Artwork for Super F\*\*\*ing Jacket Guy

 Super F\*\*\*ing Jacket Guy (or commonly shortened to SFJG1) is a 2019 role-playing video game developed and published by Gish. The game is a fan game where Jacket Guy, the protagonist of the series, attempts to play the popular Nintendo video game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but the antagonist, Deadtrex, ended up stealing his game. In an attempt to retrieve his stolen game, he recruits with his friends and goes on a quest to get it back.

## Plot

The story begins with Jacket Guy waking up in his home, wanting to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When he hops out of bed, he finds a letter on his desk, saying that Deadtrex stole his game and took over the world for revenge because he removed him from the "Jacket Guy Show". Jacket Guy then has to go on a quest to find Deadtrex to get his copy of the game back.

After leaving his house, Jacket Guy is able to roam freely around the area, finding enemies along the way. He can also enter an obscure hole in one of the paths, that leads to a fight to obtain Alex, one of the party members. If Jacket Guy were to walk down to the forest in the Reese DLC Update, he is met up with Reese blocking the way, preventing Jacket Guy from getting any further. Reese then joins Jacket Guy after he is defeated. He also finds many other party members along the way, including Gish, Vampire, and Hank. Hank is an optional member of the party, so he is not needed for game completion.

Once Jacket Guy has all the party members needed to make it to the ending part of the game, he will need to defeat The Searcher, located near the bottom part of the Main Hub section. After defeating The Searcher, Jacket Guy and his party obtain access into Deadtrex's Fortress to retrieve his missing game. Walking into the castle, he comes across Deadtrex. After defeating Deadtrex in his first stage, he will then use his ultimate form to take on the party. After Deadtrex is defeated in his second and final stage, Jacket Guy and his team celebrate after getting the copy of the game back. Super F\*\*\*ing Jacket Guy then ends, with the credits rolling afterwards.

## Gameplay

Super F\*\*\*ing Jacket Guy plays much like a traditional role-playing game, having the turn-based battle format available. This game also includes a leveling feature where each character can unlock skills the more they level up. Most of the time, the party members are needed to complete the game.

### **The Shop**

When progressing through the game, there are three different shops located in the game that offers weapons, items, and armor. All of the party members in the game have their own specific weapons for their characters. All three of the shops are ran by Phantom, portrayed as the shop owner in this game.

The town shop is located in The Town With No Name, inside the middle building. This shop offers a variety of items, weapons, and armor that can benefit the party in the later part of the game. This shop also offers a special deal, where Jacket Guy can obtain a pass to The Nightclub for 300 coins. This is the only way to enter The Nightclub.

The second shop, the Nightclub shop, is located inside of The Nightclub. This shop removes the 'special deal' feature, and also provides brand new armor and weapons for the team. This shop gives each person upgrades on their weapons, and improves their Astro Goomba Armor to Steel Armor.

The third and final shop is located in the middle of Deadtrex's Fortress, surrounded by lava. This shop is right next to Deadtrex's Castle, so this is a perfect place to prepare for the endgame. Similar to the nightclub shop, this shop provides new upgrades for the weapons and armor. The armor and helmets upgrade from Steel to Aura.

### **Blam's Satanic Shop**

Blam's Satanic Shop is a shop located in The Town, and has an ominous feel to the place when you walk in. The owner of the shop, Blam, offers Jacket Guy and his party a ritual done on them. The ritual itself costs 50 coins, and is used to recover the entire party. These rituals are very convenient at many points in the game, especially when fighting enemies with more power. This idea was later used similarly in the sequel.
