Super Adventure Island is a platform game released by HudsonSoft for the Super NES in 1992. It is the fourth game in the Adventure Island series, and was followed by Super Adventure Island 2 and Adventure Island 4, a Japanese exclusive for the Famicom.
The plot is that Master Higgins' girlfriend has been kidnapped by an evil villain. Your job is to guide Higgins through five worlds with three levels each. At the end of each world is a boss. The levels consist of a jungle and volcano (1), a beach and the inside of a whale (2), treetops and a mine (3), the desert (4), and a snowy mountain and castle (5).
While the game features improved graphics and music from the NES games, the game also removes the ability to ride dinosaurs and has significantly fewer weapons than Adventure Island 2 and Adventure Island 3. However, a new ability with weapons is that if you collect a certain number of weapon icons, your weapon will become more powerful and will resemble a cluster of fireballs.
