#26: Super Dodgeball (NES)

http://www.tomheroes.com/images/super_dodge_ball_box.JPG

Super Dodge Ball, originally released in Japan as Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu (熱血高校ドッジボール部, Nekketsu Kōkō Dojjibōru Bu?, "Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club") is a dodgeball-based sports game released for the arcades and the Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Technos. It was originally released in Japan as part of the Kunio-kun series.

Technos made several significant changes during the game's conversion to the NES. In this version, all of the teams have six members, the team's captain and five other members, all characters being the same height. This time, only three characters can play inside the main court, rather than four like the arcade version. The player can arrange the positions of their team's members accordingly at the court prior to each match, as each character his own unique set of statistics based on Energy, Throwing Power, Throwing Technique, Ball Break (the amount of curve on the ball's movement), Agility, Catching Technique and Damage Capacity (the amount of damage a player can sustain before losing energy). Instead of eliminating a player after a few shots, each character has his own energy meter which is depleted accordingly to how much damage he sustains from the competitor. If a character runs out of energy, he is eliminated. Additionally each character in the team now has a different power shot, with the team's captain having a unique power shot exclusive to the team.

There are two additional teams in the NES version that were not in the arcade version: India and the USSR. In the Japanese version, the main team in the single player World Cup Play mode is Nekketsu High School led by Kunio, who faces against the rival Japanese team of Hanazono High School, led by Riki. Team USSR is the penultimate team in the Japanese, followed by Team USA. In the American version, Team Nekketsu becomes Team USA, led by Sam Powers, while Hanazono becomes the rival American team of Pro All-stars Team led by Jack. The penultimate match is against Team Japan, followed by Team USSR. If the player defeats the final team without losing any of his characters, then there will be an additional match against Team Shadow, a clone of the player's team arranged accordingly to how they fought the last team.

In addition to the single player World Cup mode, there is also a Versus Play mode where two players compete against each other as one of the nine teams featured in the World Cup mode set in a generic court. There is also a Bean Ball mode, set in a school background, in which the six members of the main team attempt to eliminate each other until only one remains. The Japanese version allows for up to four players via a multiplayer adapter. Since the multiplayer adapters for the NES were not released in America until 1990, the American version is limited to only one or two players.
