Nekketsu! Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes (熱血!すとりーとバスケット ~がんばれDunkHeroes~?) is a sports video game produced by Technos Japan Corp. and this is the final Kunio-kun game for the Family Computer.

Summary

The Super Famicom would become mainstream during this era while the Family Computer software was beginning to go out of circulation permanently. It was re-released for the Game Boy Advance on August 25, 2005 as part of Kunio-kun Nekketsu Collection 1.

This video game has Kunio, Riki, Godai (from Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari) and Johnny (from Bikkuri Nekketsu Shin Kiroku) in the starring roles. The player's home court is at Niagara Falls and players have their equipment improved after they win a game in "story mode." The U.S. Navy even appear as an opponent in this game. Every game is two-on-two with baskets being able to be broken by shots and slam dunks.

Other opponents include New York (a team of hip hop-obsessed boys), Florida (a team of researchers at the Space Center), Texas (a team of countryside boys), Hawaii (stereotypical surfer team), San Francisco (a team of very powerful bodybuilders), and Las Vegas (a team of magicians).
