Super Dodge Ball (c) 1996 Technos.
The popular game of Dodge Ball is a rather unique sport in which teams of three players try to knock each other out with the help of special moves and team attacks. In this game you take control of a team and must beat all other teams (you can even recruit the other team's leader after beating them!) in order to face the current Dodge Ball champion and take the title. Features cool anime style graphics, catchy music & great sound effects, plenty of moves at your disposal and a solid challenge level. Dodge Ball anyone? :)

>>> TRIVIA
----------
This game is known as 'Kunio no Nekketsu Toukyuu Densetsu' (literaly 'Kunio's Hotblooded Dodgeball Legend').
This game runs on the Neo-Geo MVS but was not released on the Neo-Geo AES home console.
This is yet another game by Technos that features characters inspired by the River City Ransom manga. In the overhead map at the beginning of each match, all characters are drawn in a comical small body style, apparently as an homage of the famous NES games that featured the River City Ransom characters.
Kunio appears in 'Renegade' as main characters.

>>> GAME UPDATES
----------------
The International versions of this game are almost identical to the Japanese version (no voice cuts as in the Magical Drop games), only the title screen is completely different & the fact that Shinji's taunt is censored outside Japan (Instead of merely shaking his fist angrily at his opponents, Shinji gives them the middle finger!).

>>> TRICKS AND TIPS
-------------------
* Characters turn VERY slowly in this game, this means that you can score free hits if you either run past them and smack them with the ball, or pass the ball to a teammate that has already been defeated!
* Beat the game without continuing to see a special screen after the credits with all the characters grouped together.
