(I) [Introduction]
- Story -
A one-player story mode in which your character receives a letter that tells
of a treasure called 'Maneki Neko' that can grant any wish. However, 12
ingredients are needed to make the wish. So the character goes on a journey
to find the ingredients, fighting rivals along the way.
After beating all the opponents and gathering all the ingredients, Herb will
appear and issue a final challenge.
- Features -
The most Street Fighter-like Ranma game of the entire series, Chougi Rambuhen
offers a lot more than any of the past Ranma fighting games. More options are
available, and the graphics and sound have been given another boost in
quality.
Ranma ½ Chougi Rambuhen also features an innovative Tag Battle feature, in
which each player selects two characters and can switch between them during
the match. Only one character per team fights at once while the other slowly
heals, and the player can tag between them after certain amounts of time.

(VI) [FAQ]
- Why does all the text make no sense?
Because it's in Japanese. Ranma ½ - Chougi Rambuhen is a Japanese Super
Famicom game.
- Is there an English version?
In 1994, the game was to be ported to the American Super Nintendo by Toho
under the title "Ranma ½ II - Anything-Goes Martial Arts". It was sadly
cancelled, despite the advertisements in several game magazines. Rumors
persist that Rumiko Takahashi was displeased with the quality of the
voice acting in the game, and that lead to its dismissal.
- Can I play this game on my American Super Nintendo system?
No, and yes. The cartridge will work in an American console, but there are
two plastic tabs inside the cartridge slot that prevent imported game from
fitting in properly. They can be easily removed with a pair of pliers, but
doing so voids the console's warrenty (which probably expired years ago
anyway). In any case, do so at your own risk.
