Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts: Super Arthur

What it is

Super Arthur changes a handful of rules that make Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts so unforgiving, without touching its stages or enemies. Lufia first released it in 2016 and refined it up to version 1.3.

What's changed

• Taking a hit sends Arthur back to his previous armour instead of stripping it all at once
• Weapons you pick up are kept, and L and R switch between them
• Shields no longer break when they block attacks
• The stage timer counts down a little more slowly

The creator notes that these changes make the game much easier and suggests raising the difficulty to the Professional setting to compensate.
