How to Play The Death and Return of Superman
Quick start
Start on Easy and learn Superman’s basic combo before relying on special powers. Walk enemies to one side of the screen, strike with the attack button, and add a jump attack when a gunman or flying target stays out of reach. Pick up objects before crowds arrive and throw them down the lane. Each chapter changes the playable hero and may alter speed, reach, or powers, so test the special button at the start of a new section. Save health-restoring items until the screen is clear enough to collect them safely.
Controls
D-pad: move in eight directions, crouch, or aim flight where a stage permits. A: attack and continue combos; near an object, pick up or throw it. B: jump or fly in applicable chapters. C: use the current hero’s special attack, often at an energy cost. Start: pause. Jump plus attack performs an aerial strike; close range changes normal attacks into grabs or throws.
