SNES Longplay [018] Super Ghouls´n´Ghosts

[@sammylane21]

One of the most enraging, controller breaking most beautifully designed SNES games and it still is to this day.

[@michaelstroman5213]

Yup

[@GodofWar891]

Of course....😊😊😊

[@Xesh001]

This game has some of the best BGM of any SNES game. I especially like the music on the ice level.

[@ecstasy5317]

I know this is an old post but I said the same thing. The ice level's soundtrack has a spacious rich tone to it, especially noticeable with a decent stereo.

[@Me41687]

@@ecstasy5317 bro but the castle theme though. That one is straight up fire!

[@protoroc]

@@ecstasy5317 SNES had a fantastic sound chip.

[@ecstasy5317]

@@protoroc I still agree to thIs day with you even thou modern videogames can of course reproduce a much higher audio reproduction. I always said if you want the experience of the games you liked or want you have to get the original game, the console and preferred controller. I'm still in the process of buying more parts and games for both SNES and NES systems. People who enjoyed the Sega Genesis will no doubt do the same exact thing.✌️

[@SPIOoner]

the ONLY game HARDER rhat this one is BATTLETOADS

[@BronyNumber4096]

6:06 Cockatrice 11:51 Coral Golem 18:35 Elephant Caterpillar 22:35 Hydra 26:55 Ice Golem 28:54 Asutaroto 31:59 Asutaroto and Nebiroth 34:34 MISSION 2: Find the Bracelet. "Sure, we coulda made 14 levels; but instead, let's just have you have to play the levels you just went through ALL FRIGGIN' OVER AGAIN!!" Well, you're fighting the same bosses all over again, so there's no point in time stamping _this_ round of boss fights... except this one: 1:05:05 Sardius (final boss)

[@thecowboy2]

Look up the phrase "rage quit" and you find a picture of this game, among others.

[@thecheekibreekiguy5048]

thecowboy2 I often rage quit this game

[@UncleBiscuits97]

thecowboy2 actually, this version was probably the easiest version of the game. Did you ever play the nes version? Now THAT game was fucking rage inducing. The genesis one was pretty hard to.

[@GamePlayMetal]

UncleBiscuits79 There is no "nes version" or "genesis version", these were the previous games in the series ;) The nes had ghosts and goblins, which was *insanely* difficult indeed, and the genesis had Ghouls n Ghosts which is a bit more difficult than super Ghouls n Ghosts (which is quite fair I think) ;)

[@thecheekibreekiguy5048]

Game Play - 8bit Heavy Metal Ghouls and Ghosts is *easy*

[@Bloodreign1]

+UncleBiscuits79 Arcade version of the first game makes the NES version look like a piece of cake, quite frustrating.

[@Icy_vixen]

1:06:59 "Thank you for saving me, but the princess is in another castle." Just imagine

[@44bigfreeze]

*Takes out the SNES cartridge and repeatedly smashes it until nothing is left*

[@bluecoolboy4755]

This isn't super Mario brothers

[@Icy_vixen]

Alden Syahmi I am really making a joke.

[@bluecoolboy4755]

It's more like finding a toad in the abandon castle in ghouls and ghost " saying thank you for saving me, but the princess is in another castle

[@tedpilledtonysoprano5512]

You can easily kill Sardius *without* the Bracelet if you level skip with passwords, so Prin Prin is just a lying ho.

[@Typhlosion4President]

I can't even get past the first fucking level.

[@txking2oo4]

Yeah no shit, tell me about it. I thought maybe I was one of the few.

[@michaelfarrell4824]

Maybe because you don't use cheats like this video

[@Yolo-pt6jl]

Typhlosion4President this dude must be insane to play this game. It's f**king impossible. Okay, not impossible, but very hard. If he can beat this game on the highest difficulty, I dare him to play NES Sliver Surfer and beat it.

[@shyguysvault1735]

You can't? I can help you, if you want?

[@InternalMind]

It is possible to play the game without cheats, it's no big deal you just gotta stop eating dumb junk food and have a brain...

[@tailsfan109_SonicSFM_Gamer]

I just beat this game on Professional mode for the first time ever today, makes me pretty happy. :)

[@44bigfreeze]

Dude that's amazing

[@xarlipalomo]

I beat it on Professional too 6 years later, and now that I know how hard it is... congrats

[@TBrown17]

Man, this gives me so many memories. Thank you for completing such a hard as Hell game without any cheats, codes, or EVER getting hit. You sir are a master at this game.

