Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is a 1993 side-scrolling action platformer video game developed by Sculptured Software and published by JVC Musical Industries for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The game is based on the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, and is part of the Super Star Wars trilogy. It was followed by two sequels, Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The game follows Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia as they attempt to bring down the Galactic Empire. Players control one of these characters as they battle stormtroopers, AT-ST walkers, TIE Fighters and other enemies while traversing various planets in search of their ultimate goal - a confrontation with Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Along the way, players must make use of various weapons including blasters and lightsabers as well as items such as thermal detonators and force fields.

The gameplay consists of a combination of run-and-gun shooting levels with the occasional side scrolling platforming sections. Each character has their own unique abilities that can be used to progress through levels; Luke can use his lightsaber to deflect blaster shots while Chewbacca can throw objects at enemies. In addition to this, there are also vehicle sequences where players must pilot speeder bikes or X-wings in order to complete certain objectives.

Return of the Jedi features several unique power ups which allow players to increase their strength or gain additional health points. These include Force Shields which protect players from damage for a short period of time and Power Cells which grant extra lives when collected. Additionally, there are bonus levels scattered throughout each world where players can collect coins to purchase additional items from shops or earn extra points when completing certain tasks.

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was praised for its detailed graphics and smooth animations which help bring George Lucas’s universe to life on home consoles. Its soundtrack also received high praise for its faithful recreation of John Williams’s iconic score from the original film trilogy. Ultimately, it stands out among other games released during this era due to its engaging story line and challenging gameplay that will keep fans coming back for more even after completing it once.
