Battle Bull (バトル・ブル) is a top-down action video game for the original Game Boy; released in 1990 in Japan and 1991 in North America.
The player controls a driver of an excavation vehicle as he competes in a 48-level tournament of drilling things. [3]
Players may kill rival drivers only by pushing huge stones at them. [3] Most of the other stones are a permanent part of the cavern; while others can be used to eliminate the opponents. [3] Money is earned after each level for the purpose of upgrading the player's vehicle. [3] Players can improve their engines, purchase extra lives, shovels that can dig better, and weapons to improve the odds on the playing field. [3] A kill ratio is required to be met in order to reach the next stage. [3] Otherwise, the player remains in the current level.
After finishing all 48 levels, the game proclaims that the "battle is over" and that the player becomes "the new champion. [4]" The final scene in the game is where the player looks over the sunset with his girlfriend along with the closing credits. [4]
