KITATUS Studios released SUPER DISTRO through My Way Games on 22 July 2015, pitching it on the store as a hard 2D platformer in the mould of Mega Man and Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels. It carries five Steam achievements, and four of them do nothing more than mark finishing Levels 1 through 4. Steam purchasers rate it 37 percent positive across 295 reviews, while SteamSpy estimates 200,000 to 500,000 owners because the game circulated widely in bundles.
Boss fights are where SUPER DISTRO tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.

Level 1 Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Stage 1 of 4 confirmed Recommended role: Memorisation Runner with Running jump
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. The store pitch is built entirely on repeated failure, and the first achievement, First Blood, fires on your first death with the line 'Already? That was fast. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Death and restart loop to create safe windows.
- Running jump is enough to handle everything here.
Level 2 Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: Stage 2 of 4 confirmed Recommended role: Memorisation Runner with Running jump
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Four numbered levels. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Four numbered levels is critical for these fights.
- Farm Running jump upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Memorisation Runner if your current setup isn't working.
Level 3 Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Stage 3 of 4 confirmed Recommended role: Cautious Learner with Standing jump
Strategy
Mid-game bosses are the major skill check. They combine multiple mechanics and punish players who rely on a single strategy.
Key tips:
- You need both Death and restart loop and Five Steam achievements mastery.
- Standing jump makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
Level 4 Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Stage 4 of 4 confirmed Recommended role: Cautious Learner with Standing jump
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- Standing jump at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Beyond Level 4 Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Unverified Recommended role: Cautious Learner with Standing jump
Strategy
Endgame bosses are the ultimate test. They require mastery of all combat systems and an optimized build.
Key tips:
- Top-tier build with best-in-slot gear is mandatory.
- Master every mechanic. See our combat guide.
- These fights reward patience and pattern recognition above all else.
General Boss Tips
- Learn before you fight: Spend your first attempt observing attack patterns. Don't try to win on attempt one.
- Match your build: Some bosses favor certain builds over others. Don't be afraid to switch.
- Upgrade your weapons: A max-upgraded Standing jump trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Death and restart loop: The core combat mechanic is your best defensive tool in every boss fight.
- Check the walkthrough: Our walkthrough tells you when you're ready for each boss.
