Select a time traveling fighter for one on one battles or hazardous Deathmatch arenas.

World Heroes was originally released in arcades in 1992 by Alpha Denshi/SNK. The SNES port was released in 1993 (North America and Japan), so the legacy year 1992 is incorrect for the SNES platform version.

About World Heroes

World Heroes is a fighting game where players engage in one-on-one combat. The roster consists of fighters from various nations and historical periods, each possessing abilities beyond normal human limits. These characters are loosely inspired by actual figures from history.

The narrative context involves an extraterrestrial threat in the 31st century. A scientist responds by gathering warriors from across time to confront this enemy. Matches can occur in a standard arena or in a more hazardous Deathmatch mode featuring environmental dangers like mines and wall spikes.
