This game, prefixed SUPER, is a totally new and updated version of
Capcom's famous arcade game Ghouls 'n Ghosts, itself sequel of
Ghosts 'n Goblins. Once again, the player takes control
of King Arthur and he must rescue his beloved princess kidnapped by
Loki, the lord of evil and his army of demons. Levels are varied and huge. Arthur starts,
as usual, in a dark and haunted cemetery but stages rapidly change and bring him to
magnificent locations: from a dismounted sea throwing huge waves in the air to evil ghost
ships infested with floating spirits. As usual, new weapons can be collected by cracking
chests open. Arthur's only defense is his armor and it only offers a thin protection.
However, new ones can be collected, like the copper armor (green) or the gold armor allowing
him to use a special attack by charging it up in a way similar to Irem's R*type. Other items,
such as shields, can also be collected and will protect our hero against frontal
hits. Another interesting feature introduced here by Capcom is the double
jump. Yes, King Arthur can jump twice in mid-air. This may sounds weird
and unusual at first, but it quickly becomes second nature and adds a lot to the
game's experience and gameplay.

Teaser text from the American version:
You are Arthur, the boldest bladesman alive. You are cought in a dangerous
quest. Fiendish foes and grim demons are about to hurl disaster your way!
You must save the wondrous Princess Guinevere. But beware! The reeking
rules of the forbidden land can call forth evil and destruction. Who knows
what creeping, leaping terrors haunt this dripping realm!
You may lose your armor and your strength. You may be hexed. You may
become a baby, a ducj, or a skeleton! But you are never without a weapon.
And Magic awaits to help you.
Destroy the withches, ogres and ghosts. Escape the snapping skulls and ghostly
ghouls. And save Guinevere from the mysterious depths of the Phantom Zone
in Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts!

This game is pure art. Everything in Chohmakaimura nears perfection:
detailed and amazing graphics, excellent music, awesome gameplay. Capcom at its best and finest.
Sadly, the difficulty level is out of this world,
understand here that the game is extremely hard and frustrating.
But isn't it what Ghouls and Ghosts has always been about ? and why
we always get back to it, a smile on our face and eyes filled up with
hope ?
Easily one of my favorite platform game for the Super Famicom system.
