[TAS] SNES Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by arandomgameTASer in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2015-09-12
Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is the third game in the Super Star Wars series, a series notable for its run-and-gun gameplay.
In this run, arandomgameTASer ( tasvideos.org/... ) deals with intense lag reduction, along with many glitches and tricks, to finish the game in a fraction of the time it would take normally. Clearly, the Force is with him.
In addition to this run, there are also runs of the first and second games in the series: Super Star Wars ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back ( tasvideos.org/... ).

Note: A section of the final level has its audio muted on KZbin to prevent copyright claim and removal of the entire audio track.

Love how in the game, instead of having Vader save you from the emperor, you just have to defeat both of em.

[@vimgeer]

Wow, anyone who played through this game will be very impressed with the platforming around 12:35 onwards - incredibly done.

[@viktoredits]

Yeah +1 to the comment.

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

The Super Star Wars games are just DPS races to the end apparently.

[@TheAbsoluteAzure]

The Falcon escaping the Death Star is the only thing that prevented me from beating the game...I hate that mission with a passion.

[@skinnypippen9580]

Same thing happened to me! I finished Super Star Wars and Super Empire Strikes back, but this final stage in Super Return of the Jedi is cheap!

[@aodhablackheart]

Same. It goes on for fucking ages as well.

[@m.a.packer5450]

The wicket levels were my favorite as a kid

[@spencergrady4575]

Lightsaber still looks better than the ones in the Phantom Menace video game

[@arandomgametaser5681]

Jedi Mode isn't that much different, just slower.

[@indask8]

17:31 Whoever did this is a wizard.

[@MrDaTebe]

I did it as a child. I remember my friends failing at this, because they thought one must press the A (?) Button as fast as possible. But actually you just need to press down A and rotate the Falcon.

[@indask8]

Sorry, I meant the zooming mode 7 effect in this scene, I think it's pretty impressive considering the limitations of the Snes, I wonder how they did this, I know you can make zoom effect in mode 7 but this kind of "Fractal" zoom effect it's the first time I see this on an Snes game.

[@MrDaTebe]

"considering the limitations of the Snes" Didn't they use different Mode7 FX Chips inside the SNES Cardridge? Edit: I checked the pins. There is no additional Chip in this game. As you said, it must be some kind of magic

[@indask8]

They did on many games but not on this one. snescentral.com/pcbboards.php?chip=SHVC-1A0N-20 one rom + the region lockout chip, no expansion chip.

[@MrJechgo]

6:00 to think that thanks to The Bad Batch on Disney Plus, we now know that the rancor is 1) female and 2) named Betsy XD

[@MrAnarchy26]

I remember these levels being long as fuck and i was always just getting lost.

[@nerdgotico5144]

16:08 Amazing, how do you use the freeze power to make Luke jump more? one thing that always fructified me, was that they took away the power of elevation

[@TompaA]

Sorry for the late response... It's done by making a jump, hold forward when you freeze, you can now walk in midiar for a brief movement, you can then perform another jump and repeat the process.

[@pcorf]

19:03 Lando quoting that was too close! Haha love it!

[@nerdgotico5144]

does anyone know if there is a version of this game where Luke Skywalker has the same powers as the previous one?

[@m.k.a.n.w.]

This gameplay could be more interesting in the Jedi difficulty and using infinite detonators.

[@zefanyalt5944]

well...i never knew leia were that agile, i mean...spinning attack and such......

[@DRsatanus]

hold your horses...no...seriously...stop everything....you get through the intro stage...by going in a straight line?

[@ДаниилЛукъесенко]

Механика с заморозкой удивила, много экономит времени.

[@migueltucen3781]

16:42 was that intentional? That was pretty hilarious.

[@protoman2630]

What

[@migueltucen3781]

@@protoman2630 He positioned luke to look like he was boning vader.

[@TTParadigm]

8:04 BOOTY HYPE

[@viktoredits]

12:35 I remember this part in 1994 when i was a kid is fucking hard to do. Is fucking awesome!! / no floor? who care what ever... Deez nuts!? hahaha Got'em 13:12 WTF?!?! Boss Instant KILL!!!

