Battle Arena Toshinden is a 2D versus fighting game available on Game Boy, featuring eight unique fighters with super-deformed graphics. The game offers three gameplay modes: 1P Game (story mode), Vs. Computer, and Vs. Human.
The story mode of Battle Arena Toshinden follows a different storyline compared to the console version, with an unlockable final boss. Players must compete in battles against each opponent, either by depleting their life bar or by throwing them out of the ring.
In this game, each character has its own set of special moves and desperation moves that can be used when the character's health reaches 10% or less. The gameplay revolves around these mechanics, providing an exciting fighting experience for players.

Story
Toshin Daibukai
Toshin Daibukai is a fighters' tournament held in the underworld every few years. All types of weapons, except firearms, are allowed, making this a fight to the death.
The organization that arranges the tournament has selected all the participants in advance. Rumor has it that this organization was dissolved after the last tournament, but the truth is not yet known.
The tournament is about to begin. Who is behind the scenes? What evil purpose do they have?

How to Play
Controlling a Fighter
The strength of your attack depends on how long you hold down the attack button. Pressing and holding the attack button will result in greater attack power.
Actions
•
THROW: When close to your opponent, push either ◆ or ► on the + Control Pad and press the A or B Button.
•
DASH: Tap the + Control Pad twice (toward your opponent).
•
BACKSTEP: Tap the + Control Pad twice away from your opponent. This is effective for getting out of an opponent's way or throwing off their attack.
•
DODGING: Tap twice on the + Control Pad downward or push the A and B Buttons simultaneously to dodge all attacks (except throwing attacks) for a specified time.
•
STRIKE: Press the A and B Buttons simultaneously to strike your opponent.
•
TAUNT: Push ▼ on the + Control Pad, then press both the A and B Buttons.
Special Features
Out of the Ring
If any part of a fighter's body falls out of the ring, that fighter loses the match. Invisible ropes around the ring prevent you from falling out.
The ropes can only support you three times. If you fall against the ropes three times during a match, the ropes will dissolve. The next time you will fall out of the ring. When the ropes dissolve, the Rope Gauge will flash.
Attacking From Behind
By avoiding or jumping over an opponent, you may find yourself in a position to attack from behind. Attacks from behind are much more painful!
Game Modes
Select one of three different fighting modes.
•
1P GAME (STORY MODE): Choose from eight different fighters and do your best to win the tournament!
•
VS. CPU (PRACTICE MODE): Practice against the computer.
•
VS. HUMAN: Pound a friend to mush by connecting two Game Boy Systems together with the Game Link® cable or with two controllers and the Super Game Boy® accessory.
Super Game Boy
With the Super Game Boy accessory, two players can fight against each other.
Insert the Game Pak firmly into the Super Game Boy, then insert the Super Game Boy into your Super NES. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
With Controller I, select "VS. HUMAN." Player I uses Controller I while the second player uses Controller 2.
