I beat Super Star Wars today. The last part is a Mode 7 nightmare. The other two though, way too unforgiving.
Super Star Wars is the worst for me: the double jump is mapped crappy to the buttons. Up + jump. In Super Empire and Jedi its jump + jump which makes it much easier to do. Also the lightsaber is crappy and you don’t get the cool death spin you get in the later games.
I agree with all of this but it’s still a good game even if it’s not as good as the other two.
