My favorite part of this is 7:27 when I noticed the mule was wearing Sancho's hat, because that's just adorable. Seriously, why couldn't the game be about those two instead?
Remember when the Dante's Inferno game came out and a lot of people were all "How can they turn classic literature into a video game, what the hell?" I really want to show those people this.
"...and so, Don Quixote and his girlfriend shared a romantic embrace as the witch's castle exploded behind them. Well, there's the end of my book report on Cervantes' literary classic DON QUIXOTE, which I totally read instead of spending all my time at the arcade. So...any thoughts, Mrs. Johnson?" "GET OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM. NOW."
"And then Don Quixote went to the pyramids but the baby from Eraserhead was there, but there was a bunch of them. Don Quixote was like 'yeah right' and killed them, but then a bigger baby from Eraserhead came out and he was blue. Big Blue Erasherhead baby was like 'yeah right' and pulled out a sword, but the sword was on fire..."
But they fail to make it obvious, like in the movie i watched it atleast was shown that the thing Don Quixote attacked were inanimate objects that he imagined were real
I'd love to see a QTE game of Super Pride and Prejudice, but I'm worried they won't get the scene where Abraham Lincoln fights the rocket launcher-armed penguins correct.
Cervantes had Don Quixote die at the end so that nobody could ever write another book about him. Little did he suspect that we would invent video games instead.
Don Quixote was only saving the girl because it was for a quest. His true love, lies with Sancho. In case you forgot the little bromance there in that one scene.
I can't believe they called her Isabella when everyone knows that Don Quixote's love interest is Dulcinea. Other than that though, absolutely flawless and true to the book, 2/10
"It was the first and only game released for the Universal System 1, a standardized laser disc video game system. Several other games were planned for this cabinet, but were never released: Adventure in Middle Earth, Adventure Mr. Do!, Time Slip, Circus Circus, Space Dracula, and Wilderness Kingdom." -Wikipedia I don't know what's more amusing; a Lord of the Rings game done like this, or the name "Space Dracula."
Super Super Catlevania IV: Simon Belmont - in addition to having to fight a plethora of skeletons, zombies and bats, needs to fight an alien wearing speedos Super Super Mario world: Mario acquires the blood whistle and warps straight to world 8, where Bowser controls an ancient Indian burial ground and sends totem poles at you. Super Super Metroid: same as the original, but it has slowbeef voiceacting Ridley
I was playing Super Donkey Kong on my Universal System 1 once. ' It can't be right,' I thought, 'where's the giant gorilla?' I had to learn the answer the hard way. In this version DK was an actual donkey, Mario and Luigi were Spaniards, and princess was called Isabella. Stages were similar to Super Mario Land, but with skeletons and other monsters. Upon slaying Bowser (Rita Repulsa?) unconvincing blood was displayed accompanied by loud Kefka laugh. Even after a year I can't sleep at night.
The Adventures of Don Jones, Fred Jones ancestor. Join him on his epic quest as he rescues damsel in distress #54- I mean Isabella, from Maleficent's crazy sister. This game is totally tubular!
You guys had the perfect opportunity to make a joke about Ancient Aliens when in the Pyramids and you blew it To say that I'm disappointed with you is a VAST understatement
With Strahl's music, Time Gal's drawings, Super Don Quixote's animation, Ninja Hayate's mad upskirt action, and Road Avenger's epicness, we could get THE masterpiece of QTE Anime video "games".
I came here from the Kickstarter Non-Starter video about a Japanese card game featuring Nazis as anime spank material. Seeing Japan shamelessly bastardize one of the cornerstones of Spanish-language literature actually had the effect of calming me down and improving my mood.
Delicious! I love Super Don Quix Otes! They're sweetened with just the right amount of sugar, making them a nutritious and delicious way to start your day!
I would say that Cervantes is rolling in his grave, but by now he would have punched a hole through his coffin and started hunting down everyone involved with this thing's production.
Maybe this all takes place in Alonso Quijano's fevered imagination, where he really is a knight. And a young, blonde man. And "Don" is a name, not a title.
