Kizuna Encounter / Super Tag Battle
This game not only pioneered the introduction of a tag system for the
fighting game genre, but it also initially tested as a 4 player MULTI-LINK title.
The released version of the game actually contains the programming code for
this option and can be accessed and viewed with a debug bios chip. However,
without the special dual jamma connector interface board, the functions and
controls for players 3 and 4 cannot be utilized properly. A picture of this
unique board can be seen below. Speculation tells us that World Heroes was
also initially intended to use a MULTI-LINK feature as well, but this has never
been proven and the released programmed version does not appear to contain the
data. Either way, it is pretty safe to assume that the cartridges were not
assigned altered game codes as was once considered a possibility.
