Developed by Taito, Sonic Blast Man II arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1994 as a beat 'em up. It blends beat 'em up and action elements.

It landed about 3 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1994 include Final Fantasy VI, Donkey Kong Country and Super Metroid. Among the 31 SNES beat 'em ups in our database, it ranks #22 by legacy score.

It is part of the Sonic Blast Man series; on the SNES you can also try Sonic Blast Man. Taito also made Space Invaders, Lufia & the Fortress of Doom and Arkanoid for the SNES.

Sonic Blast Man II supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling

What playing Sonic Blast Man II is like

Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.

Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
