Super Dodge Ball (NES)

One of many sports games set in the same universe as River City Ransom, Super Dodge Ball follows the respected, world-renowned Olympic sport of hurling a volleyball at some poor jerk's head and hoping he's not conscious enough afterwards to return the favor.

Unused Graphics


This graphic of Kunio is very similar to one that appears in the intro of the original Japanese arcade version of the game, Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu.

Bean Ball 4 Player Mode
In the original Japanese version, it was possible to play with 3 or 4 players in Bean Ball mode. However the NES Four Score is wired differently compared to the Famicom's, so these modes were removed from the game during the translation process. With the Game Genie code (or with a patch), it's possible to restore these options and play Bean Ball with 3 or 4 players on an emulator.

Regional Differences
The Japanese version of the game has Japan as the first stage of World Cup mode and America as the last; in the US version, America is the first stage and Russia (originally the penultimate stage) is the last.
