StarTropics is an action-adventure video game released by Nintendo in 1990 for the NES. Unlike most of Nintendo's games, it was never released or intended to be released in Japan. It was released only in North America and Europe, although designed by Japanese designers living in the United States. It was produced, written and directed by Genyo Takeda of Nintendo Integrated Research & Development (who also developed the Punch-Out!! series). StarTropics was followed by a sequel entitled Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, released in 1994.

制作规格很高设计亮点颇多，在当时可谓一线大作。游戏采用rpg式大地图推动剧情，之后进入迷宫是以俯视角解谜和动作为机制的房间闯关。迷题比较统一围绕跳踩地面砖块展开，迷题设计用了让步算步、单纯探索/隐藏地图和时机操作/节奏操作多种手段，主要优点还是集中在操作方向，纯迷题更像过渡填充物比较简略，砖块现在看缺乏假代合理性，但机制本身还算好玩并且跳跳跳玩起来还挺洗脑。战斗部分手感不太行，转向僵硬，武器前期也很鸡肋，但后期主武器升级且各具创意的特殊武器出现后战斗还算有爽点。剧情里的小幽默能让人会心一笑，但整体不大经得住时间考验，有种蹭流行硬贴用户取向的感觉，什么原始秘境探险混搭高科技潜艇，从木乃伊幽灵之类的鬼怪到后期外星科技外星怪兽出没我有点恍惚经常不知道该身在何处。美术和画面都超高质，过场像素图精致的好像下个时代，运动部分角色们的动作也非常精细。
很好玩的一款游戏。解谜要素非常多，有些地方不看攻略会很难玩下去。攻击方式比较单一，经常能被小怪弄死。所以并不适合那些抱着轻松愉快的心情去玩的玩家。理论上不用SL大法的话一星期能通关。
