all 3 games.
No judgment here
Good Job… I made my son play Super Star Wars recently …yes, Video game child abǔse is what i do. ☕️😂💯
It’s crazy the easy ass games I was not able to beat as a 7 year old….yet besides being able to blow up the Death Star… I was able to get thru this game. Except the fucking Death Star…. Redo that whole ass game for one trail and error task.
That's crazy
I loved these games. Though I've yet to play Super ESB, I can imagine its gameplay is as ball-breakingly challenging as the other two. Last time I checked, Super Star Wars was the only one of them available digitally on PlayStation Store, which is an utter shame and pretty baffling. They were all made by the same developer, weren't they? Why have just one of available digitally when you can include all three?
One of my fondest memories is getting to the Death Star trench final level of Super Star Wars on my best friend's old CRT television screen that would flash bright white for several seconds each time you were hit. That meant that a single hit could cause a chain reaction in which you're subsequently hit repeatedly until you die because you can't see what's happening on the screen. This practically forced (tee hee) me to beat it without taking a single hit, but it was incredibly satisfying when I did it because it felt like I had done the impossible.
Those sound like great memories
15:49 For the love of god, what crime could possibly render such punishment?
I love Star Wars. I read the Zahn trilogy in the early '90s when it came out. But after beating Star Wars on Game Boy I knew how masochistic these designers can be, knowing that people will buy the game anyway because of the franchise.
If you really want to hurt yourself, do the Star Trek games.
I look forward to the n64 games and most of the PS2 ones... After that, it may become a bit of a slog, lol
I beat all these as a kid.... I tried to play them recently at 50 years old I got destroyed😂😂
It's quite an accomplishment to beat any of these once
Fallen order) I'm the hardest Star Wars game ever created
Super Star wars) Hello there
Was Fallen Order hard? I breezed through it pretty easy and I'm not particularly good
I played about one minute of Super Star Wars and said "F this game". Horrible nonsense.
Lol
Visually, I loved these games as a kid... but the gameplay and difficulty was way way too high.
As for games that hate the player more than Super Star Wars Trilogy... Mega Man franchise on the NES is one of the top.
I was always an X over original series Mega Man player for this reason, lol
@@WesDoesGames exactly. I agree 100%. The X series were actually enjoyable, and some levels really cozy. Sure there were some levels and bosses that were wayyyy too much (MMX5 Virus Stage insta-kills, MMX4 Sigma has 3 fucking forms), but mostly they were amazing. X1, X3 and X6 are my favourites.
idk if someone already said so but those where dark troopers at the end!!!!!!
The giant robots before Luke fights Vader?
@@WesDoesGames yes, the black giant robots, they where absolutely dark troopers from the dark forces game, a detail that i absolutely would love if it was true
Hang on. The originals films were perfect until George Lucas decided to 'improve' them.
In all seriousness, these games are great... on paper but dear lord the difficulty. I've beaten plenty of NES hard games but these are built different. I think the only way I ever revisit them is if someone creates a hack that eliminates enemy respawning. Someone did this with the first 2 Ninja Gaiden games so I know it's got to be possible.
Yeah, get rid of about half the enemies and it'd be perfect
You're f***ing hilarious 😅😅😅
✨😎✨
"Somehow Palpatine Returns" is the greatest Star Wars meme ever.
I actually beat empire when i was 8, no idea how 😂
You're a wizard
These are The best SW games after KOTOR. And we were owning this game when we were, like, 10... it wasnt that hard
Never played Kotor but probably will before the remake
@WesDoesGames I cant tell if your reply makes me feel old or not lol.
But I just replayed it on Switch and its every bit as good as I remember.
After those and the SNES games and Jedi Academy 2 i dont think I 'love' any SW game but there are a ton that i find real entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed Force Unleashed; Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire... probably a ton more (there are a ton)
But I truly loved these SNES ones.
The first 20 seconds of a star wars fan making a video and they trash star wars. What a surprise :P.
It's possible to love something and be critical of it
This is the new Trend...make fun of the old Titles.
I beat Super Star Wars and Super Return back in the day but FUCK Super Empire. It's ridiculous
The Empire truly did strike back
The best version of these games was on Game Gear. What GG RotJ lacks in graphics and sound, it also lacks in stupid bullshit spam.
It's almost like a Castlevania when you play Leia with the whip.
I had no idea this was on Game Gear! I would have loved that as a kid. The only game I remember having for it was a crappy Sonic spin off
I have NO love for the empire strikes back and ROTJ is fucking insanely difficult as fuck and I only completed it with cheats lol
I remember these games from when I was a kid and two things , yes these Games are criminally hard. Lastly the original Star Wars is AWESOME the clip you showed was from the Special Editions which are crap.
Lol no argument from me here. I still have that VHS boxset with the Vader stormtroopers and Yoda faces
How am i two inches taller than Luke fuckin Skywalker!?
hes pretty short for a storm trooper
Judge him by his size, do you?
Why are you referencing special edition content as “original” and using it as evidence the OT isn’t perfect???????
I see what you mean, I probably could have used a better example
It's still the OT and how George Lucas "vision" was supposed to be.
Deal with it.
Like!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I beat all of these. On easy
😅
Three of the best Star Wars games ever. I played them nonstop back in the day. I still rewatch gamer videos of people playing them. Lucasarts should remaster them and rerelease them and make a BAJILLION smackers.
A trilogy port with a rewind feature would be great, but I imagine there's probably a licensing issue with jvc or whomever
Fart noise