[@mattmolarthompson8529]

Super Ghouls and Ghosts may be one of the hardest games ever, but it's also more possible to finish the game with the SNES Mini. ScHlAuChi. You're amazing! Great gameplay. 👍

[@TheKingdomOfDragons]

even tho Sega had the closest version to the arcade .. i always liked SNES's version for the quality music and sound effects

[@tedpilledtonysoprano5512]

Arcade ports: Sega's bread and butter all the way up to the Dreamcast. But arcade games are meant to be played in short bursts. Sega leaned into it, and we got loads of fighters and racing games, not much else.

[@legendarypeternorm]

The great thing about that gold armor besides of course the charge shots is that every time you fire a charged shot your invincible for a few seconds. If you actually keep spamming that charge shot (depending on timing) through each stage even to kill enemies that only take one hit, you can actually succeed in owning each stage without taking a hit.

[@shyguysvault1735]

Mr Peter I only used charged shot on red aremer ace at level 3 lol

[@ryanphoenix3205]

22:58; that was just epic, using your own dragon against the three-headed Hydra (dragon-like creature)

[@ICEGOD2]

The things a man will do for a woman. I hope beyond all hope that the princess puts that shit on Arthur like a porn star running through the game twice over.

[@ZorotheGallade]

I love this game. First of all, it's a direct sequel and it shows. Second, the graphics are gorgeous. Third, it's absolutely brutal. I mean, in the Arcade version it kicks off with the princess getting MURDERED. The freaking legions of Hell are out for your blood, but YOU are also out for theirs in vengeance. Fourth, the level design. Daaaang I still get goosebumps from how the first stage transitions from a graveyard to the sea, suddenly taking away your footing and making surviving a deal of precise platforming that gets more important as you get less and less secure footing and preparing you for level 2 proper.

[@ProfessorGopher2030]

Man, the graphics give an AMAZING demonstration of what the Super Nintendo was capable of!

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

Complete with slowdown, like many early SNES titles

[@greensun1334]

Considered the fact that it's from '91, it's even more impressive.

[@eightcoins4401]

​@@joeyjo-joshabadu9636 And not just during mode 7 parts

[@getsufuma2597]

1:16:05 "The End..?" Please don't make me finish the game again to find out

[@Yolo-pt6jl]

Getsuu Fuma me too. I don't want to go through all that torture again.

[@TM-vd3df]

"another settlement needs your help"

[@eyitsmattyyy616]

Getsuu Fuma I would’ve loved for there to be more levels honestly

[@ldchappell1]

Talk about flashback. I was addicted to this game back in 1994. I got through about 80% of the game but got stuck and couldn't go beyond that point. It's one of the best SNES games.

[@greensun1334]

My favourite game of the series, without a doubt. The graphics, sound, music and gameplay are great. The sometimes occuring slowdown can be helpful, because the game is quite hard, a trademark of the series. But I managed to finish it!

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

Dark Souls: I'm the hardest, most impossible game ever made. Super Ghouls N' Ghosts: hold my ale, sir.

[@Demiath]

Despite never having finished it (never made it past the first few levels), I have a lot of fond memories of this brutal SNES title. The new PSP version is very beautiful, too...

[@Slayermetallica69]

90's equivalent to dark souls

[@Bloodreign1]

This game eats Dark Souls for lunch, there is no seconds because there is nothing of Dark Souls left to eat.

[@davidsoundremixer.7861]

Yes, the father.

[@Kyosukedono]

WRONG! Dark Souls is a kiddie pool compared to this. Ghost and Goblins is the fucking ocean.

[@darthwyvvern]

You got that backwards sir. Dark souls is based off of this game

[@MMDelta9]

I remember this game as being next to impossible when I was a kid. And you make it look so easy.

[@franciscovalenzuela773]

Pedazo Juego de infancia, en la consola jugando, nunca logré dármelo vuelta ya que no lo podía guardar o se calentaba el transformador.. Espectacular Final para la infancia de todos nosotros.. Saludos!!

[@pizzaparker1651]

I gotta say, whoever this ScHlAuChi is, he's got mad skill. Never gets hit, uses I-frames to his advantage, gets all the points he possibly can. My hat's off to him. And to top it off, he lets himself get turned into a girl multiple times just to show off!

[@RolyWestYT]

I can't believe how flawlessly you played through this!!!

