Superman is a sidescrolling action game starring DC Comics' titular Man of Steel. It features character designs based on Superman: The Animated Series . In each level, the player must collect a certain number of keys and possibly fight a boss, then step on a marked area to leave. Keys may be found around in the environment or collected from defeated enemies.
The gameplay revolves around Superman's abilities, such as punching his enemies or deflecting their bullets back at them. He can navigate environments through standard walking or he can hold down the jump button to fly. However, there are hazards to beware of, including bombs that can cause loss of health and electrical barriers.
Some levels offer a more traditional platforming experience, while others feature flying sections with forced scrolling, making them similar to a 2D shooter without ranged attacks. The player must hold down the fly button to stay aloft in these sections.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game casts players as Superman, investigating mysterious disappearances in Metropolis. You'll battle Lex Luthor's forces and an alien collector, The Preserver, across various levels to rescue kidnapped citizens and animals from Luthor's secret submarine base. The gameplay involves flying, punching, and repelling attacks while navigating obstacles and collecting digital keys.
Story
Story
A mysterious peril hangs over Metropolis: several citizens have disappeared without a trace! Superman is in pursuit as he tries to discover what has happened, while searching for the missing people.
He leads an investigation which suggests that the disappearances are due to a secret pact between LexCorp, run by Lex Luthor, and a strange extraterrestrial known as The Preserver. It is soon revealed that LexCorp has been delivering live human and animal specimens to The Preserver in exchange for secret interplanetary technology.
Superman's only chance to rescue the captives is to find special digital keys which will help him locate the prison hidden in Luthor's secret submarine base.
Lex Luthor's Trap
To prevent Superman from freeing the captives, Luthor's henchmen attack Superman and draw him into a trap where he must fight the LEXOSKEL-5000.
Level 1: Attack in Metropolis' Streets
Superman hears a call for help coming from the LexCorp building. He races to the scene, but when he arrives, the screams stop. Suddenly, Superman is surrounded by strange men in black trench coats called SHADOW WALKERS. With no time to react, Superman is caught in the middle of an attack!
Level 2: The Retro-rocket Men
Superman escapes the attack of the Shadow Walkers and stands guard on top of a building to watch over the city, while searching for some answers.
Level 3: A LexoSkel-5000 in the LexCorp Warehouse
Superman goes to the LexCorp warehouse to find information about the whereabouts of Lex's secret base. However, little does Superman know what many obstacles await his arrival.
Level 4: Underwater Passage
The LexoSkel-5000 is standing guard to the entrance of a secret passage located inside the LexCorp warehouse. The passage is a secret trap door which leads to the sea. Superman dives into the unknown.
The Spacecraft
S.T.A.R. LABS has detected a spacecraft approaching Metropolis. Superman flies towards the craft to discover the intentions of its occupants.
Level 5: Metropolis Skies
Superman seeks answers about the unknown spaceship. However, before reaching the craft, Superman is once again attacked by Luthor's Retro-rocket henchmen!
Level 6: The Preserver's Robots
After defeating Luthor's men a second time, Superman finally reaches the spacecraft and confronts The Preserver. To his surprise, he discovers The Preserver is a hunter of endangered species and is here to add human beings and animals to his collection before destroying the Earth.
The Preserver's robot drones suddenly attack Superman and he quickly realizes he is first on The Preserver's list!
Level 7: The Metropolis Invasion
While Superman is busy battling The Preserver's robots, a gang of intergalactic bikers, known as THE INVADERS, swoop into Metropolis on flying motorcycles. Taking advantage of Superman's absence, the marauding bikers plunder the city.
Superman manages to escape The Preserver's ship and races back to Metropolis to stop the chaos. Superman must confront The Invaders gang as well as some new arrivals on flying jet scooters.
The Secret Base
Superman's only hope in finding the kidnapped citizens and animals of Metropolis is to find all the digital keys. The keys are Superman's link to the location of Lex Luthor's secret submarine base.
Level 8: The Secret Passage
Superman suspects that an entry to the base is located in the LexCorp basement. He goes to investigate, but it is well protected. Superman must find another way inside.
Level 9: The Current
Lex Luthor has placed sharks and mines to protect his base from any intruders, including the Man of Steel. However, Superman's biggest challenge is getting through a strong underwater current. He will have to be careful to avoid getting trapped in the rocks!
Level 10: The Submarine Base
Finally, Superman reaches the submarine base. He searches for the captives, but Lex has placed one final present in his path. Will Superman be able to free the captured citizens and animals of Metropolis or will Lex Luthor succeed in his master plan? Only you can decide!
