The KOF cast decide to settle their differences a new way - quiz battles. When Art of Fighting's Yuri is kidnapped yet again, players pick one of four King of Fighters characters (alongside Samurai Shodown guest characters Haohmaru and Nakoruru) and head out on a journey to rescue her and test their knowledge. The overworld is represented as a board game, with branching paths; players start their turn rolling a die to decide how far to travel, then duel whatever character is at that position in a quiz battle. Characters have health, which they lose at every incorrect answer; run out of health, and it's a game over.
