Super Thunder Blade is a 1988 rail shooter game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It sees players controlling a helicopter as they gun down military vehicles in various different environments. The gameplay follows the structure set by its arcade predecessor Thunder Blade (1987), with every stage featuring traditional rail shooting segment ending off with a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up boss battle.
The game was later released for the Virtual Console on September 17, 2007, and on the Nintendo Classics service on April 11, 2025. It was also included in the Sega Genesis Collection for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable in 2007 and in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
