World Heroes is a versus fighting game originally developed for the Neo Geo platform. It was brought to the Sega Mega Drive by Sega Midwest Studio. Unusually, the game did not see a Japanese or European release, but it was sold in smaller markets including South Korea, mainland Asia, and Brazil as well as North America.

Story

A brilliant scientist named Dr. Linus Fracas has invented a time machine in order to learn who is the greatest fighter of all time. He has used his machine to gather the strongest fighters in history to do battle and determine the winner. An unknown threat secretly watches the tournament progress.

Gameplay

World Heroes MD, Character Select.png

Character select

The game is a one-on-one fighting game, designed to follow the success of Street Fighter II. Fighters compete in small arenas to drain each other's health. Matches are played to the best of three rounds, which each round having a 99-second time limit.

Characters move with Left and Right. They crouch with Down (but must stop moving first) and jump with Up. Punching is done with A and kicking is done with B. Punches and kicks have two levels, weak and strong. Tapping the punch or kick buttons performs a weak attack, while holding them performs a strong attack. When using a Six Button Control Pad, a strong punch can be performed with X and a strong kick can be performed with Y. Each character has certain special moves that can be performed by combining directional motions with an attack button. Attacks can be blocked by holding in the direction opposite to the opponent. Characters can throw each other with C or Z when near each other. Throws cannot be blocked.

Modes

World Heroes MD, Bonus Stage.png

Bonus stage

There are eight playable characters in the roster and two different play modes: Normal Game and Death Match.

In Normal Game, players have to defeat the other seven playable characters in a random order, followed by a battle against the final boss Geegus. After the second and fifth battles, the player plays a bonus stage where the character must carve a block of stone into a statue in 99 seconds with repeated hits.

Death Match is the same as Normal Game, except players must fight in a ring with environmental hazards such as electrical barriers, spiked walls, and oil puddles that must be avoided while fighting. Players can force their opponents against the environmental hazards to their advantage.

There are four difficulty settings for computer-controlled opponents (Easy, Normal, Hard, and MVS).

Characters

Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right should be reversed.

P Any punch button
 LP  Light punch
 HP  Hard punch
K Any kick button
 LK  Light kick
 HK  Hard kick

As with regular moves, special moves have a weak version performed by tapping P or K and a strong version performed by holding P or K. However, when using a Six Button Control Pad, the weak versions are performed by tapping either A or X (for punches) or B or Y (for kicks), while the strong versions can only be performed by holding A or B.

The charge motions from the original arcade game are simply performed by pressing the directions in this version.

History

Development

The Mega Drive version, ported by Sega Midwest Studio, is considered a buggy and poor reproduction of the original Neo Geo game.


“ It was actually quite a feat to get all of the eight characters, plus the end boss, in the game -- with all of the animations. Back then, cartridge ROM was expensive!

Yeah, World Heroes (even the original) wasn't anything to write home about. I had to squeeze 82M into a 16M cartridge. The source code was in assembly with absolutely no documentation. There were no testers. There was no one to help me port the artwork.

„

— Jim Reichert[2]


Legacy

The game received three successors: World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect. The latter title received a Sega Saturn port that was released exclusively in Japan in 1996.
