Play Kinniku Banzuke GB2 - Mezase! Muscle Champion (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Kinniku Banzuke GB2 is basically the video game version of those ridiculous Japanese game shows where people wipe out in the most spectacular ways possible. You know the ones—contestants dangling from ropes, getting smacked by giant foam hammers, that sort of thing. This sequel takes the chaos of the original and cranks it up with even more absurd challenges.

First thing you’ll notice? The controls are simple, but the physics are hilariously unforgiving. One wrong move on the rope ladder and your little pixelated guy goes flying. The rolling pin obstacle course is pure evil—just when you think you’ve timed your jumps right, the game throws in a weird bounce or an extra spin. It’s the kind of game where you fail miserably at first, then suddenly everything clicks and you’re yelling at your Game Boy like it’s an actual sports competition.

If you grew up watching Unbeatable Banzuke or just love weird, punishing retro games, this one’s a blast. The pixel art has that perfect early 2000s charm, and the challenges get progressively more ridiculous. Just don’t expect to win on your first try—half the fun is watching your muscle-bound avatar eat dirt in increasingly creative ways.
