Notes:
(1)
The background is based off of two screenshots. I cannot be sure that
some of the graphics are exactly matching, or that the colors are the same
(since the image is black-and-white).
(2)
This game, in my opinion, is heavily skewed toward player 1, as player 2
cannot register controller input if player 1 is holding down a button. I
think you’d have to agree to not hold down any buttons before you play in
order to keep it semi-fair.
(3)
For the NES rom version of the game, I have hard-coded both player’s lives to
25, since the keyboard will not be available.
Game Instructions:
This is a video game version of a game called “shirizumou”. This is a game
in which you stand back-to-back and try to knock the other person off-balance
by hitting their butt with your butt. Hence the “butt sumo” translation for
the title.
When you start the game, it asks for the number of lives or hit-points for
each player (Mario is player 1, Luigi is player 2). From there, you have to
use both controllers to tap A or B to try and knock out your opponent. If
you knock then down with your “A” attack then 1 hit point is deducted. If you
knock them down with your “B” attack then 2 hit points are deducted. The game
ends when one of the players’ life bars gets down to zero. You can press
Start to begin a new game.
