A Kunio-kun spin-off built around offbeat sports events, Famicom-only. The Japanese cart is among the cheaper Kunio-kun entries to acquire, but intact boxed CIB is valued for closing out a Technos Japan collection. Wii then Switch Virtual Console legalised play abroad without dragging the Japanese physical cote down, and the cote keeps climbing on the back of the overall Kunio-kun surge.
Better with friends
A wacky sports festival where rival gangs clash over a day of events: races, obstacle jumps and improvised brawls along the river. The competition for up to four quickly tips into glorious nonsense, between cheap shots and hilarious accidents. Madcap and unpredictable, it favors fun over seriousness and restarts endlessly to crown the king of mayhem.
