Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Super is invariable. There are no separate plural and feminine forms. It is also considered familiar French and belongs to a lower register, but it is almost ubiquitous in spoken French.

"super" is "familiar" (not recognised by the Académie française) and invariable adjective.
