This game marked the return of Kunio-kun characters in a dodge ball based on the characters owned by Million. It is also the first Kunio-kun game published in a mobile platform where the English-language version uses Japanese character and team names. Previously, only the Neo-Geo Super Dodge Ball game (developed and published by Technos) followed such naming rules. Aksys marketed Super Dodgeball Brawlers under the 'Kunio series.' However, the game does not use any previously available Super Dodge Ball music in all region releases.

Game play
Ground supershots are performed by throwing ball when dashing at 5th step.
The tag combo ability from Super Dodge Ball Advance is lost.
In addition to the regular ball throws, player can also punch and kick opponents, as well as using other weapons, to deliver extra damages. However, punching and kicking do not kill a player.
Random items appear when a player dies. Items can be thrown, or used such as the bottle.
Brawl mode (放課後クラブ活動モード), a feature introduced in the NES version of Super Dodge Ball under the name Bean Ball mode, is reintroduced to this game.
Also returned is the ability to equip players and building custom teams, features debuted in the SNES dodge ball game. Custom team can be built using stock team characters.
The English version of the game was reported to have faster game play.
