Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is an action platformer video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), released in 1991. The story follows the heroic knight Arthur on his quest to rescue Princess Prin Prin, who has been kidnapped by the devil Emperor Sardius. Players must navigate a series of complex landscapes, battling hordes of undead and demonic creatures. The gameplay involves a progressive weapon system and a unique armor mechanic, where Arthur's defense and power can be enhanced by collecting different types of armor, although he can also revert back to being vulnerable with just a single hit from enemies.

The title is known for its punishing difficulty, forcing the player to complete the game twice before reaching the final boss and achieving the true ending. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is part of the larger Ghosts 'n Goblins franchise and is praised for its improved graphics and sounds over the previous entries, making full use of the SNES's capabilities. Despite its challenging nature, the game has had a lasting impact on the platforming genre and is often cited for its haunting atmosphere, memorable boss encounters, and rewarding gameplay. Its legendary status in the gaming community has seen it re-released on numerous platforms as part of retrospective collections.
