Super Adventure Island is the first Super Nintendo installment of the Adventure Island series, which includes five previous games. The story starts when you (Master Higgins) and your girlfriend (Tina) are spending some time together, when suddenly a dark sorcerer comes along and turns her into stone! It's the classic damsel in distress, gotta go save my girlfriend video game plot, but hey back in the 90s, any story passed as long as the game played well enough.
The controls in Super Adventure Island were actually fairly tricky to master, as there is a lot of sliding momentum while running. It also takes awhile to hit your top speed, and turning around is a nightmare - although thankfully, turning around isn't usually necessary. The entire game is pretty fast paced, and has a cool sound track to boot. You can even grab a skateboard sometimes to really fly through the levels!
There are a variety of cool level themes in this game as well, such as caves, tree tops, and mountains. There's also a really smooth water level (or two) which were surprisingly really fun!
All in all, Super Adventure Island isn't the smoothest or most original game around, but I will always have fond memories of playing this game as a kid.
