'''Super Dodge Ball''', released in Japan as {{Nihongo|'''Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu'''|熱血高校ドッジボール部|Nekketsu Koukou Dojjibooru Bu|lit. "Hot-Blooded High School Dodgeball Club"}} is a dodgeball-based [[sports]] game produced by [[Technos|Technos Japan Corp.]] originally released as an [[arcade]] game in [[1987]]. In Japan, it was the second game starring Technos Japan's video game character [[Kunio-kun]], following ''[[Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun]]'' (the Japanese version of ''[[Renegade]]''), although the connection between the two games was removed in the western release. Various home versions and sequels of the game have been released for various platforms.

Various home versions and sequels of the game have been released for various platforms.


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 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.
