Congrats!  I was able to finish it as a kid, but it's been a lot of years.  Didn't that one, when you reach the end, send you back to the start to make you play through the whole thing again with a certain weapon before you can fight the end boss?

When I was 17, I got through Super Ghouls n Ghosts for the SNES on hardest difficulty-level with one life.

With all the retro-arrangements, playing it now, I cannot believe how or that I actually did it.

But I did.

@Razzie.P Yeah you need to finish twice for the real ending with the special fireball weapon. The game isn't all that long but rather ultra difficult so im assuming they decided to make that requirement to extend the gameplay. Still a brilliant game though, visually it's beautiful
