Brawl Brothers

Brawl Brothers, known in Japan as Rushing Beat Run (ラッシング・ビート乱 複製都市, Rasshingu Biito Ran: Fukusei Toshi; "Rushing Beat Chaos: The City of Clones"), is a 1992 beat 'em up video game developed and published by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second game in the Rushing Beat series, after Rival Turf!, and was followed by The Peace Keepers in 1993.

As in Final Fight, the player has to walk sideways and fight bad guys for several stages. Next to the general food-health supplies, the player can also pick up weapons like sticks, guns, grenades and such. A special "Angry Mode" gives injured fighters a burst of energy.

It is the only known SNES game that features its Japanese version on the same cartridge, accessible through use of a cheat code. The Japanese version of the game features different character names, no maze-like stages, an expanded ending sequence and the addition of a groin kick move for playable character Douglas Bild.

The player can choose from one of five characters, with American and Japanese version names:

The new characters aiding them are these:

In a one-player game, a "partner" will chosen for the player at random by the CPU. The remaining characters thereafter (or clones of them per the Japanese storyline) will be chosen as bosses for the first three levels. The remaining level ends with a battle against the final boss, Dieter/Iceman, a martial artist with an extendable and flexible staff.

Brawl Brothers received a 20.79/30 score in a 1993 readers' poll conducted by Super Famicom Magazine, ranking among Super Famicom titles at the number 145 spot. The game received mixed reviews from critics. Paul Davies and Edward Lawrence of Nintendo Magazine System called it an "outstanding beat' em up which suffers on a few minor accounts". AllGame's Brett Alan Weiss praised the game's the graphics, music, and addition of more enemies and moves than Rival Turf!, but the lack of speed, precision, and polish compared to games like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon were criticized.
