Overview and Gameplay
Kunio and Riki are framed for a hit-and-run, locked in a juvenile detention center, and forced to fight their way through a more serious Kunio-kun story. Shin Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-tachi no Banka is a linear Super Famicom belt-scroll brawler with dialogue scenes, boss fights, motorcycle sequences, and playable character switching as Misako and Kyoko join the story.
Controls And Mechanics

- Kunio, Riki, Misako, and Kyoko have distinct special moves, many triggered through shoulder-button combinations with attack buttons.
- Passwords continue progress, and Easy and Normal difficulty settings are available.
- Two players can fight together in simultaneous co-op; during motorcycle scenes, one player drives while the other rides along.
