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.
SUPER DISTRO features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level 1 | Stage 1 of 4 confirmed | LEVEL 1 COMPLETED, First Blood | Memorisation Runner |
| 2 | Level 2 | Stage 2 of 4 confirmed | LEVEL 2 COMPLETED | Memorisation Runner |
| 3 | Level 3 | Stage 3 of 4 confirmed | LEVEL 3 COMPLETED | Cautious Learner |
| 4 | Level 4 | Stage 4 of 4 confirmed | LEVEL 4 COMPLETED, achievement list finished | Cautious Learner |
| 5 | Beyond Level 4 | Unverified | None tracked by Steam | Cautious Learner |
Level 1: Starting Area
The opening stage and where the First Blood achievement almost always fires. It sets the expectation for the rest of the game, which is that hazards arrive faster than the controls comfortably handle.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Stage 1 of 4 confirmed |
| Key Rewards | LEVEL 1 COMPLETED, First Blood |
| Recommended Role | Memorisation Runner |
| Key Weapons | Running jump |
What to Do Here
- Learn the basics of Death and restart loop. This is where you practice without heavy punishment.
- Collect starting resources and your first weapons upgrade.
- Clear all main content before moving to Level 2.
- If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.
Level 2: Early Game
The second numbered stage on the achievement list. Player reports are thin because a large share of owners never got past the first level, so go in without expectations from a guide.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Stage 2 of 4 confirmed |
| Key Rewards | LEVEL 2 COMPLETED |
| Recommended Role | Memorisation Runner |
| Key Weapons | Running jump |
What to Do Here
- Focus on mastering Four numbered levels. It's critical from this point on.
- Farm for Running jump if you don't have it yet.
- Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
- Prepare for the difficulty spike in Level 3.
Level 3: Mid Game
The third numbered stage. By this point the retry loop is the whole experience, and progress comes from knowing hazard order rather than from any new mechanic being introduced.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Stage 3 of 4 confirmed |
| Key Rewards | LEVEL 3 COMPLETED |
| Recommended Role | Cautious Learner |
| Key Weapons | Running jump |
What to Do Here
- This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
- Standing jump becomes accessible here. Prioritize getting it.
- Master Five Steam achievements for the boss encounters.
- Check our boss guide if you get stuck.
Level 4: Late Game
The last stage the achievement list acknowledges. Clearing it completes four of the game's five achievements, which is effectively the full completion for most owners.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Stage 4 of 4 confirmed |
| Key Rewards | LEVEL 4 COMPLETED, achievement list finished |
| Recommended Role | Cautious Learner |
| Key Weapons | Standing jump |
What to Do Here
- Full build optimization is expected by this point.
- Standing jump should be your primary, fully upgraded.
- Retro platformer influences mastery starts mattering here.
- Farm resources for the push into Beyond Level 4.
Beyond Level 4: Endgame
Undocumented territory. Steam tracks nothing past LEVEL 4 COMPLETED and no public walkthrough or longplay covers anything after it, so treat any claim about a fifth stage with suspicion until you see it yourself.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Unverified |
| Key Rewards | None tracked by Steam |
| Recommended Role | Cautious Learner |
| Key Weapons | Standing jump |
What to Do Here
- This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
- See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Curious Bundle Owner for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3 → Level 4 → Beyond Level 4. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your weapons: Some areas favor different weapons types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
