Super Dodge Ball is an over-the-top, arcade-style sports game released for the NES in 1989 by Technos Japan. As part of the classic Kunio-kun series, it transforms standard dodgeball into a high-stakes, hard-hitting international tournament. You control Team USA, battling rival nations on various courts around the world, depleting the stamina of opposing players with aggressive throws and unique super moves until the entire opposing team is eliminated.
How to play
The objective is to eliminate all players on the opposing team’s inner court by throwing the ball to reduce their health to zero.

When holding the ball, use X (A) to throw and Z (B) to pass to a teammate. On defense, press X to duck and Z to attempt a catch.
Tips
- Double-tap a direction to sprint, which increases your momentum and the speed of your throws.
- Timing a throw while sprinting or at the peak of a jump unleashes a character’s signature power shot, dealing massive damage and often tearing through multiple defenders.
- Pass the ball quickly between your inner court and outfield players to confuse the opposing team and set up an easy strike.
