[edit] Plot and gameplay
Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back follows closely the standard set by Super Star Wars, with multiple playable characters and Mode 7 quasi-3D vehicle sequences. The controls are very similar to the first game, but feature an enhanced double-jump. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca return as playable characters although the character-select option itself was removed. Unlike the original game, this installment allows each character the use of a primary and secondary weapon. Following one of the Dagobah missions, Luke Skywalker can collect Force Powers for use in later levels. Darth Vader appears as the final boss in this video game.
[edit] Difficulty
This game was known for its high level of difficulty - in response to this concern, a password system was introduced to allow players to proceed from the point in which their game ended and not have to start back at the beginning of the game when they were out of continues. [1]
