About Super Dodge Ball

Super Dodge Ball presents a team based competition where six player squads face off using a ball as the primary weapon. Matches are not casual schoolyard games but organized contests where each athlete possesses distinct special moves and the teams themselves have unique statistical profiles.

Multiple ways to play are available. The primary World Cup mode involves a tournament structure where the player controlled United States team must defeat a series of national teams, culminating in a final match against the reigning champion Soviet Union. For direct competition, a Versus mode allows two players to select any teams to oppose each other.

A separate Bean Ball mode offers a chaotic alternative, transforming the court into a free for all where every participant, including computer controlled ones, fights individually to be the last player remaining. This mode supports either solo play or participation with a friend.
