Sugoi Hebereke is Bird's Eye-viewed like Vectorbeam's 1979 arcade game Warrior, but with brawling elements similar to the ones found in Atari Games' 1990Pit-Fighter arcade, Technōs Japan's 1992Nekketsu Kakutō Densetsu, Namco's 1994The Outfoxies, and Nintendo's 1999Super Smash Bros. There are two play modes in the game: story mode and VS. mode. In VS. mode, up to four players can play as the cast of the Hebereke series simultaneously when using an SNES Multitap. The object of the game is to knock out (KO) the other three opponents. Each stage is square shaped and has its own environmental hazards and moving objects.

Reception
Hardcore Gaming 101 writer Federico Tiraboschi found the gameplay shallow when played alone due to how "bare-bones and easy" it is, though still found it fun when played in multiplayer.[1]
