About this game

The sequel to Super Star Wars is, as the name implies, based on Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back , the second of the original Star Wars movie trilogy.

The game features familiar locations and events from the film, such as the ice planet Hoth, the search for Yoda on the jungle planet Dagobah, and the fight against Darth Vader.

Several locations are expanded, adding places and boss enemies that did not exist in the movie, and certain key events in the story are omitted or changed.

As in the previous game, the player is able to control three characters: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca.

Unlike the first, each character has been given a distinct special move.

Chewie spins a path of destruction through enemies, Han has grenades and a powerful slide, and Luke can switch to his lightsaber and block oncoming fire.

Gameplay is very similar to the first game, mostly focusing on platforming elements.

As before, there are Mode-7 vehicle levels, during which the player is able to pilot a snowspeeder against encroaching Imperial walkers, pilot the Millennium Falcon through the asteroid field, and break through Cloud City's defenses in Luke's X-Wing fighter.

The game's other major addition is the inclusion of a suite of Force powers for Luke.

They are learned by collecting hidden orbs on the Dagobah level, and add a second special bar that depletes with each usage of a Force power.

Power-ups include health items, weapon upgrades, screen-clearing detonators, and orbs that restore Luke's Force power.

Passwords have also been added, and are given upon completion of each of the game's 25 stages.

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 Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 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 Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 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 1993.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
