International Superstar Soccer

International Superstar Soccer adapts a console soccer series for the Game Boy handheld. The primary competition involves selecting from 36 national teams to compete in an International Cup.

Team management is a component of play, allowing for the selection of formations and player stances. Adjustments can be made before a match and again at halftime. Individual athlete performance is influenced by a condition rating separate from their base statistics.

Match rules and flow can be customized through several settings. These include game duration, the presence of fouls, and how overtime is handled. The available actions during play are divided between offensive maneuvers like passing and shooting, and defensive options such as sliding tackles and switching the controlled athlete.

This particular version is designed for single player use and does not include a multiplayer mode.
