[edit] Plot and gameplay
Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi closely follows the standard set by the first two Super Star Wars games, with multiple playable characters and Mode 7 quasi-3D vehicle sequences. Controls are identical to the second game, and this installment also includes its predecessor's password save option.
In addition to the standard Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, new playable characters include Leia and Wicket the Ewok. Bosses include the Jabba's Palace door guard droid, the Rancor beast, and Emperor Palpatine. Vehicle sequences include the Endor speeder bike chase, a ride to Jabba's Palace in the landspeeder in Mode 7 3D and a cruise in the Millennium Falcon.

[edit] Behind the scenes
Advertised as a 16 megabyte game. For a relatively brief period in gaming history, some particularly large games were advertised based on their contents in megabytes, some of which required special cartridges to hold. Other games advertised in this manner included Strider, Streets of Rage, and Final Fantasy VI (known at time of release as Final Fantasy III). Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the previous game in the series, was advertised as 12 megabytes.
The previous Super Star Wars games had versions for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom. There was no NES version of Return of the Jedi, as it was a completely new game.
