Sir Arthur loses his armor at the first hit and his life at the second, and Capcom's 1991 Super Nintendo sequel to Ghouls 'n Ghosts keeps that punishing rule. Princess Prin Prin is kidnapped again, and Arthur fights through a haunted graveyard, a ghost ship, a sea of fire and a castle, with stages that tilt, flood and crumble. A double jump is new, but you cannot change direction once you leave the ground, so every leap has to be planned.
Armor upgrades add depth. Bronze armor powers up your weapon, and gold armor lets you charge and release a magic spell based on the weapon you carry, with a shield for extra protection. Weapon choice matters, as some throws arc and some lose usefulness on bosses. To reach the true ending you must beat the game, then play through again and find the Goddess's Bracelet. Slowdown appears with many enemies on screen, and a Game Boy Advance port was released later.
Tips for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Avoid weapons you do not want; picking up a new weapon replaces the one you carry.
With gold armor, hold the attack button to charge the magic spell.
Bronze armor enchants whatever weapon you hold, so equip one you like before picking it up.