I'll wait for Super Les Miserables II: Ultimate Turbo HD Remix, where Valjean defeats Javert using a mix of hadokens and a 40-hit super combo.. oh wait, that exists.
I only watched that movie in early 2000s. Don Quixote was old and stuff he attacked were indeed imaginary. Sorta like objects he looked at he pretended was real.
I find it interesting that Universal chose this fevered re-imagining of Don Quixote over something kids were remotely interested in through existing cartoons: Lord of the Rings.
well, in the books, he'd be so tired from reading so many books he would hallucinate and confuse real people for like ogres and giants and shit... so maybe this is just an adventure through his eyes, but instead he's just in a jail cell or something from assaulting so many people.
Why do I get the feeling that "Super Don Quixote" was not this game's original title and that the title itself was pulled out of a hat by a Japanese business man looking for an American title?
This is nothing compared to the genius that is SUPER Les Miserables! Enjoy pulse-pounding action as Laser Commander Jean Valjean must use all of his wit and cunning to escape galactic Super-Jail and defeat the evil Time Warden Javert!
Maybe it's a true adaptation of the story, and we're just seeing things from Quixote's perspective. Really, he's just attacking a bunch of guys in a bar.
Y'know, the one thing I genuinely like about these crazy anime Dragon's-Lair-style QTE-fests is that the animation's always really fluid. It really looks good.
You know, for the first minute, I thought Slowbeef was just making a really weird, somewhat random reference I wasn't really getting. Then the title appeared and I had no reaction of confusion and repulsion big enough.
Old Spanish tale about a guy who goes insane, thinks he is a knight, and has wacky adventures with a guy called Sancho. It was so popular it spawned one of the first big fanfiction fandoms (in the 17th century).
When I stumbled across this I waited until I finished Don Quixote before I watched. I'm glad I did. I finally get to see a depiction of one of my favorite adventures when our beloved knight battled Maleficent. Its right next to my other favorites in which we encounter zombie Dorotea and Sancho faces of against against his evil British half-brother, Samuel Panwell.
Well it’s good you read it first, because otherwise, no one would get the joke that this is how the Man of La Mancha himself imagines what being a knight is like.
My favorite part of this is 7:27 when I noticed the mule was wearing Sancho's hat, because that's just adorable. Seriously, why couldn't the game be about those two instead?
Super Don Quixote is the SNES version. Sega players got Mega Don Quixote. Turbografx players got Ivanhoe for some reason.
I have nothing to add, this is just a really funny comment.
4 years late, but i almost choked reading this.
Bruh
SOMEBODY MAKE A FUCKING GIF OF THIS
The Ingenious Anime of La Mancha
THIS LITTLE JIG IN A LOOP
PLEASE
YOU KNOW IT HAS TO BE DONE

+J Brown But it was cold fire!
Man fuck that teacher.😠😆
I can't help but feel like the game is just Don Quixote's hallucinations, and he's really just killing hundreds of Spanish villagers and livestock.
Pretty true to the original in that respect.
>killing hundreds of Spanish villagers and livestock
It's Resident Evil 4 all over again.
Either that, or this is what Don Quix-ote always dreams about when hearing about tales of knights and chivalry.
NANI
But they fail to make it obvious, like in the movie i watched it atleast was shown that the thing Don Quixote attacked were inanimate objects that he imagined were real
Is Terry Gilliam ever going to make that fucking Don Quixote movie
I'd love to see a QTE game of Super Pride and Prejudice, but I'm worried they won't get the scene where Abraham Lincoln fights the rocket launcher-armed penguins correct.
yeah, I mean that's the best part
I think the developers of this game were on Don Peyote.
Cervantes had Don Quixote die at the end so that nobody could ever write another book about him. Little did he suspect that we would invent video games instead.
Death doesn't stop shitty fanfic writers.
WTF
Don Quixote was originally a 4000 page fantasy epic that contained all the modern genres
qwertzy121212 Oh my goodness your profile picture. XD
Don Quixote was only saving the girl because it was for a quest. His true love, lies with Sancho. In case you forgot the little bromance there in that one scene.

