Gameplay

edit

Each scrolling level is initially shrouded in an animated "mist" until they are cleared by running around platforms and ladders in any order, bringing color to an initially greyscale game tile. A brightly coloured background is revealed after the player makes the mist vanish into thin air.[3]

Mr Blobby

edit

The game was reskinned for Amiga and MS-DOS as Mr Blobby, based on the character from the British TV series Noel's House Party. The gameplay remained the same, but the Troll characters were replaced with Mr Blobby and his family.[10]

Reception

edit

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave Super Troll Islands a 6 out of 10 rating in their December 1993 review.[3][better source needed] In 1995, Total! ranked Super Troll Islands a 95th on their Top 100 SNES Games writing: "A big platformer that's a bit weird."[6]
