Overview and Gameplay
Bayside City is caught in a cloning plot, and the fighters left free must rescue their kidnapped gym partners before Dieter builds an army. Brawl Brothers is Jaleco’s second Rushing Beat game, localized from the Japanese Super Famicom title Rushing Beat Ran: Fukusei Toshi.
The game is a belt-scrolling beat ’em up with five selectable fighters: Hack, Slash, Lord J., Kazan, and Wendy. Players move through city stages, defeat groups of enemies, pick up weapons and recovery items, rescue the missing fighters, and face bosses tied to the cloning scheme.
