Overview
Capcom's licensed X-Men title for the Super Nintendo blends Final Fight-style brawling with platforming levels. Players control Cyclops, Wolverine, Psylocke, Beast, or Gambit, each with distinct moves and abilities. A password system saves progress across missions as the team fights through Genosha.

Why it matters
It stands as one of Capcom's earliest Marvel-licensed games and a solid example of the SNES-era beat-em-up/platformer hybrid. Its character-specific stages and special moves make it a notable entry in both the X-Men and Capcom catalogues.