5:42 i don't know whos hands these are, but whoever they belong to.. i think they might be giants
well, you know why Don keeps fighting to save her...she's an angel
They might be big big fake fake lies.
No, they’re all clearly part of a particle, man.
I wish the ending just said, "Thanks. Take care of yourself."
So next up, Super Mice and Men where Lennie and George fight mutant rabbits on Mars?
Kinda feel sorry for Maleficent there. She's clearly mentally ill.
i remember when holden in catcher in the rye jumped across rooftops and fought various villains with stradlater
"Why do these games show all of the game beforehand?" This game in particular shows off that the antagonist dies. Don't understand why...
man the limbus company spinoff looks wild
This is gonna be Canto 7.
The animation is pretty on point though.
"...and that's how Don Quixote destroyed all the windmills. The End."

Please Don't Quixote
But coin-munchers make me Rage-Quixote!
07:36 "What the fuck is this?" you ask, Slowbeef? It's a dream - nothing more than a dream! "La vida es sueño." -- Miguel Cervantes.
What's funny is that there are actually two Tom Sawyers out there. One of them is an RPG by Square. Man, I wish I was making this up.
In the DLC you play as Sancho and just watch Don Quixote aimlessly running and jumping around in the grass.
Maleficent been playing too much Ghost and Goblins.
He's Don Quickscope.
don quick oats for life
The Adventures of Don Jones, Fred Jones ancestor. Join him on his epic quest as he rescues damsel in distress #54- I mean Isabella, from Maleficent's crazy sister. This game is totally tubular!
Wile E. Quixote
Fun fact: In Japan there is a chain of discount stores called "Don Quijote." I think that's what this is based on.
Also, their mascot is a penguin.
Spencer Greenfield
Another funny thing is how Don Quijote is pronounced in this video lol!
This isn't related to a chain of discount stores it's realted to the Story Don Quijote.
Chris Pie All SOMEONE was late to the party... :O
You guys had the perfect opportunity to make a joke about Ancient Aliens when in the Pyramids and you blew it

just shut up and take my money
Time Gal would win in the battle of all of them, because she's Time Gal. Also Sancho would be the Luigi of Super Don Quixote
Is it just me, or does the villain in this game look just like Maleficent?
I was thinking the same thing
yeah Disney totally ripped that shit off
***** thatsthejoke.jpg
***** Heh, no you didn't.
"The witch has met her end."
And so will we.
*The word END magically appears out of thin air*
I came here from the Kickstarter Non-Starter video about a Japanese card game featuring Nazis as anime spank material. Seeing Japan shamelessly bastardize one of the cornerstones of Spanish-language literature actually had the effect of calming me down and improving my mood.
+MysteriousJG I think you take things too seriously.
If you were angry about the Nazi cards you need to lighten up
The peoole who wrote this think that "Don" is his name
Because that's the only inaccuracy
I know, it's Juan Quixote. Sheesh.
"...fred from scooby-doo went to a renaissance fair"
Delicious! I love Super Don Quix Otes! They're sweetened with just the right amount of sugar, making them a nutritious and delicious way to start your day!
I would say that Cervantes is rolling in his grave, but by now he would have punched a hole through his coffin and started hunting down everyone involved with this thing's production.
i think it may of been based in america but the developers did a quick search of what a pyramid looks like and used the wrong kind.
Try Lady Chatterley's Lover 3000, it's *very* faithful to the book.
Where is Super Betrothed with Renzo fighting his way to Don Rodrigo's mansion to save and marry Lucia?
Maybe this all takes place in Alonso Quijano's fevered imagination, where he really is a knight. And a young, blonde man. And "Don" is a name, not a title.
I'll wait for Super Les Miserables II: Ultimate Turbo HD Remix, where Valjean defeats Javert using a mix of hadokens and a 40-hit super combo.. oh wait, that exists.
NANI!?!
They spoiled the end of the game in the intro.
it's been a while since i read the novel, but i don't remember don quixote being this awesome!
*****
did he fight skeletons? did he surf down rapids on a log? i don't think so.
*****
like i said...surfing down rapids on a log. duh.
