Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku - Soreyuke Daiundoukai
Famicom/PC Engine FAQ by Johnny Undaunted (kikesol@coqui.net)
Version 1.0

Disclaimer: This FAQ is for the Japanese Famicom and PC-Engine version (and to 
a lesser extent; the Game Boy version) of Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku. 
Kunio-kun, Downtown Nekketsu and all related characters are copyrighted by 
Technos Japan Corp. This document should not be reproduced withouth the 
permission of it's author. Keep in mind that this is my second FAQ (the first 
was for another Kunio-kun game called Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun for 
Super Famicom), so it's far from perfect.

Damn it, why are people requesting FAQs for stupid DBZ games for Famicom and 
but no Kunio games?

02. INTRODUCTION
=========================================

Q. What is Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku?
A. Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai was the fifth Kunio-
kun game for the Famicom. It was a sports game in which the boys from the 
original Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (Japanese version of River City Ransom) 
competes in a Athletic Meet sponsored by pretty rich boy Mamoru Toudou from 
the Reihou Gakuen (who became school president when his friend, Yamada, was 
banished from Reihou in Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari). Koushinkyoku literally 
means Marching Band, while Soreyuke Daiundoukai means Great  Athletic Meet. 
There are fourth different events: Cross-Country, Obstacle Course, Ball 
Breaker and a Fighting Tournament.

Q. What is the difference between the Famicom and PC Engine version?
A. Not much. Other than Red-Book audio and enhanced graphics, the PC Engine 
version has extra backgrounds during the Cross-Country event and Obstacle 
Courses, as well as two new battlefields at the end Fighting Tournament. There 
are also new intermission scenes featuring the teams' cheerleaders and pre-
event previews. The PC Engine version has voiceovers done by Ryou Horikawa and 
other famous voice actors in Japan.

Q. What's the difference between the FC/PCE versions and the Game Boy version?
A. The Game Boy version was called Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Dokodemo 
Daiundoukai (Dokodemo means portable) and while that version has the same 
basic gameplay as the FC version, the events were completety different. the 
Obstacle Course was redesigned and the Ball Break game was replaced by a 
Bread-Eating contest (in which your characters beats each other up for a piece 
of bread) and a Hot Potato-style mini-game. Future versions of this FAQ may 
cover the Game Boy version, but for now, it's just the Famicom and PC Engine 
versions.

Q: How do I win this game?
A: If you're playing a 1-player version of the game, you're goal is to compete 
in all four events in a certain order and with a certain amount of rounds in 
each event. You are given points  for everything you do right and you lose 
points for everything you do wrong. By the end of each round, you win a 
certain amount of points depending on your position (1st-place, 2nd place, 
eliminated, ect.). If another team has more points than you at the end of each 
event, it's game over. This doesn't apply to a multi-player game. In each 
round, you are given the choice of one of six characters, each having a 
limited set of HP and a special ability or two.

Q: How many teams are there in the game?
A: There four teams in the game; Nekketsu Koukou (Hot-Blood High-School), 
Hanazono Koukou (Flower Garden High School), Reihou Gakuen (Cold Mountain 
Campus) and Kakukou Rengou (Inter-School Union).
