Ultimate Superman is a balance patch designed for the 1992 Superman game by Sunsoft.

The primary goal of this patch is to bring down the game’s frustrating difficulty in various ways.

From lowering amount of damage taking from enemies, giving Superman more control over his powers and adding more health powerups throughout the game’s five stages, Ultimate Superman aims to truly make you feel as if you are The Man of Steel!