[@CasiniLoogi]

Save states is a wonderful thing

[@allissonfisico]

Must be japanese or korean

[@Yammamoto69]

33:30 Oh, Arthur... I'm so glad you Came to help me... But I'm in another castle

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

I remember when I was a kid, I always got stuck in the water rising level, I never got past it ever XD

[@jasontajeri1811]

I have vivid memories of playing this with my dad and brother in the early-mid 90's. Wow...

[@mjc71189]

I was reminiscing on the ol'e SNES days and this game came to mind. This is THE game! Great memories. The dagger was the best weapon.

[@kzbxvz]

And one of the most frustrating super hard good looking game in gaming history.

[@Kevin-r6s6o]

Love the music, especially the ending score. It's worth the rage just for that. 😌

[@seanstewart6153]

For me, a favorite since infanthood. I shall always keep this one skewered through my heart, and it will always be the greatest Ghosts n' Goblins game, for me, at least...

[@turoniner]

An incredibly impressive and satisfying playthrough. Much thanks.

[@padelisgk8126]

My god its been two decades since i was playing this...memories, now u got ipad and such but that is a classic...so many memories

[@trontosaurusrex9532]

Capcom had so many classics back in the day. This game was tough,but fun. Solid sound and music as well.

[@journeymanproject1756]

This was during an era when Capcom wasn’t playing favorites during the third console war…at least this is the impression I get. This was an SNES exclusive, but the original Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (meaning the direct sequel to Ghosts ‘n Goblins) and the Champion Edition of the original SF2 were Mega Drive exclusives. I guess it gave hardcore gamers reason to own both consoles back in the day?

[@gnussyflarkin]

A few years back, I was dating a princess who was captured twice by demons. Rescued her both times and it was no big deal. Third time she was captured I just said screw it, I'm getting a different princess. Life's been much easier since then.

[@LITTLE1994]

Even though stupidly difficult, this game had great graphics and music, being on SNES. Definitely still better than the NES original.

[@metatronyt]

OMG bro you are pro, perfect play you are a machine :D respect *-*

[@chenjinguo]

Agree, I complete the game yes. But, nowhere near this guy level lol, +1👍.

[@CommandoPride]

Thanks for the memories.

[@darkwzrd4]

This brings back memories of my childhood when video games were actually challenging. And yes, I've played Dark Souls, but that is pretty much the only challenging series these days.

[@flaming3652]

This is one game that is fun to look at now but really don't miss playing it.

[@VBshredder]

i like how in the initial cut scene Arthur is just kickin' it in his armor with the princess. guess that's his casual attire

[@jorgeotero6146]

uno de los juegos mas dificiles y mejores de la historia jajaja recuerdo no paraba de jugarlo cuando era pequeño me da nostalgia xdd

[@smorenojths]

The concept of going up the tower is sick. So cool

[@DeathGER]

This is where dark soul/demon's souls got their ideas from. And I ain't even kidding.

[@TheColdest247]

slow down or not, this is clearly the best in the series hands down!

[@Danmandingo]

You sir are my hero, This game was so FRUSTRATINGLY difficult back in the day. On top of all of the many different jumping segments that required absolute PERFECTION, I believe you have to run through the entire game itself TWICE. Couple all that with the fact there was no save option I believe. This game was by NO MEANS meant for rookies.

[@WhizWit.]

The nostalgia 😢 omg if they only made a remake to this... 😔

[@fortheloveofGAMEZ]

This game, perhaps is singlehandedly the most difficult game I have come across. The creators of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts were ruthless and sadistic releasing this game. Overall, the game is well put together and intricate. Furthermore, the creativity of the gameplay is not monotonous nor redundant. Each stage is randomly bombarding you with enemies and obstacles that is different. You grow a deep desire to get as far as possible in this one.

[@44bigfreeze]

Heh, try the NES Ghosts 'n Goblins...

[@SinisterSama]

Had to check that section about the 21-22 minute mark.. What he did wasn't cheating, but was the "Golden Glitch"... It's when you use Arthur's Gold armor charge move and use the invincibity frames from the super to pass through enemies... A simple concept that EVERYONE overlooks.. I did that when I played it the first time... Simple and tricky to use "COrrectly".. So, stop hating.

[@nicholasoliveira6363]

a game that i cant go to the third level and sometimes i could get to the second level its so hard these kids thinks dark souls is hard but this game is the real HARD

[@PeruvianPotato]

This game is a huge pain in the dick

[@Logab13]

Le seul jeu que j'ai pu finir ! Excellent game

[@stacytaylor5801]

This game gives me frustration beyond reason panic attacks

[@miyutube12]

I was at an arcade in Akihabara, and I watched a guy play all the way through the arcade version without dying, much like this video. He made it look so easy. Of course next to him was a guy playing Metal Slug 3 all the way through without dying.

