The Japanese version features an opening sequence which parodies the pre-stage introductions of ''Kunio-kun'' which depicts Kunio being struck by a dodge ball thrown by a passing thug and his teammates chasing after said thug. The American teams of Dallas and Chicago were originally the Japanese teams of Nekketsu High School and Hanazono High School, while the final match was actually against U.S. team themselves. The characters' skin tones and hair colors were changed accordingly in the Western version to reflect this | The Japanese version features an opening sequence which parodies the pre-stage introductions of ''Kunio-kun'' which depicts Kunio being struck by a dodge ball thrown by a passing thug and his teammates chasing after said thug.

The [[NES]] version of ''Super Dodge Ball'' was released in [[1988]], although it is not an exact port. It featured several differences such as special moves and full stats for individual team members, two additional teams (India and U.S.S.R.), and a "Bean Ball" mode. The soundtrack featured stage music appropriate for each country depicted in the game. The Japan-only [[X68000]] version, an exact port of the arcade release, was released on September 1988. It added stereo music and parallax scrolling, as well as a cheat code that increases the character variations. The [[PlayStation 2]] version, released in Japan on January 26, 2006, was published by [[Hamster]] as part of the ''Ore-tachi no Gēsen Zoku'' series. It is an emulation of the original arcade game. | |||
This game was also ported to the [[PC Engine]] in [[1990]], named {{nihongo|'''Nekketsu Koukou Dojjibooru Bu: PC Bangai Hen'''|熱血高校ドッジボール部 PC番外編|lit. "PC-Edition"}}. This Japan exclusive version featured a mixture of arcade version and Famicom version. | |||
