{{sub-stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a football game for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear]], released exclusively in Europe and Brazil. It is considered by many to be a version of ''Kick Off 2'', previously released for the Commodore Amiga (and ported to the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST and Commodore 64). ''Kick Off 2'' was originally programmed by Dino Dini for [[Anco Games]], with the console adaptations being handled by [[Tiertex]].

Unlike its [[Super Kick Off (8-bit)|8-bit counterparts, the Mega Drive version of ''Super Kick Off'' is an entirely unique game for Sega's 16-bit console (though something similar also exists on the [[Super NES]]). While likely derived from the 1990 release of ''Kick Off 2'' for home computers, it uses an entirely different set of graphics and is a much faster game than its predecessors.

    The Sega Mega Drive version of Super Kick Off is a football game released exclusively in Europe and Brazil.

    Unlike its [[Super Kick Off (8-bit)|8-bit counterparts, the Mega Drive version of Super Kick Off is an entirely unique game for Sega's 16-bit console (though something similar also exists on the Super NES). While likely derived from the 1990 release of Kick Off 2 for home computers, it uses an entirely different set of graphics and is a much faster game than its predecessors.

    Legacy

    From a franchise perspective, Super Kick Off would be followed by the controversial Kick Off 3: European Challenge. However, Dino Dini, who had no involvement in Kick Off 3 would go on to form his own company and produce the Amiga/IBM PC game Goal!, which shares similar gameplay. Goal! also arrived on the Mega Drive, in the updated form of Dino Dini's Soccer.
