Sumo Fighter: Tōkaidō Basho
Summary. The main character named Bontaro Heiseiyama goes to Kyoto to save Kayo. "Tōkaidō" is an eastern sea road, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto, in Japan. The player can get experience and grow a sumo wrestler. Heiseiyama can perform four special techniques: "harite", "shiko", "buchikamashi" and "nage". "Harite" is slapping the opponent's face with an open hand, "Shiko" creates quake and all the enemies will be damaged, "Buchikamashi" is charge and it is more powerful than "Harite", however it isn't effective against all bosses. "Nage" is throwing. If the enemy is stopped  by his "Harite", he can throw. Before starting the game, the player can choose the difficulty mode (level select): easy or hard. There are five areas, each area has three stages and a boss. In each area, the player has access once to a bonus stage. There are three kinds of bonus stages: Kamizumo, Yubizumo and Udezumo. "Yubizumo" is Thumbs Wrestling, "Udezumo" is like Arm Wrestling, and finally "Kamizumo" is Paper Sumo. When the player clears a stage, a password will be displayed. After beating the game on hard mode, the player can play on a Super mode. In order  to get all the ending text and credits, the game has to be finished in all the three difficulty levels. Each playthrough gets harder and the higher difficulties also pit the player against new enemies as well as giving bosses extra special moves. The following is a message from the game producer for the players: "Even if you are good at this game, you can't grow as a sumo wrestler."
