We review the salient features of spacetime and worldvolume supersymmetric super p-brane actions. These are sigma models for maps from a worldvolume superspace to the target superspace. For p-branes, the symmetries of the model depend crucially on the existence of closed super (p+1)-forms on a worldvolume superspace, built out of the pull-backs of the Kalb-Ramond super (p+1)-form in target superspace and its curvature. This formulation of super p-branes is usually referred to as the twistor-like formulation.
