Undoubtedly, Super BurgerTime is another classic from the great pool of great classic gaming experiences that we can still play today.

For those who don't know the game or never understood it well before, the aim is to get all the layers for the burgers on the buns that are at the bottom of the screen and while dodging or tackling the enemies once you have completely prepared the burgers the internship is finished.
The game is divided into worlds with 4 stages each, at the end of each world you will also have a boss level.

I'm a big fan of many of the 80's era classics and I've sunk hours of my life playing the original Burger Time at this point, but I always wanted more stages to play. Now, this one was in the arcades and I never had the chance to try it, but honestly, it's not really Burger Time, but something that uses the general aesthetics.

SBT is... it's chaos. Ruthless, distracting, quarter munching chaos. Gone is the methodical charm of the original and planning out your paths. SBT just throws overwhelming numbers of very random enemies that don't necessarily even follow the food theme (hammers, vultures, lighters... huh?) alongside a metric ton of annoying opponents that are food, but have a way of cheesing you to death, instead of punishing you for planning a path badly. They respawn rapidly, tend to out pace you easily, and they can even make it borderline impossible to get out of your spawning position. Some stages remind me more of zombie swarms than anything else.

SBT now allows you to use a wider assortment of weapons and some dubiously useful mobility boots, but everything has a time limit, instead of a usage limit. Trying to keep an eye on this with the sheer amount of nonsense you're constantly dodging a barrage of bright visual distractions and enemies bouncing around is a hassle.

I also have to comment on the hit detection. It's just bad. Your chef can now jump and this results on him getting caught on random platforms if you hit them wrong or a pixel of your hat touches an enemy above you on a different level. And they've kept that annoying thing where you can get caught on ladders from the original. In short, the hit detection will not average out in your favor, especially against enemies with better maneuverability than your stodgy chef, although I will say I've noticed something odd where you can sometimes climb up ladders adjacent to egg monsters and not get hit. I've yet to see it happen with anything else.

I'm not going to say SBT isn't at least some fun, but it's frustrating without being skillful. It was designed very obviously to be an aggressive quarter muncher in the arcades, given how super easy it is to die while accomplishing nothing. There are just too many times when brute forcing your way up the platforms seems the only viable approach and that's just not good. Pity the poor kids who lost their allowance on this thing back in the day.

I really wanted more Burger Time, but this feels like it was trying to mimic other titles out in that time, while being too quarter hungry to be a good entry or a true classic.

I'd say try it on a discount, but know what you're getting into it.

I love being able to play classic games from the past with all the unconstrained ability to feed coins in without loosing all my pocket money. Ladder mazes and angry food never saw it coming!

i didn't play long but i could tell this game isn't for me - the graphics are cluttered and dense, the enemy spawn and placement has no real logic to it, and you have to jump on the food to make it fall now instead of walking on it - it just misses the charm of the first game

it's just the video game equivalent of "HOW MUCH STUFF CAN I CRAM IN HERE?"

i bought it half off and still overpaid for it - four out of ten stolen cheese wheels

It is almost impossible to set up the settings, the controller or keyboard, or exit from the game. It does not jump high enough to reach the next platform. I do not recommend this game in this form until it will be improved.

Just Like BurgerTime But With Better Looking Sprites And Better Sounding Music

After playing this I decided to give up drugs.

Although this is a very hard game, but player can insert unlimited coins to continue after game over. So you only need a few hours to beat the game if you have enough patience.
