The Brawl Brothers are two guys, not actually brothers, named Rick and Doug (or, Hack and Slash, respectively) who run a self-defense gym in Bayside City. Three of the gym's best fighters are also characters in this game: there is Lord J., a karate and judo master; Kazan, a ninja; and Wendy, a pro wrestler. You choose which two characters you want to control, and Dieter, the psycho bad guy who's got his secret Air Fortress outside the city, kidnaps the other three. Dieter wants these fighters so he can clone them and develop his own army for evil purposes, and it is up to whatever two characters you choose to fight your way through these clones to reach Dieter.
The gameplay in Brawl Brothers is an action-packed mix of fighting and exploration. You control one character as they navigate through the Air Fortress's corridors, battling enemies and avoiding traps. The game features a variety of combat moves and special abilities for each character, adding depth to the gameplay. With its fast-paced action and challenging levels, Brawl Brothers is a thrilling adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

How to Play
Object of the Game
The Brawl Brothers delivers a real knockout punch, with enough moves and mayhem to challenge the best you've got to offer. Make the game as easy or as difficult as you like when you choose your options. You can limit the number of lives and continues, even control the number of enemies.
Play solo, join forces with a friend, or go head-to-head with your partner in a one-on-one competition. Stick with one character, or take turns with all five...the Brawl Brothers lets you do it your way!
You come face-to-face with Dieter's evil forces right from the start - villains with names like Heckler, Phantom, Led Hed, Fnord (huh?) and, of course, Butch.
Your adventures take you through four stages, from the Bayside City streets to a labyrinth of underground storm drains, then into the jungle and across the rooftops to the Command Center, where Dieter keeps his secret Air Fortress...a flying battleship worthy of the name. Be prepared to find your way out of a couple of mazes along the way - you'll have to use your brains and your fists if you want to survive this one!
The Characters
The Brawl Brothers are actually five guys...or four guys and a girl, to be exact. Each character has their own distinct personality and moves, from jabs and body slams to flying kicks and pile drivers.
•
Hack: The mastermind of the operation - but he still throws a mean punch!
•
Slash: His best buddy and the enforcer of the group - a real heavy-hitter.
•
Kazan: A ninja fighter with special powers.
•
Lord J.: A world-class judo master and black belt in karate.
•
Wendy: A pro-wrestler with awesome power...for a girl, that is!
The Clones and Dieter
You choose two characters at the beginning of the game - your main character and a backup. The other three are kidnapped by Dieter and his gang of thugs, who use them to create clones - evil twins with super-human strength.
Your final confrontation on each stage is a fight to the finish with one of these clones - and believe me, they only look like your friends! Once you defeat the clone, your friend is set free and can be chosen for the next round.
Dieter himself appears at the end of the final stage as he tries to make his escape in the Air Fortress. You arrive just in time, crawling over the wing and into the hatch as the massive flying fortress gets airborne. Your mission is clear - you've gotta find Dieter, then survive the final battle and escape before he blows the whole thing sky high...hey, if he's going down, he's gonna take you with him!
Getting Started
•
1. Place the Brawl Brothers Game Pak into your Super NES™ and turn on the unit.
•
2. The title screen appears.
•
3. Press START to begin the game.
•
4. The Brawl Brothers includes three play modes: 1 Player, 2 Player, and Player versus Player (VS MODE on the menu screen).
Select OPTION MODE to choose your options before beginning the game, including the number of Lives, number of Continues, and Difficulty Level. Use the Control Pad to select an option, then press any button.
One-Player Game
Choose 1 Player Game from the menu screen. When the SELECT PLAYER screen appears, use the Control Pad to position the cursor over a character and press the Y Button. Next, you must select a second, "backup" character.
If you lose all of your lives and choose to continue the game, you will have the option of switching to the backup character at that time. Also, if a second player joins the game (by pressing START on Controller 2), they will control this character. After you choose a second character, the map screen appears. Press any button to begin.
Two-Player Game
Choose 2 Player Game from the menu screen. The SELECT PLAYER screen appears. Player 1 uses the red icon. Player 2 uses the blue icon. Press Left or Right on your Control Pad to select a character, then press the Y Button to confirm your selection (the icon will start to flash).
Each player must choose a different character. Note that a second player may join a One-Player game at any time by pressing START on Controller 2. When both players have selected a character, the map screen appears. Press any button to begin.
Player Versus Player
Choose VS MODE from the menu screen. When the SELECT PLAYER screen appears, each player chooses a different character. Confront your opponent in three rounds of head-to-head competition. The first player to win two rounds is the champion.
The OPTIONS Screen
Choose OPTION MODE on the menu screen to display the OPTIONS screen. Press Up or Down on the Control Pad to select an option, then press Left or Right on the Control Pad to change that option.
When you have finished choosing your options, select EXIT and press any button to return to the title screen. Option changes are not saved, so you will need to set the options each time you turn on your Super NES.
