Play Super Dodge Ball / Kunio no Nekketsu Toukyuu Densetsu Online

Super Dodge Ball, known in Japan as Kunio no Nekketsu Toukyuu Densetsu, is a 1987 arcade game by Technos Japan Corp., playable today via MAME 0.243. It arrived during a period when arcade cabinets thrived on simple, competitive concepts, and this one took the schoolyard game to an absurd, international level.

You control a team of dodgeball players, moving your character around the court to pick up the ball, then aiming and throwing it at the opposing team. The main objective is to eliminate all players on the other side by hitting them, often sending them comically flying off the screen. Signature mechanics include charging your throw for more power, executing curve shots by pressing a direction as you throw, and using a super jump for high catches. The pacing is relentless, with balls frequently flying everywhere at once, and the difficulty spikes noticeably against later teams. It feels like controlled, joyful pandemonium from start to finish.
