Each character starts with a set of gems.
These can be activated during a fight to improve speed, power and defence, or provide special abilities to create crushing stone walls, open up a rift in space, or reverse the opponent's controls.
The use of the gems is inspired by the The Infinity Gauntlet comic book series.
There are ten playable characters.
The heroes are Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Psylocke, Spider-Man and Wolverine.
The villains are Blackheart, Juggernaut, Magneto and Shuma-Gorath.
Anita from the Darkstalkers series is a hidden character in the Japanese version.
The bosses are Doctor Doom and Thanos.
During the boss fight Thanos steals all the player's gems (except for mind) and uses them with new effects.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1996.
