There was a time where every new game released for the Super Famicom system
had to be prefixed with "Super". Then came a time when the suffix
"turbo" appeared. So what extras did Capcom throw
in this exclusive version released a year after Street Fighter II ?
All fighters are now playable, the original eight as well as the four boss characters.
Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M.Bison can now be
controlled by the player with their unique talents and special moves. And
that's not all, new special moves are now available - to only name a few,
Chun Li, like Ryu and Ken, can
now throw her own fireballs and Dhalsim can use a neat
teleportation move. Because of this, the characters are much
more balanced and Capcom fixed the "unfairness" between fighters
clearly visible in Street Fighter II. Interestingly, the
speed of the game can also be changed before each match giving each
fight an incredible pace. The story mode offers two options to the
players - they can either play the game in Champion Mode
with all the original features and speed (no extra special moves),
or in Turbo Mode with all the special moves and adjustable
speed. Finally, Capcom added three bonus stages where our favorite
fighters have to annihilate a car, destroy a stack of bricks or
hit wooden barrels.

Street Fighter II' Turbo originally came out in the Japanese arcades
in 1993 (the game was renamed Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting
in the rest of the world). The Super Famicom version tested here, however, is a mix of
Street Fighter II' (aka Street Fighter II': Champion Edition)
and Street Fighter II' Turbo (aka Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting).
This may sound confusing at first (and it is), but this basically means
that the game includes the four playable bosses from Champion Edition
and the new moves and faster gameplay from Turbo, plus a bunch of new
features shared by both games. Notice also that the bosses names differ
from the American and original Japanese version (see
