Super Widget for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Super Widget

Simple silly fun


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Atlus

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Shockingly good controls. Not the usual floaty mess of licensed games. Reminds me a bit of Super Adventure Island. Uses a multi-level power up system like SMB or maybe even like a schmup. You can become a bird-then-spider when fully powered up or a buff guy-Gizmoduck, or a crab-squid for underwater levels. It's a bit like EVO as you choose your evolution. All forms allow you to shoot enemies with a projectile.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Pretty darn good. Get to the end and collect as many coins as you'd like. Levels are short


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

No idea who this character is but he's an alien with the ability to shapeshift. Works for me


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Very simple graphics with few frames of animation. Platforms and enemies are easy to spot which is nice but this is no visual powerhouse


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Nice but very simple compositions. Only uses a few tinny sounds. Very upbeat. Music doesn't change to fit the level. For example level 2 is underwater but the same peppy song that has played throughput continues to play.


Overall Score: 75

Review ID: 605
