SNES - Super Widget Box Art FrontSNES - Super Widget Box Art Back

Planet Earth is in danger from assorted villains who want to destroy the environment for their own nefarious purposes! Far off in the Horsehead Nebula, a group of shapeshifting aliens known as World Watchers assign planets for their Watchers to protect. A purple alien, Widget, is an apprentice assigned with the job of protecting Earth. Along for the ride is his intelligent sidekick, Mega Brain. Super Widget is a platform game for the Super Nintendo, based on the cartoon show, Widget. It shares some similarities to the game Felix the Cat in how the main character upgrades their weapon as they collect more power-ups. Widget navigates through various worlds as he travels to Earth, picking up 'W' coins - 100 earns him an extra life. There are also special power ups in different categories - these allow Widget to transform into a variety of different creatures, each with their own different ranged attack. As the player collects more power-ups of the same type (up to three), they change into more powerful creatures. If the player gets hit while transformed, they change back to the previous creature. If they get hit while as normal Widget, they lose a life. At the end of each world is a boss character. These are larger enemies that require learning their basic pattern, avoiding their attacks, and then firing back with your own. After defeating the boss, the player is graded based on how long it took to complete the level and their combat skills. They are then awarded 'Watcher Experience' based on these grades.

Additional Information

The sequel to Widget for the NES, Super Widget lets the title character transform himself into a variety of amusing characters (such as Octopus Widget and Dragon Widget), each with differing abilities, but gameplay ultimately boils down to 16 levels of simplistic running, jumping and punching. Cute (if technologically mediocre) graphics and a whimsical theme and musical score increase the game's reputation as a kids-only title, but the action is a bit slow, and there is some frustration when Widget plummets through the occasional object that looks as though they should be able to support him. Fans of the first game should enjoy this upgrade.
