The story of the game is that Team Southside (Team Nekketsu), led by Jeff "Crash" Cooney (Kunio) and friends, has won the All-City Track Meet yet again. Todd (Todou) has had enough of the losses his team endured because of them and decides to issue a challenge to Crash and his team. To raise the stakes, he invited two other high schools and another team sponsored by his wealthy father, determined to beat Cooney one way or another.

!!Tropes:
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The Computer-controlled opposition always seems to do better than the player in every event.
** If you're lucky, the computer will actually screw up from time to time in Hammer Golf and Roof Top Jumping, giving you a little bit of hope of winning in those events.
*** 400m Hurdles: The Computer will hardly lose speed and perform the spin kick more easily than the player.
*** Hammer Golf: The Computer will always throw the hammer at full power unless he's in the rough or a sand bunker.
*** Swimming: The Computer can swim faster and punch faster.
*** Roof Top Jumping: The Computer, using a preset sequence of actions, will usually get very far or all the way to the goal.
*** Fighting Scene: The Computer will usually overpower the player in a grapple unless they're good at button-mashing or using a turbo-fire controller.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: You can actually play any of the Events with a character that has 0 HP. But as soon as they fall down or get hurt, they're dead.
* CulturalTranslation: The cosmetic change from a Japanese Olympics Event to an American Underground Competition extends to the team rosters as well. However, Rengō was the only team that did not have its team roster altered.

* FollowTheMoney: Strangely enough, you can collect extra Gold Medals in all of the events.
* FreeFallFight: The Umbrella Battle event in the Game Boy version, which replaced the Swimming event.
* GoldSilverCopperStandard: The fact that you use your medals to buy stuff is played with a very weird exchange rate (1 Gold = 10 Silver = 100 Bronze).
** CheapGoldCoins: The Game Boy version does away with the Silver and Bronze Medals.
* HotBlooded: Part of the Japanese version's title.
* HurricaneKick: One of the methods of attack in 400m Hurdles.
** AntiFrustrationFeatures: For the price of just 2 Gold, you can buy an item that lets your character do the Hurricane Kick automatically, saving you the hectic trouble of trying to do the move manually.
* ImprovisedWeapon: You can use a hurdle bar as a throwing weapon or to do a spin attack.
* JokeCharacter: Out of all 25 of the game's athletes, Milo has the worst stats.
* LeParkour: The ''Roof Top Jumping'' event.
* LetsPlay: Done by LetsPlay/ProtonJon with three other friends on 6/17/2012.
* LightningBruiser: Crash, Todd, Artie, Skip, Monty, Spreck, and Clint.
* MadeOfIron: Eveyone in this game gets hit with kicks, punches, hurdle bars, hammers, and special attacks and will never show any signs of damage for it.
* NeverSayDie: Getting hit or falling down with Zero Health always results in fainting.
* NintendoHard: Due to hardware limitations, the Game Boy version is much worse than the NES version. (If you can actually believe that.)
* PoisonMushroom: Somewhat. You can buy an item at the health food store that will poison another character and reduce their HP to 1%. The big problem with this item is that the athlete who gets poisoned is picked at random. You can even poison your own teammates (except for the selected athlete you're shopping with) if you're unlucky!
* PowerupLetdown: Some of the items at the Sports store are not worth buying.
** Greaser: Patches of sticky grease appear to slow down the opponent.
** Tacks: Patches of small spikes appear to cause scratch damage to the opponent.
** Spazz Roll: Break through any hurdle with a roll attack. Can only be used three times per heat.
** Roller: Lets the hammer go farther upon landing but increases your risk of going into sand or water.
** Webbing: An unnecessary upgrade that lets you swim faster.
** Sonic Jab: Throws a fireball that expends all your power and does little damage.
** Big Attack: RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. When grappling, this lets you drain the opponents power faster if your losing. Useless with fast button-mashing or turbo-fire.
* PromotedToPlayable: An interesting case: Todou and Yamada, who were Todd and Skip respectively in the American release, were {{Non Player Character}}s in the Japanese version. Other players who were [=NPCs=] in the Japanese version became playable in the American version and vice versa. For a straighter example, Oklahoma High School can be unlocked by a cheat code in the Japan-only Game Boy version.
* SelectiveGravity: Floating Medals can be collected in ''Hammer Golf'' and ''Roof Top Jumping''.
* ShoutOut: ''Scott Pilgrim'' pays homage to Crash N The Boys by featuring a band named after the game.
* StatusBuff: The Item Shop offers these which only last after one event.
** Sneakers: Temporarily boosts Speed.
** Armor: Temporarily boosts Defense.
** Knuckles: Temporarily boosts Attack.
** Item kit: Get a combination package of Sneakers, Armor, and Knuckles for the price of 3 Gold.
* ThereAreNoRules: The contest of this game is intentionally hosted with no rules or officials to forbid the use of violence or any other means to achieve victory. Therefore, it is (by definition) illegal and unsanctioned.
* UnnecessaryRoughness: Mandatory in the head-to-head events.
* UnstableEquilibrium: The reward for placing 1st in an event is 15 Gold which can translate to a crushing lead or an insurmountable defeat later on.
* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: Competitors have the option of Knocking Out each other to win the ''400m Hurdles'', ''Swimming'', ''Fighting Scene'', and ''Umbrella Battle'' events.
** The Secondary Objective to winning ''400m Hurdles'' is to Cross the Finish Line first.
** The Secondary Objective to winning ''Swimming'' and ''Fighting Scene'' is to have the most health when time runs out.
** The Secondary Objective to winning the umbrella-fighting event in the Game Boy version is to be the one with the umbrella before reaching the ground.
