Super Ghouls'n Ghosts on GBA, Western version of Chou Makaimura. Just as sadistically difficult as the original SNES. A brutal and exhilarating challenge for pure difficulty fans.

Memorable bosses
A benchmark of dreaded difficulty, this demonic trek raises giant guardians you challenge with nothing but a fragile, safety-net-free double jump. From the undulating dragon to the emperor Sardius risen from the abyss, each creature punishes the slightest imprecision and demands a second loop to finish it. This relentless demand, paired with outsized bosses, forges a rare pride once they fall.
Is Super Ghouls'n Ghosts still worth playing in 2026?
A GBA port of the legendary Super Ghouls'n Ghosts, this title sends knight Arthur through eight levels of demons in a difficulty that stays mythical. The joy of the double jump, the successive armors and millimeter-perfect memorization is intact, as is the series' fearsome demand. The port shows a reworked, less punchy soundtrack and some slowdown. A classic of punishing action that has lost none of its bite, worth recommending to fans of demanding platforming and old-school challenge.
