The rules of the game are the same as in the arcade version of Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu, but all characters have their own Super Shots (in this game they are known as Special Moves, while the super move of each character is named the Combination Special Move). Players are now able to defend against these shots by performing a Counter Attack at just the right time.

When starting the game, the player can choose any team, and they can invite the captain of an opposing team starting from the second stage onward. They may also chose to reject a character to recruit other characters. The third character in the team is replaced first, followed by the second character. Once the original team members are replaced with a captain, they can never be reacquired.

The goal of the game is to defeat all teams to reach the final boss, D.B. Maou. Upon defeating the final boss, the player will get to see the ending of their current captain.

Characters can move in eight directions using the directional pad. The controls of the game differ if the player is on Offense (when they have the ball) or on Defense (when the opponent has the ball). Regardless, pressing the directional pad twice in the opposite direction of the opponent will make the character perform a Back Step, while pressing it twice towards the opponent will make the character Run. The C button is used to Jump.

When a player who has the ball collides with an opposing player, they will begin a clash to compete for possession of the ball. Players must press the A button repeatedly. The player with the most button presses will take possession of the ball and throw it at the losing player, who will be vulnerable to attack.

If the ball is on the ground, characters will grab it automatically once they are near it.

Pressing the A button will make the character throw the ball. The B button has the character pass the ball to one of their teammates. With the D button, players can fool their opponents by faking to throw the ball. This can also be done in midair.

Each character in the game has a different Shoot Type. The Normal Shoot Type is performed by running and throwing the ball. The character can make from 2 to 4 hits with the ball. Characters with the Down Shoot Type can knock down an opponent immediately by throwing the ball at an opponent while running. Jump Down Shoot Type will hit the opponent once with their running throw, but their normal throw from midair will immediately knock down the opponent.

The A is used to attempt to catch a thrown ball, which can also be performed in midair. Pressing the B button will make the character crouch to dodge the ball. The D button is used to taunt and provoke the opponent. This decreases their Power Gauge. Pressing the A and B buttons simultaneously allows characters to boost their Power Gauge.

The game uses fighting game-style commands for Special Moves, which are common to all characters. The commands listed on the table below are for when the character is facing right. Below is an explanation of the commands:

Forward, Down, Down Forward: The Shoryuken motion from the Street Fighter series, also known as the Dragon Punch motion.

Down, Down Forward, Forward: A quarter circle motion, the command for the popular Hadoken, also from the Street Fighter series.

Forward, Back, Down Back, Down, Down Forwad, Forward: A direction is pressed, followed by an half-circle motion starting from the opposite direction and ending at the direction that was first pressed. Used mostly in SNK fighting games.


The game supports competitive 2 vs 2 local multiplayer.
