{{Header Bar|game=Tournament Arkanoid|num=4}}

'''Tournament Arkanoid''' is a sequel to the original [[Arkanoid]], developed by [[Taito]] and published by [[Romstar]] in the United States in [[1987]]. Thanks to the success of Arkanoid, many arcade owners were keen to have another version of the game that would continue to attract players and their quarters.

Tournament Arkanoid is more of an upgrade than an actual sequel. The game play is 100% identical to the original (see Arkanoid's [[Arkanoid/Gameplay|Gameplay]] page for more information.)  The only thing different is that all 32 stages have completely different arrangements of blocks. Some are much more challenging, requiring the player to direct the ball through a single hole in a wall of gold bricks. Many players consider this version less fun to play because of the extreme difficulty of some of the stages.

Oddly enough, the game does not appear to have been distributed anywhere else in the world but the U.S. Tournament Arkanoid was also never ported to any home system.
