    The Super Turrican games of the Turrican series were two independent developments sharing the same name.

    The first Super Turrican was developed for the NES, created by Manfred Trenz alone. It is based roughly on the levels of the first two Turrican games. The game was never released outside Europe.

    The second Super Turrican was developed by Factor 5 and published by Seika for the SNES. Factor 5's Super Turrican plays similarly to Mega Turrican and shares a similar visual style. The game has a different set of levels, however, and features a freeze beam in place of the original lightning whip. This Super Turrican videogame was also released on the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia on February 29, 2008, and in North America on March 3, 2008.
