What Super Sidekicks 2 is

SNK released Super Sidekicks 2 in April 1994 on the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, and it also appeared on the AES home console and Neo Geo CD. It arrived the same year as the World Cup in the United States, and its tournament structure follows that format.

Compared with the first game, you can now switch which player you control, long-range shots are much less effective, and the goal is smaller, which makes scoring a matter of working the ball into good positions. Drawn matches can be settled by a replay, a penalty shootout or sudden death.

How it plays in your browser

This page emulates the Neo Geo version, so the teams, commentary and presentation match the original release. It runs directly in the browser without a download.

Matches are short, so it works well for a quick game. Two players can face each other if both have controls set up.

Tips worth knowing

  • Work the ball close to goal before shooting, since the smaller goal makes long shots unreliable.
  • Switch to the defender nearest the ball quickly when you lose possession instead of chasing with the same player.
  • Pass around opponents in midfield rather than trying to dribble through a crowd.
  • Pick a strong team from your region for the qualifying round, as losing it ends your run before the tournament begins.
