Overview

Players once again control the Knight Arthur in his effort to save his bride Princess Prin-Prin from the Ghoul Realm. This time, the ruler of the Ghoul Realm is the Demon Emperor Sardius (Samael in the Japanese version).

The game is largely similar to its prequels, though it is based more on Ghouls 'n Ghosts. In Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Arthur can upgrade to a bronze armor, that enables him to upgrade his weapons, and the golden one, that allows him to unleash an special magic attack by charging the attack button. A new ability of Arthur is to double jump. While he still can't change directions in mid-air, he can change the direction when he is doing his second jump.

Sticking with tradition, players have to beat Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts twice in a row with a special weapon (Prin-Prin's Bracelet) before being treated to the true ending.

Port

The PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions are found on the Capcom Generation Vol. 2 arcade compilation. Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox versions are included on the Capcom Classics Collection and PlayStation Portable version are also included on the Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded.

While these versions are strictly ports, the Game Boy Advance version has an "Arrange" Mode. This new Arrange Mode includes a new map that enables the player to pick from redesigned levels and bosses taken from Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts, based on their success in keeping the bronze armor, or a higher difficulty tier of the standard level set upon keeping the golden armor.

The Super NES version of the game was released on the Wii Virtual Console on March 5, 2007 in North America. It is also strongly rumored to be released later for the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network [1], with these latter versions expected to be a port of the Game Boy Advance version released in 2002.
