The Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live skit turned feature film, is now a videogame for the Super NES. You control deadpan musical performers Jake and Elwood as they attempt to escape from an evil jukebox.
Looking cool in their dark suits, dark shades and black hats, the Blues Brothers will journey through sewers, warehouses, stores and the suburbs of a number of large cities (34 in one-player mode and 25 in two-player mode) in order to reach their final destination -- their first paying gig.
In a one-player game you control either or both characters; in the two-player simultaneous game, you and a friend must decide who gets to play which brother. Jake is fast, but a poor jumper, and Elwood can leap very high, but has limited speed. Other activities the characters perform include swimming, throwing each other, riding elevators, climbing stairs, switching electric arcs, walking on ice and, of course, hopping on platforms.
As you make your way through this side-scrolling game, you must ward off a number of enemies, such as dogs, man traps, mosquitoes, lawnmowers, snails and dodo birds. Your primary weapons of choice are records that you can throw and super records, which are especially destructive.
In some areas of the game, you will need to use certain objects such as springs and mushrooms that act as trampolines, and a friendly snake that you can ride and control. To increase the time limit in a level, you'll need to catch an hourglass. Your goal in each level is to reach the large jukebox.

The Blues Brothers is a video game based on the band The Blues Brothers, where the object is to evade police in order to make it to a blues concert. It was released for the Game Boy in 1994
The characters have the ability to pick up objects (generally boxes) and either put them down to stand on them, or throw them at enemies. Each level is a variation on the jumping theme, with the characters finding a necessary attribute (e.g. a guitar) somewhere in the level. The sixth and final level ends on-stage.
The game can be played by two players simultaneously, but the scrolling screen only focuses on one of them.
The game's soundtrack consists of music from the movie. Dimitris Yerasimos composed the music for all versions of the game except for Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure on Game Boy, where Thorsten Mitschele composed the music.

The Blues Brothers are on the run from the law. Take control of either bulky Jake or nippy Elwood in this five-level platform game. You must cross a prison, a river and the big city to reach freedom. You also must find your missing records and collect these. Everything and everyone is against you, but you can pick up and throw warehouse crates to defeat your opponents.
