- A playthrough of Capcom's 1992 action game for the Super Nintendo, Super Buster Bros.
Played through the Tour Mode on the normal difficulty level.
Super Buster Bros. (known as Super Pang outside of the US) was originally an arcade game released in 1990 for Capcom's CPS hardware, and the sequel to Buster Bros. (or Pang, or Super Pomping World, depending on region).
The game concept is very simple. Each stage takes place on a single screen, and the player has to continuously fire upward, destroying all of the bubbles before they can hit him. Bubbles come in various sizes, the larger varieties of which split into more bubbles as they're attacked, and the stage layouts of require you to be very careful when choosing which ones to hit. If you go crazy hitting everything in sight, you'll likely end up setting loose far to many to be able to escape from. Since a single hit spells instant death, rushing in blindly usually is a guaranteed suicide strategy.
Thankfully you get quite a few power-ups to ease the onslaught somewhat. Shooting certain bubbles and breakable platforms releases things like bonus points (for extra lives), submachine guns (for highly effective spray-and-pray tactics), anchoring ropes (for temporary barriers that simplify timing), hour glasses (for temporarily freezing the play field), amongst others. They're all necessary if you plan on getting very far. There was more than once as I was playing when I was sure that I would be killed, only to survive by some miraculous stroke of luck. Especially on Stage 39 - damn. I know the game fairly well, but I was shocked that I got through that stage without dying. That's certainly not a feat I can pull of consistently.
The graphics are basic - barely up to snuff by SNES standards - but the backgrounds provide some nice depictions of the places you hit during your world tour, and even though you'll sometimes have an impossibly huge number of bubbles playing around on-screen, slowdown isn't an issue. I'm not sure how Capcom sidestepped that issue - the SNES is pretty notorious for the way it struggles under a heavy load - but the apparent trade-off in graphic quality is a good one. An uneven game speed (like we can see in Super R-Type and Gradius III) would've ruined the playability of this one, but thankfully that wasn't the case. Nicely done, Capcom.
The music and sound is alright: it does it's job. Nothing more, and nothing less. There are no voice clips, and the cheery background tunes are entirely forgettable, but they provide an appropriate backdrop for the action.
One thing that surprised me about Super Buster Bros., not that it has any real bearing on the gameplay, is that it came on such a tiny ROM. The game was only 512K (4 megabits), making it about the same size as the larger NES carts. Just a random bit of info - it's not like Super Buster Bros. really required anything larger... though an 8meg cart that retained the intro and had higher quality sound would've been nice.
Though Super Buster Bros. is simplistic, even by NES and SNES standards, it's got enough more than enough depth to sustain it for the duration of the forty-stage campaign, and though it can be brutally hard, it is fair and gets easier with practice. It's a lot of fun, and really makes for a nice throwback to the era of old-school arcade gaming.
(But, if you can track it down the the rare PS1 collection, the port featured there is definitely the preferable console port to play.)

Simple though it may be, Super Buster Bros. on the SNES is a great throwback to the era of old-school arcade gaming, and well worth checking out for anyone that likes a stiff but fair challenge.
I've collected many games over the years and watched so many videos on this channel.. is there any chance you can give me some true (Not so obvious like Zelda/Mario) Classic gems for the snes?
Either way thanks for the excellent content!
I've purchased Capcom Puzzle World for the PSP.
Played this a few times as a kid and absolutely enjoyed it. For the life of me I never remembered the name of this game. Glad I found it after all these years!
Use to rent this a lot. Love the music in this game. Some of the item sound effects were also used in Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse. I always wondered about that as a kid.
pure acrade feeling at it's finest
Modern consoles have a spiritual successor in PANG Adventures. Much the same gameplay, just jazzed up with HD animations.
I swear i thought I saw Gohan from the thumbnail
Visuals are lovely throughout. Music is catchy and upbeat, and fx are as they should be. Gameplay looks solid and fun. Should have had a 2 player mode though.
I remember we rented this game as kids, my friend rented Mickey Mouse and I rented this game. THen the store burned down that weekend so we got to keep the games lol.
One of my childhood favorites
One of my all time favorite games. I wish there was a new version.
There is! It's called Pang Adventures.
The PS1 port is also part of Capcom Puzzle World on PSP, so this game is also available on that handheld. I believe it is also on PCE CD, though that could just be a port of the original game, and is also on Gameboy as well, but could also be a port of the original game.
Iirc the TG16 version is the original. It's a very good port, but it was a bit strange that it came out after this port of the sequel.
I just purchased Capcom Puzzle World for the PSP just to play Buster Bros. It's an actual port with updated graphics.
Another thing, Retro Core did a Battle of the ports - Pang!
Muito bom. Você joga muito, eu gosto muito desse jogo!
Buster Bros bustin nutzzz...
That makes it sound like incest porn. Lmao eww.
It kind of reminds me of the mock up version of this game called Spit Wad Willie.
My Mom Loves This Game
Shit, i remember playing this as a kid
I tried so many times to find this games and I never could till tonight lol I wasnt gonna give up.
I'm 32 now and I used to spend hours on this game as child, don't remember much but I remember I was beast lol
26:16 "Alright, I get the point!"
lol yeah, I expected the game will shows all the stages from the countries, but then is like "fuck it, you get the point"
*Super Buster Bros!* Bust your butt? Well, you know how much we love lame humor!
In any case, I remember this one, you shoot at bubbles with some kind of grappling hook/harpoon gun thing, it's surprisingly fun! A simple arcade romp, especially with a friend to have fun bustin' together. 'Cause bustin' makes me feel good!! You know, as great as the backdrops in this game are, I'm a little disappointed we don't get to see *Manneken Pis* in the background! Oh well. You can't have everything!
Graphics: B+

I'd beat that 🎮 couple times, in Miami, Florida.
So what? What are you the king of Miami gaming? Because I don't think you are.
@@robwest5457 I don't think he ever claimed to be. Oh, but if you changed your first name to Go, then you could be The King of Wishful Thinking! How about that?
Like 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Silk Road? Yikes. Who knew Nintendo was supporting illegal drug trade.
Rob West The Silk Road was an actual thing. Along trade routes to China, people used to trade silks.
