Super Turrican is the name of two different games in the Turrican series that share the same name. The second Super Turrican was developed by Factor 5 and published by Seika for the SNES. It plays similarly to Mega Turrican, also developed by Factor 5, and shares a similar visual style.
If you played on some other video game system, you're gonna be blown away! The best in side-scrolling action just hit the SNES. It's Super Turrican, and if you want game play with awesome intensity and a perfect merging of sound and graphics, you've gotta get this game! Turrican CanSuper Turrican by Seika is a single-player, side-scrolling action/adventure game that goes completely seismic the minute you fire it up. You start off as Turrican, a space ranger who is answering a cry for help from the planet Landorin.
The brave people there defeated an evil satellite/moon called 'The Machine,' but its mutants and malevolent robots continue to spread tyranny across the planet's surface. The Landorins need help from a courageous hero.
You!You blast your way through five Worlds (each with multiple levels) in order to restore peace to Landorin. You invade a treacherous snowy paradise, an underground hell swarming with mutant creatures, a factory whose workers have a devilish purpose in mind (and it ain't assembling cars), and a freaky, alien- infested spaceship. Keep a sharp eye out for the entrances to a mess of secret levels, too! ProTip: You can stomp some enemies by repeatedly jumping on their heads. This is especially useful in the alien level, which has pods everywhere. Manhandle the MachineSuper Turrican will give you one of the worst beatings of your video game life. The Machine's minions come at you by air, sea, and land.
You even have to put up with the elements in a few stages, where constantly changing winds and snowstorms hinder your progress. You fight mutant plants, snowball-rolling beasts, gigantic fish, dog-like aliens, and a gruesome assortment of deadly robotic creatures, including mechanical bees, sentry robots, and huge fire-spitting robot guardians. Waiting for you at the end of each world are some of the biggest, baddest bosses to ever infest the SNES, such as the giant, mechanical fist and a angry mother alien. At least the game /gives you a fighting chance against these formidable foes by equipping you with effective weapons. You get a Gun, a Freeze Ray, and three screen-clearing Zap bombs. You can also spread mini-bombs across the floor.
The game can't, however, help you generate skill and luck.You soup-up your gun by shooting at Pods that release weapon power-ups, including a laser, powerful energy spheres, and a three-way shot. You can also grab Hearts that restore energy to your life meter (which takes a serious licking) and, of course, lots of 1-ups. If an extra Turrican looks inaccessible, try jumping and shooting in midair to activate Pods. Use them like 'stepping stones'. If that doesn't work, try jumping through walls or even through pipes in the factory stage.Turrican's controls are crisp and amazingly simple. The Y button shoots, B jumps, X fires the Freeze Ray, and A ignites Zap bombs. Super Graphics & SoundOne characteristic common to all classic games is seamless interaction between graphics and sound.
Well, the graphics in Super Turrican are amazing! Every color is vivid and alive, and the sprites are small but fast. All the enemies are well detailed, and the huge bosses look fantastic! The game has a great depth to it, too, with a 3-D feel that is especially apparent in the winter scenes, where the lush backgrounds scroll beautifully. To strip the gears of the Factory Boss, jump and shoot until his head turns, then use the lower-left comer to escape his bombs.
Repeat the process until you are victorious. Turrican TimeIf you like your action hot and heavy, Super Turrican delivers. Secret levels and hidden bonuses ensure that the fun never stops.

Second Best SNES Action GameI am the first person to write a review for this game which is very surprising considering it is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo. Super Turrican reminds me a lot of Super Metroid and Contra III since it combines several aspects from both games.Essentially, Super Turrican is an action packed run and gun game in which you just blow things up. However, the thing that makes this game different is the amount of exploration involved. Unlike other action games, you can freely explore each level which are full of hidden items and lives. This adds a lot of replay value to the game because you will spend a lot of time exploring each level.
You are equipped with a standard gun, a laser that is used to stun enemies for a second or two, and bombs that wipe away everything on the screen. Y ou can only carry three bombs at a time and you can use your laser as well as your gun an unlimited amount of times.Throughout the level, you can pick up different weapons such as spreaders, powerful lasers, and bullets that bounce all over the place. This is similar to the sub-weapons in Castlevania because you can keep changing them. Picking up the same weapon more than once will increase its power. You can also transform into a ball, just like the morph ball from Super Nintendo, to reach tight spaces or avoid enemy attacks. While you are shooting which is all the time (I pretty much held down the fire button throughout the whole game) you will reveal hidden platforms. Shooting these platforms earns you shields, bombs, and health, and are often used to reach secret areas.

There are a few secrets throughout the game that you have to reach via hidden tunnels as well.In addition to the top notch gameplay, Super Turrican has great music and bright and colorful graphics. If it weren’t for the lack of a password feature, this game would be perfect. Super Turrican is the second best action game on the SNES, next to Super Metroid, and should be in any SNES owner’s library.Pros:- Excellent action game.- Great music.- Cool weapons.- Tons to explore.- Great graphics.Cons:- No password feature.
