TKO Super Championship Boxing

An all-alien crowd


Genre: fighting - boxing

Publisher: Sofel

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Move around within the ring, like a wrestling game. Very sluggish movement though. Long load times. Takes 15 seconds before the round starts. Two buttons - one for each arm. No way to block and movement is so slow there's no way to get anywhere else in the ring. Gets boring almost immediately. You get a limited number of punches before you get tired. Like a stamina meter. At first I thought the game was eating inputs but it was part of the game design I guess. Why would anyone play this instead of a 1v1 fighting game like Street Fighter?


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Championship and exhibition modes. Championship mode lets you level up your fighter via a simple skill tree.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

It's boxing. No celebrity endorsement which is fine by me. The arcade/anime-style presentation is better than most imo. I also like the Rocky-style trainer.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Tiny sprites that are barely animated. The HUD is nice and simple.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Love the arcade music and sounds. Good stuff


Overall Score: 44

Review ID: 635
