Play Honoo no Doukyuuji - Dodge Danpei (Japan) on snes Online

Honoo no Doukyuuji: Dodge Danpei came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, developed by TOSE and published by Sunsoft. It was part of that wave of sports anime adaptations that tried to capture the feel of the show with simple, energetic gameplay. The game is based on the manga and anime series about dodgeball, and it sticks pretty close to that over the top style.

You control Danpei, a young dodgeball player, moving your character around the court to catch or throw the ball. The main goal is to defeat the opposing team by hitting them with the ball or forcing them to miss a catch. Key mechanics include charging your throws for more power, executing special moves like the fireball shot, and timing your catches perfectly to avoid getting knocked out. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike sharply against later teams who pull off wild, curving throws. It feels like a frantic back and forth where one mistimed move can cost you the match.
