Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is an SNES hack and slash video game that was released during the console's launch window in all regions. After being released on the SNES, it was rereleased on multiple other game consoles, most notably (for Nintendo) the Game Boy Advance and Virtual Console, among other, non-Nintendo consoles (PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 2, Xbox) and handhelds (Sony PSP). Challenging gameplay make the game dreadfully (in a positive way) popular among hardcore gamers.

[edit] Censorship
The original Japanese version featured crosses throughout the game. These were censored by modifying them into the Ancient Egyptian ankh symbol. The final boss had its name changed from Samael to Sardius.
[edit] Trivia
The game was featured regularly on the popular Nickelodeon game show Nick Arcade, but was seldom chosen because a map was shown for several seconds after each death.