[@Crystalgate]

If he's going to make video game things cannon, he has a much bigger fish to fry. There's one Star Wars game where Darth Vader turns into a giant scorpion.

[@malcovich_games]

What the heck is force freeze, is that even canon. :D

[@CPT85]

Kind of a gyp this never came out with a version for the original Nintendo.

[@guybrush1701]

They were going to but then the SNES came out and when they saw how good the music sounded on it they were like "fuck it" and decided to reboot the trilogy on the SNES

[@puciato7540]

Wtf is the last level doing!?

[@ilikethecokev2]

I know! I felt like that skit from Monty Python *"GET ON WITH IT!"*

[@Terkzorr]

I never knew there exists a Star Wars in which you have to play as an Ewok. O_o

[@jasonwieber2762]

How do you make Leia shoot that arrow thingy?

[@KraggerTheMenace]

It's a charge attack, think like Mega Man X. You can do it with both Leia Boushh and Slave Leia.

[@senordelwater3664]

esto es un comentario random... no se, me parece que Vince Bracken del Sculptured Testing de este juego lo ha hecho muy bien. el final es muy loco loco! y dura mucho y me duelen los ojos. y la cabeza claro. Por cierto quien es Chris Ward que por algo lo han agradecido. Y ya que mencionan a George Lucas al final si lo juntamos con Juan Mario, seria GEORJUAN LUCARIO. Gracias por haber leido hasta aqui, eres muy atrevido. Pero a ver si lo eres mas. Aqui viene la segunda parte. Tengo que hablar de este juego lo entiendes ?? porque si! porque... es divertido y entretenido, y me han incitado a hablar de ello. Me gustaria saber porque se rie Darthsus Sidius ha muerto en realidad. Con lo cual pregunto: Es la realidad ? Ahi te lo dejo para reflexionar chaval! Al marjen.. los productores tambien agradecen a mucha gente y eso es bien! gracias!

[@Tailsfan5338]

0:20 okay why the heck does this tiny guy laugh while you’re on the title screen?

[@ilikethecokev2]

Because it's what he does in the movie

[@mesotolioma5089]

Ahahahaha yimcha

[@arandomgametaser5681]

heh, probably not.

[@itachixmaster]

last level make me dizzy x_x

[@arandomgametaser5681]

Jedi mode is slower and more boring.

[@annwang5530]

Why easy??

[@MyChannel-e6v]

To reduce input lag and beat the game more faster.

[@MarcioFerreiraRosa]

It is correct, but Jedi mode is more appreciated and valued .

[@vulcan6460]

George Lucas can make it canon

[@migueltucen3781]

16:58 pop that dab yeeeee

[@luizim_11]

This game is impossible

[@jerppursh7570]

YEE HAAA YEE HAA YEE HA- STOP! STOP! Y E E H A A A

[@christianbobbtheevilmillio6719]

My master beat Jabba The Hutt too...

[@christianbobbtheevilmillio6719]

He's a professional Gamer, a professional Astronomer, a professional Inventory Manager...

[@christianbobb5500]

Christian Bobb The Evil Millionaire lol you got that right... man... my cute little minion...

[@christianbobbtheevilmillio6719]

Christian Bobb​​ Because I found out that you're the real Christian Bobb, named Master Christian Bobb...

[@christianbobb5500]

Christian Bobb The Evil Millionaire Don't spoil it! Don't spoil it! they might find me and arrest me that easily if you say that I'm the real Christian Bobb!

[@christianbobbtheevilmillio6719]

Christian Bobb​ Sorry I didn't know we were both restricted from the following

[@cesarhenrxr]

TAS no easy? VSF!

According to the TASer comments: The first thing that should be addressed is the use of Easy difficulty. Changing the difficulty reduces enemy HP and how many enemies spawn. It does NOT change anything else. So Easy mode is chosen for speed purposes.

[@rafaelogenio819]

Man, that final stage... this game sucks.

[@arandomgametaser5681]

don't care

[@zomgpirate]

Easy mode? GTFO
