The Smurfs

The Smurfs is a classic platform game for the Super Nintendo that was developed by Infogrames in 1994. The Smurfs is based on the popular comic and cartoon characters by Peyo and brings the charming Smurf village and all its adventures to the 16-bit console. With its colorful graphics, catchy music and accessible gameplay, The Smurfs is aimed particularly at younger players and fans of the iconic blue heroes.

In The Smurfs, you take on the role of a brave Smurf (the "normal" Smurf by default) with the aim of rescuing his captured friends who have been kidnapped by the evil wizard Gargamel. On the way, you pass through various thematically varied levels - including forests, swamps, mountains, snowy landscapes and Gargamel's castle. Each world is lovingly designed and comes with its own challenges, enemies and platform passages.

The controls in The Smurfs are classic: You run, jump and can perform certain actions, such as throwing objects or overcoming obstacles. Good timing is required, as the game can become quite tricky in later levels. Boss battles provide additional excitement and variety.

The graphical implementation is particularly striking in The Smurfs: the detailed 16-bit graphics perfectly show off the world of the Smurfs - with fluid animations and a style that is closely based on the comics. The soundtrack is also charming and accompanies the gameplay with cheerful melodies that match the mood.

The Smurfs for SNES is a lovingly crafted platform game with a high nostalgia factor. It offers entertaining fun in a familiar universe and is ideal for fans of the series and fans of classic 2D platformer games.
