Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts was amazing to behold on the SNES back in 1991, and it still holds up as a must-play classic today. It's beautiful, creepy, hard-as-nails, and it's a real treasure for retro gaming fans.

[@fahriakalin5936]

NintendoComplete Have you ever tried the challenge mode on the GBA port? I always thought it looked interesting but never had the time (patience) to play through it.

[@NintendoComplete]

@@fahriakalin5936 I have a video of the arrange mode from that version coming up soon

[@fahriakalin5936]

NintendoComplete Cooll!! save it for Halloween night!! ghouls n ghosts is perfect for Halloween!!

[@NintendoComplete]

@@fahriakalin5936 Don't worry, I have something lined up for Halloween that's pretty good ;)

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

I absolutely agree, what a game to be blessed with as one of the first a 3-year old or so would play. Along with Star Fox, Super Mario World, and Plok. Of course, I could never beat it back then, but it's barely a challenge for me to beat these days. ...But I'll be gosh darned if I can get past that freaking RED AREEMER aka Firebrand !!! Oh, the 3rd stage is the worst! Don't get caught with your pants down, Knight Arthur!!

[@PeteyThePanda]

I remember how big of a kick in the balls it was that you went through all of the stages only to be turned back to find that bracelet 😂

[@Cam_pro08]

I just got to that part I got so mad

[@jordanbyrd9821]

Same here only game in history to do that.

[@csargent31]

​@@jordanbyrd9821Ghosts N' Goblins and Ghouls N' Ghosts for the Sega Genesis also made you go back to all of the stages a second time, but yeah, you need the bracelet to finish Super Ghouls n' Ghosts.

[@jordanbyrd9821]

@csargent31 Yeah true I meant the series of them that is.

[@_brunin_mc]

I dropped the game after that, so freaking bs

[@mikeh2519]

The sleepovers with friends and pizza and staying up late playing this and other games. The nostalgia 👏🏻👏🏻 . It was a great time. I will always look back with happiness and a little bit of sadness on my childhood memories!

[@p6mkq]

Cherish these memories.

[@josemondragon7695]

Me too, wish i was there with you but with a little bit of weed 😅

[@mikeh2519]

@ that would have been 🔥🔥🔥

[@da0484]

This was one of those games that made you feel like you were in it. That’s how engaging it was. I remember the hours I spent as a kid trying to beat this game man the memories😩

[@Birdland11]

That game was so hard for me back in the days, very well played.

[@johndrippergaming]

Tas😂

[@andy1181-l3m]

Same…he makes it look so easy but I never made it passed level 2🤷

[@LITTLE1994]

Still is

[@singularity7968]

Just tried it last night. It’s been 30 years and I still suck lol.

[@warshipsatin8764]

its still a hard game and the gameplay holds up well

[@waynecuff3140]

Beautiful game on the best console ever in my opinion. Seeing and playing this back in 91 was something special. And it still is today!! The visuals, the sound, the gameplay just magic.

[@ChaoOnYoutube]

got a snes mini for christmas and it's on that with a couple of more classics too. really worth the 150 bucks

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@ChaoOnKZbin That sounds like a pretty good Christmas to me!

[@ThrowedGenji]

Ghouls 'n Ghosts taught me in life with great determination anything is possible

[@Vik1919]

Indeed. Some people couldn't beat it because they gave up, had they kept trying, they would have beat it. I never gave up because I was determined to beat it, just like games in general and finally achieved victory.

[@thehoodcsf08]

I remember when I first passed it I was mad that I was sent back to the beginning, then I tried to beat it again and couldn’t. After seeing this video I busted out the old console and have been trying again. Love the video lots of good memories 🤘🏽👍🏼.

[@LPetal86]

I've always loved this game. There was a recently released C64 remake of that version that has superior sound and sprites from the original and it's pretty great too--always great to see this classic get love no matter what platform it's for!

[@marlonsanchez3141]

This game is the same now as it was some 20 plus years ago...... beautifully animated and to watch. Some of CAPCOMs very best pieces of art next to STREET FIGHTER ALPHA series.

[@27GhettoBreakStar27]

Omg. As a child, i go everyday to my best friend and we played this so much, so long. I was 4 years old. Haha, so much memories and more then 23 years ago. Gold times, its never compare to any other experience

[@ro11ing_stone20]

hi, my name is kyle, i am 30 yrs old and i suffer from ptsd due to this game as a child

[@fatcatbat6357]

Ever since I was a young lad I would try and try to beat this game, to this day I still haven't! But Imma keep trying till it's done! Awesome play dude, this channel is the best when it comes to gameplay.

