Super Turrican

The game features large levels that are crammed with secrets and can be explored freely in any direction. To get rid of the numerous enemies, the player's character, Turrican, can use three upgradeable shots: A spreadshot, a powerful laser and a rebound that bounces off of walls. Additionally, there is a Freeze-Beam that can be used to temporarily freeze enemies. The beam is fully rotatable and also helps in discovering secret capsules.

These capsules contain powerups and can often be used to reach secret areas. Turrican has the ability to transform into an energy wheel (as long as he has enough special energy), which enables him to lay mines and even makes him invincible. The gameplay is fast-paced and requires strategy to overcome the challenges.