[@DaveMire]

I think the crossbow is the best weapon to use in this game.

[@thecheekibreekiguy5048]

Dave Mire Second best. Knife is better

[@chinokiovonk7283]

excuse me i think you are forgetting the torch

[@dylanwoodward3801]

Dave Mire I like it too, knife is definitely faster though. Stupidest might be the ax. So akward and innacurate.

[@RagicalPlays]

Get the knife! Get the knife! Get the knife! Get the knife! Get the knife!

[@cecilrichardson2494]

The Crossbow (with Bronze or Gold armor definitely helps in Stage 6, especially with the abundance of Arremer Aces (aka Red Devils) found there. With the upgraded armor, you fire 3 arrows, and they have the ability to chase down enemies (kind of like heat-seeking missiles). And of course, with the Gold armor, you can use the spell to reveal hidden chests. Personally though, I prefer the knife. It may not hit quite as hard, but its speed more than makes up for that. Plus with upgraded armor, the "Laser Knife" is nothing shy of lethal, because the damage it does gets bumped up.

[@SorenDaein]

The entire series as a whole is one of those "you'd have to be EXTREMELY SKILLED to beat it without cheat systems like Game Genie, Game Shark, or Action Replay". Even Deadpool has a beef with the series.

[@lukcaluwaerts1689]

What an amazing beautifull game !!! I love you !!! Ghosts and Goblins !! with my full heart !!!

[@ThaDarkKnight97]

The way the zombies come out the ground is just like Shade Man's stage in Mega Man 7. Sick.

[@Yolo-pt6jl]

This is the second hardest SNES game ever, only behind SNES Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. That game I saw so many damn times number 1. Even despite having a life bar. I'm not kidding. This guy must be related to Billy Mitchell, world video game champion.

[@TheCodedtestament]

This is a classic, no doubt about that, and I still own the original SNES cart. It's super hard, but not as hard as Ghouls N' Goblins, so it's doable. The arrows are my favorite weapons and the blue flame is least favorite. I'm actually pretty good at this game, and the only thing that really keeps me from properly beating the game is the amazingly devious Red Arremer. He has to be one of the most intelligent, cunning, and annoying enemies in video games! Otherwise, this game is a fun challenge and the graphics and music are impressive.

[@renozmail2]

Thanks for posting. this brings back good memories.

[@chrismallis205]

[@stealthyjaboc9466]

Knight Arthur be like, "Daaaaaamn Demons!! Back at it again with the Princess stealing bullcrap!!"

[@christyme6395]

In the 80's and 90's there was always a princess and she was always being kidnapped. I would hate to be a princess in the 80's "Princess Cheap Plot Device we need you to accompany us to the cemetery to visit your grandfathers grave" "Oh hell no! I've already been kidnapped three times this week. Once by some guy who looked a lot like a pig and who thought that note I folded into a football to pass in class had magical properties. Then their was the dinosaur/turtle monster with really bad breath. I never thought I would get the scorch marks out of my dress and then I finally get a boyfriend, some goth dude who asks me to meet him in a graveyard and Satan shows up. Hell no! I'm finished! I'm not leaving this room until my 65th birthday!

[@redgreekrevolution]

Oh I remember playing this game, I never think I never passed the first stage.

This is the only game in the franchise I have been able to beat, all of them are unforgivingly hard!

[@masaki23joe]

[@johnnymassacre]

Arrows is by far the best weapon in this. Daggers more for pro players but arrows zoning is insane. You can crouch and hide and kill enemies all over the screen without jump committing even the Red Devils.

[@MazterZephyr]

One of my favourite games ever... I'd pay SO MUCH money for an HD rerelease of this. Funny thing is that for all its high difficulty, this is actually the easiest of the series.

[@harmonidoalvorecer]

this game has god level difficulty... the obstacles in this game are very hard. :O when I only played this game I remember having entered it only once and I couldn't even get to the waves part..

[@Meirionatron]

[@deboraheddy6962]

2ww

[@ldchappell1]

Took you 16 years?? Took me 5 months to get to about 80% through the game. I got stuck and couldn't go through the one just before the last one. It is a great game that requires both good memory and dexterity.

[@IamSpacedad]

One of the best games on the SNES. The NES games were hard mainly because they were broken. This one was just masterfully designed and hard because it was challenging - not hard for bullshit reasons.
