Blaster Master is a video game released by Sunsoft in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the localized version of a Japanese Famicom game titled Chô Wakusei Senki Metafight (超惑星戦記メタファイト, which loosely translates to Super Planetary War Records: Metafight). Though both versions of the game share identical graphics and gameplay, the plot was completely changed for the American release.

Blaster Master is often cited as one of the most original games for the NES, owing to a successful combination of the genres of side-scrolling action and overhead exploration. Like The Legend of Zelda, Blaster Master featured the gameplay mechanic of allowing players to revisit previous areas at will; in fact, this is necessary to complete the game. Another notable aspect of the game, the player's ability to gain powers from defeated bosses, seems to be inspired by the game Mega Man.

Blaster Master is one of the most successful original franchises of Sunsoft, a company known for producing games based on popular licenses. It is the first in a series of five games; Blaster Master Boy, a localization of %E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0, was released in 1991 and the first direct sequel, Blaster Master 2, was released in 1993.
