Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Bangai Rantou-hen is an adventure game developed by Technos Japan and released in 1990. It was published by Arc System Works. It is available on Nintendo 3DS and Game Boy.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Players assume the role of Kunio, who must avenge the beating of his friend Hiroshi at the hands of Yūji Munakata, the only son of the chairman of Munakata Industries. Yūji has also been terrorizing Hanazono High School, so Riki joins Kunio as well, provided that another player has another copy of the game and the Game Link Cable. Though the game was released after Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari and uses similar graphics, they game doesn't give the player an option to choose between Kunio or Riki (the first player always controls Kunio and he is the only playable character in a single player game, only the second player can use Riki, though both characters play the same).