[@greensun1334]

Tough, but amazing. SG&G is the best of the series imo and even one of the best fantasy themed platformers of the entire 16bit aera. Capcom did a great job with this game, just as expected.

[@Scon1990]

Impressive how easily your getting thru the game with no problems not even taking damage

[@Reabilitator]

Save state - Load state. Then edit. Nothing impressive here

[@rcblazer]

While it isn't the hardest game I've ever played, this one whipped me into top shape as a gamer like a digital personal trainer.

[@Dorelaxen]

Absolutely LOVE this one. I managed to beat it, too, and I'm by no means one of those masochistic gamers that has to play every super difficult game there is. Plus the music is truly something spectacular, my personal favorite being the stage 5 Ice Forest music.

[@GMJ-rc9nk]

That made me feel all kinds of feels 🤗 I was 11 when this came out and couldn't stop playing it. Seeing this and hearing all the sounds and music has made me very happy. Thanks for uploading it 🤗

[@fahriakalin5936]

bird heads? in the walls!? Contractor: "those are load-bearing bird heads. The walls require bird heads, for support."

[@NintendoComplete]

Like really ornate flying buttresses? That's exceedingly gothic and avian-garde of them. Lmao sorry, that was just too corny to keep to myself.

[@LordSephleon]

@@NintendoComplete Even a bad pun is a good pun as long as you share it. ;)

[@NintendoComplete]

@@LordSephleon I'm a high school English teacher. There's plenty more where that came from :D Ahahaha

[@LordSephleon]

​@@NintendoComplete I like you even more now! I've studied English for the dual purpose of Creative Writing and mastering its syntax since my own years in high school thanks to a really supportive English teacher (twenty-plus years ago...), so your level of awesome just went up. :) And you love puns!? Well, I already subbed and hit the bell a while ago because you play all the best games, so.... erm... GOLD STAR! :D (NOTE: I fail at emoticons/emojis since I don't use more than the basic stuff, so....)

[@NintendoComplete]

@@LordSephleon Well tyvm! And sweet, I love gold stars!

[@MaxwelThuThu]

There's a really cool hack that restores all censorships from the American version, and the best thing: Corrects the game's code to run smoothly with little to none slowdown.

[@stephenmanuel9860]

I'm looking this up later and subjecting myself to the true horror

[@lukejams]

wow a lot of patience and practice, beautifully played.

[@TheCentralScrutinizerAgain]

I still remember how blown away i was when i first saw and heard the ship level, but the snow level? awesome stuff

[@returnofsoma]

I've noticed that all the bosses and some minor foes die really explosive deaths in this game and I like it!

[@thecowboy2]

Firebrand, aka the Red Arremer, was actually in his own trilogy of games. Part 1 was Gargoyle's Quest for Game Boy, part 2 was Gargoyles's Quest 2 for NES, and part 3 was Demon's Crest for SNES.

[@LinebaKKer]

Loved this game…and all the anxiety it gave me as a kid 😂

[@LuigiLaitinen]

5:07 What a perfect way to finish this stage! … even especially with an extra life earned.

[@kagemaru259]

I got this for Christmas back in 1993 when I was 12. It was at that time while playing this that I realized just how much of a potty mouth I really had after the frustration of dying so many times.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Oh my gosh, one of my first video games I have EVER played. It does NOT get much more nostalgic than this, unless it's Super Mario World!

[@nicholaslawson4474]

The skill level here is out of this world.

I had always thought our shining knight here as well Ninja Gaiden, and The Legend Of Zelda deserved clean drawn animes.

I miss this game so much!!!

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

This game always had good artwork. I always remembered the 4th stage being hella gross with the walls that grow wriggling claws, foul-spewing digestive organs, and other fleshy abominations.

[@elodvezer1790]

that double jump at the start works prfctly to summon that first chest!👌🏼

[@bluebthebluebifullest1688]

I was so small when i first played this. I Could never get through the second level. Then i forgot its name until now. Great to finally see it again.

[@xoxobabeygirlxoxo]

Dude, my core childhood memory right here 😅❤

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts was my introduction to Capcom and their challenging platformer series, it was also among the first video games I was blessed with along with my very first console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the 90s! From the wonderful introduction music, you know you're in for a treat. I was a baby first playing this, but it's amazing how the abstract graphics can inspire imagination. I look back and remember...EVERYTHING! The gameplay and music, oh, so nostalgic.

[@Steven_Hoffman]

Played this game myself via SNES Switch Online, gotta say I had fun with it.

[@somacruz7759]

This game is on the Switch Online service? Nice :D

[@PassionFlame64]

I have this on my 3DS and absolutely love it.

