Along with his sidekick Mo Crash and even more importantly his six-gun he will try to accomplish this task.
The game takes place over a week with each day being a different stage.
Stages are broken down into 4 parts.
The first part is a training section where players can practice shooting.
The next two parts are action scenes.
In the action scenes, gameplay consists of moving a cross-hair over various enemies and shooting them.
The final part ends the day with a showdown.
The showdown involves a one on one duel in which a draw icon will randomly pop up anywhere on the screen which must be shot then immediately afterwards the enemy the player is facing then must also be shot.
This continues on until either the player's or the enemy's life bar is drained.
If a player doesn't shoot an energy canteen during a level a bonus screen will appear.
The bonus screen shows a woman spinning around on a round board with stars next to her body.
Shooting the stars without missing and without accidentally shooting the woman will help players pick up large amounts of money.
At the end of a level the amount of money made is tallied up.
For every bullet wasted and damage taken the player loses money.
The player gains money equal to the their accuracy and the amount of energy they had left at the end of the stage.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Tin Star for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tin Star to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tin Star, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
