Overview
Description

Mario Sports Mix brings together four classic Nintendo sports—volleyball, field and ice hockey, dodgeball, and basketball—into a fast‑paced, power‑up driven experience. Up to four players can compete locally in exhibition matches or battle through tournament mode with three difficulty levels: Mushroom, Flower, and Star. The game also adds quirky party mini‑games like Smash Skate, Bob‑omb Dodge, Feed Petey, and Harmony Hustle, each built on the core mechanics of its respective sport, delivering endless replay value for both casual and competitive players.

Super Volley Ball is a retro indoor volleyball game that lets a single player compete against the computer in fast‑paced matches. Choose between a quick normal game or the expansive World League mode, which pits you against every team in the roster. The game features a password save system for World League progress, allowing you to pick up where you left off. Developed and published by Video System with support from Sega and Tec Toy, it delivers simple controls and a nostalgic arcade feel.
