Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Game Boy Advance

This hauntingly familiar Game Boy Advance platform adventure is an enhanced port of the Super NES game of the same title, and a sequel of sorts to the 1985 coin-op classic Ghosts 'n Goblins. Ghoulish gameplay consists of eight levels, including the Rotting Sea, the Deep Chill, and the Throne Room. In addition to the port of the 16-bit original, this cartridge contains a special Arrange Mode, which includes re-mixed levels from Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Players take the role of the brave knight Arthur, who must rescue Princess Guinevere from the clutches of darkness by conquering a treacherous countryside crawling with dangerous monsters (such as dragons and man-eating plants) and creepy undead (such as zombies and vampires). Arthur can pick up sacks of gold, weapons (such as a crossbow and a scythe), extra lives and other items throughout his journey. Since he can only carry one weapon at a time, he should choose his power-ups wisely.

Though he's as tough as he is brave, Arthur is human and therefore must rely heavily on shields, which are acquired by opening treasure chests. Steel Armor protects him from one hit, Bronze Armor protects him from one hit and gives him the power to use the Weapons of Enchantment, and Golden Armor has all the attributes of the lesser armors with the added power of letting Arthur use shields and summon White Magic.

The designers have included a battery-backed feature that lets players save their progress. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
