Super Dodge Ball Advance

Gameplay

Initially, Team Heroes is the only playable team in the tournament mode, but other teams can be unlocked as well through repeated playthroughs. After defeating all the dream teams in the tournament, the player can compete against a clone version of their time for the final match. Each team consists of eight members, though only seven are allowed to play. The player assigns each member of their team by position, with four members within the inner court and three on the outer court. Each character has a stat for Throw Power, Throw Speed, Throw Control, Agility, Jump, Catch, Dodge, Toughness, Will and Stamina.

Each character has two special attacks. The first can be performed by running and throwing the ball on the third step, or by doing a running jump and then pressing . There are 50 types of special moves in all. A feature previously introduced in Kunio-kun no Dodgeball Dayo Zen'in Shūgō and carried over to this game is the ability to perform tag team attacks, which allows the player to deal extra damage by performing an attack with multiple characters and having them jump into the opposing team's side of the inner court.

Super Throws

There are 50 super throws available. Pressing B on the 3rd step after dashing results in a Dash Super Throw. Pressing the B Button at the peak of a Dash Jump results in a Jump Super Throw. Each character has two super throws. Among the 50 super throws, there are 2 exclusive super throws, which are available on only very few characters: the Random Throw, which is exclusive to one character, and the Copy Throw, which is usable by two characters. Copy Throw allows a character to perform the last super throw the opponent executed, whilst Random Throw will randomly select and perform any of the other 49 super throws (including Copy Throw).

Other Super Throws include:

1. Mach Throw: The character throws the ball at high speeds at an opponent, 2. Wide Shot: The character throws the ball, which splits into 7 and covers a wide range of space. 3. Surpriser: The character appears to pass the ball, which then quickly moves towards the opponent. 4. Plague Shot: A countless number of balls cover the opponent and inflate, as if they are absorbing the opponent's health. 5. Funky Throw: A very unpredictable throw that can throw an opponent's timing off, making it very difficult to catch. 6. Seven Way: The ball splits into seven separate balls and flies around the court, with an unpredictable movement pattern.
