Garou Densetsu for SFC was released one year after the original on November 27, 1992 in Japan.
This version discards the two-lane system and uses only one plane for battle.
The two-on-one battles are gone in this version. The arm wrestling bonus stage was also replaced by a new game where players punch or kick falling tires on the beach.
The Street Fight mode allowed players to select the same character (Terry Vs. Terry, Andy Vs. Andy, Joe Vs. Joe). Player 2's character always has an alternate color scheme for their character even if they are not fighting the same character. The second player could also select any of the enemy characters, including the final boss Geese Howard.
In Street Fight (1P VS 2P), press Down on controller 2 when player 2 is going to select a character. A new screen that lists each of the enemy characters will appear to be chosen for play.