[@edzehoo]

I actually feel like Ghosts and Ghouls is the right type of difficulty for a game. Coz it keeps you determined to want to play it again and again to win it .

[@pablodaniel-retrogamer716]

Arthur must be someday in Smash.

Loved this game as a kid…played it constantly but could never get passed the 2nd level🤷

[@vgaoct91]

Most impressive, sir! I'll muster whatever sand I can to get a copy and play someday! So you know, the names of the following were changed in the localization to prevent controversy and the Crosses in the graveyard being swapped out for Egyptian symbols. Astaroth - Asutaroto Nebiros - Nebiroth Samael - Sardius By the by, that thing which kidnaps the Princess at the start is the Satan boss from the original Ghosts n' Goblins (yes, he's called that - Yet he's second to Astaroth and to this game's extent, Samael here). Though it wouldn't be hard to see how he could be a Red Arremer himself or their leader.

[@NintendoComplete]

Thanks! And no kidding? How have I thought the wrong thing for this many years? Hahaha. If you have a Switch, this game is on the online SNES service!

[@protoroc]

Track down a SNES mini.

[@AlidarJarok1]

Awesome run man, I hope you do more horror themed games for Halloween.

[@user-b3i2q]

I remember getting a Nintendo magazine and looking at the trigger spots for the chests :D

[@jordanbyrd9821]

To go through this game twice atleast the ending was rewarding 🙌

[@majesticking8056]

After watching "The Sopranos" with Pauly's infatuation with what Christopher told him on Season 2, this game really brought out memories playing as a kid- I was like 7-8 years old when I played this game-Good action sequences and really allowed me to like the Capcom games series- especially my true favorite to this day- Megaman!

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

I played it in 1992 on my SNES and I didn't find it too hard. I beat the game within 1-2 weeks no problem :) Great game, super soundtrack! It's much better than the Mega Drive version :P

[@NavySharkz]

I agree. the NES and Genesis versions are waaaay more brutal than this one.

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

@@NavySharkz Yep :) Also the C64 version of Ghouls'n'Ghosts and Ghouls'n'Goblins are brutal, of course also the arcade version :)

[@AYANAMlREl]

i think legend of the mystical ninja harder than this game

[@sahilkhan2470]

One hell of a spooky game, but well done for the 90s!

[@rrg6754]

I had the Sega Genesis version years ago but sold it off. Never had this version though. There's a "Retro" video game store near me that sells all the old and new video game consoles and games. When I was in there last week I saw they had both the Genesis and Snes Ghouls & Ghosts games for sale. Next time I'm in there I'll probably pick up both games (and not sell either one off this time). When I was in the store last week I bought the Genesis Aladdin game. Another game I had years ago when it first came out but ended up selling. Another great game I won't ever sell again. They also had the Snes Aladdin game in the store. I plan on getting that version in the future since I never owned that version of Aladdin. And it's different enough from the Sega Genesis game it will be worth playing both versions.

[@someguy5035]

Kind of seeming like you have an invincibility code on or something? You took direct hits at least 10 times.

[@startervisions]

All in the code my dude

[@LITTLE1994]

Compared to the NES game, this one is definitely nicer in terms of graphics and music. But the difficulty didn't tone down quite much.

[@anthonychung5611]

The Main thing I know about this game is it is VERY HARD

[@michaelmayer1996]

The enemies in this game love to crowd my character

[@Sinn0100]

What is with your game? Your very first pickup is the Knife, the second chest was the Green Armor, and the third was the Gold Armor, and fourth the shueld? If I remember correctly you should get weapon, wizard, armor, wizard, and armor, finally the shield. Then it repeats itself. Also your enemy count seems really low for the graveyard... Addendum- I know you're not cheating or anything...is this on an emulator by chance? Which version is this? I ask because so far I don't see any slowdown. *Edit- I did see it slowdown a couple of times now. Still...it was far worse back when I played it on a cart.

[@MAKgargos]

The measurements of the princess are very important.

[@luciebureau6815]

NintendoComplete but maybe it’s less difficult than Ghosts n’ Goblins NES ?

[@NintendoComplete]

@@luciebureau6815 I think it's much less difficult and frustrating than the NES game.

[@luciebureau6815]

NintendoComplete i heard of its reputation. I saw your gameplay of Ghost n’ Goblins NES(nice gameplay), and i read your description and the comments of the other internauts. It’s almost the same observation : this game is damn difficult !

[@stephenmanuel9860]

My best advice is to look up the locations of the hidden chests in each level, collect as many money bags as you can for extra continues, and master the double jump.

[@sunnydayyesgameofthronesno2981]