*****
lighten up, okay? the book is a classic for a reason. it doesn't need people to stand up for it.
I only watched that movie in early 2000s. Don Quixote was old and stuff he attacked were indeed imaginary. Sorta like objects he looked at he pretended was real.
I find it interesting that Universal chose this fevered re-imagining of Don Quixote over something kids were remotely interested in through existing cartoons: Lord of the Rings.
I liked Super Quixote Bros more.
Class - together now, "Hi, Joseph Lai." Good. Now, never play nor watch anything he has ever produced except to laugh at it. PLEASE.
Ah yes, the fabled story when Don Quixote fought the Dragonlord.
Catcher in the Rye 2: Episode Two
The worlds thiccest princess
well, in the books, he'd be so tired from reading so many books he would hallucinate and confuse real people for like ogres and giants and shit... so maybe this is just an adventure through his eyes, but instead he's just in a jail cell or something from assaulting so many people.
Why do I get the feeling that "Super Don Quixote" was not this game's original title and that the title itself was pulled out of a hat by a Japanese business man looking for an American title?
But then why does it have Sancho Panza and the famed windmill?
Number Nine Maybe they added them in or just happened to notice a parallel and rolled with it?
ReviewLover But then why does it have the famous witch and mummy?
I don't get the part about "Don Quixote" being American. Since it is a famous medieval Spanish book
Lluc Llumador That was before I actually looked it up, I was just going off the fact that I knew the novel existed and the basic plot lol
3:30
Black Native Americans?
Hey, the Spaniards thought that they all looked the same.
0:25 Oh hey Maleficent.
The soundtrack sounds like clowns puking musically, while doing wacky UFO theremin sounds.
And that is the story of Moby Dick.
Fun Fact: Don Quixote's working title was Dragon's Lair.
"And Don Quixote was a blond white dude"
No one show them One Piece then...
This is nothing compared to the genius that is SUPER Les Miserables! Enjoy pulse-pounding action as Laser Commander Jean Valjean must use all of his wit and cunning to escape galactic Super-Jail and defeat the evil Time Warden Javert!
The moral of this story is anyone that upholds the values of being a video game character is one.
Man, Miguel de Cervantes was ahead of his time.
I really hope there was a Don Quixote 64.
Super Don QuixQTE
Don Bluth Quixote.
You're right, Sir Lord Kraehe...I forgot myself for a moment there. It's only what he says in the book, after all. ;)
Maybe it's a true adaptation of the story, and we're just seeing things from Quixote's perspective. Really, he's just attacking a bunch of guys in a bar.
Boy does it pay to be good
Don Quixote's off his meds again...
True story.
I actually used to play this all the time when I was a bit younger. I loved it because of how funny it was. :P
You know what I love about these quicktime games? Their amazingly engaging, coherent, and logical storylines!
Super Don Quixote is...kind of awesome. Dude just gives no fucks.
Y'know, the one thing I genuinely like about these crazy anime Dragon's-Lair-style QTE-fests is that the animation's always really fluid. It really looks good.
Godamn it at least call her Dulcinea........
Honestly... now THAT would be an interesting Anime.
Coming soon on Laserdisc:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Presented by UNIVERSAL!
So the witch is Maleficent's more powerful, yet less competent sister. If that's even possible.
You know, for the first minute, I thought Slowbeef was just making a really weird, somewhat random reference I wasn't really getting. Then the title appeared and I had no reaction of confusion and repulsion big enough.
The Bible: Super Jesus Adventures. Coming soon!
The best part is that the people who made the game seem to be under the impression that "Don" is Quixote's first name.
Is this Quantic Dream's latest title?
Guys, you would all understand what was going on in this if you read the Don Quixote extended universe.
Did they use Hanna Barbera sound effects for some of the jumps?
Isn't that Super A Tale of Two Cities: Symphony of the Night?
They could have at least ended the game with a shot of an old man reading a book to make it somewhat Don Quixote related.
When he's an adult, but you only fight the electric jellyfish as a child.
Is there a Super Hamlet? Because I could really go for another in-depth literary interpretation of a classic novel.
"Boy does it pay to be good."
