Tōshō!! Ramen Man Sakuretsu Chōjin 102 Gei: Bandai Classic Famicom Title
Tōshō!! Ramen Man, Fighting!! Ramen Man: Exploding Superhuman 102 Techniques, is a licensed action fighting title published by Bandai for the Famicom based on the Ramen Man character from Kinnikuman. Players control Ramen Man in one-on-one arena combat against a roster of Kinnikuman superhumans, utilising a vast roster of signature wrestling techniques. Gameplay blends grapples, strikes, aerial assaults and special finishing moves faithful to the original manga’s superhuman wrestling premise.
Each match follows professional wrestling knockout rules. Players mix light strikes, heavy blows, throws and aerial leaps. Building power enables unleashing iconic signature special techniques that deal massive damage. Every rival possesses unique move sets and counterattack tendencies requiring adaptive combat tactics.
Single-player story mode progresses through a tournament bracket toward the championship final. Alternating two-player versus mode enables direct competitive superhuman wrestling duels between household players.
Bandai’s Famicom release features character sprites modelled after the classic Kinnikuman anime. Upbeat dramatic wrestling-themed looping background music amplifies tournament match tension.
Strategically, consistent tournament success requires balancing normal attacks and carefully timed special finishers. Wasting charged power on low-damage situations removes the decisive threat needed to secure quick knockouts against tough late-stage opponents.
For contemporary Famicom retro Kinnikuman licensed game collectors, Tōshō!! Ramen Man is a beloved domestic Bandai curio adapting the iconic superhuman wrestling manga onto 8-bit console hardware.
