Super Smash TV

This is not the version you are looking for

3 / 5

Gameplay

Somewhat playable on a three button controller but a far cry from the SNES button layout. Here the A button shoots whichever way you face, B shoots the opposite direction, and C locks in a place allowing you to strafe. An understandable compromise but not remotely as good.
Enemy patterns are less predictable and seem to be nerfed.
Weapon powerups last for only a couple of seconds. The game just seems like a shadow of the arcade and SNES classics

4 / 5

Level Design

Room-based design gives a moment of rest and clear objective
Branching paths add replayability
Level select would be nice since it is kind of a one-trick pony - all rooms look the same

3 / 5

Theme

Running Man setting is pretty great
M.C. is quotable but barely says anything in this version.
Worst virtual boobs of all time

2 / 5

Art Style

Far less interesting to look at than the SNES version.
Animation reduced.
Colors are ok but darker and less vibrant

2 / 5

Audio

Music is also far worse than on SNES.
Sounds are garbled with poor quality and far less frequent digitized voice samples.
