Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, sometimes called Super Return of the Jedi, is a platform game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom in Japan) and Nintendo Game Boy which follows Super Star Wars and Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. There is also a simplified version for the Sega Game Gear portable system. It is largely based on the third film of the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

Opening crawl[]

Episode VI
RETURN OF THE JEDI 
Luke Skywalker has returned to
his home planet of Tatooine in
an attempt to rescue his
friend Han Solo from the
clutches of the vile gangster
Jabba the Hutt.

Little does Luke know that the
GALACTIC EMPIRE has secretly
begun construction on a new
armored space station even
more powerful than the first
dreaded Death Star.

When completed, this ultimate
weapon will spell certain doom
for the small band of rebels
struggling to restore freedom
to the galaxy...

Gameplay[]

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi closely follows the standard set by the first two Super Star Wars games, with multiple playable characters and Mode 7 quasi-3D vehicle sequences. Controls are identical to the second game, and this installment also includes its predecessor's password save option. While the plot of the game roughly follows the film, several changes were made to accommodate gameplay. Characters fought their way from scene to scene and are confronted by multiple enemies.

In addition to the standard Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, new playable characters include Leia and Wicket the Ewok. Bosses include the Jabba's Palace door guard droid, the Rancor beast, and Emperor Palpatine. Vehicle sequences include the Endor speeder bike chase, a ride to Jabba's Palace in the landspeeder and a cruise in the Millennium Falcon.
