A Treasure fighter with four-player battles, and a Japanese cart that sits above the middle of its group.
Yu Yu Hakusho Makyo Toitsusen is a fighting game based on Yoshihiro Togashi's manga, developed by Treasure and published by Sega. It came out on the Mega Drive in Japan on 30 September 1994 and in Brazil in 1999 as Yu Yu Hakusho: Sunset Fighters. You fight with 11 characters from the manga in standard 2D rounds, and up to four players can play at once, including battle royale, tag-team and tournament modes. Fighters can move between a foreground and a background plane.
It works with both the three-button and the six-button pad. Treasure began it after Gunstar Heroes, as one of four Mega Drive games the company was making for Sega at the same time.

| PlayStation Magazine (JP) | 24.2/30 |
“this is very average stuff and the first disappointment to emerge from Treasure. It may be cheap, but buying this is false economy.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
Before you buy
This is a Japanese Mega Drive cart, and Japanese cartridges are a different shape from Western ones: they fit a Western console only with an adapter or after removing two plastic tabs in its slot. Among Japan-only carts it sits above the middle, and the risk tier is Medium, so ask for a photo of the board before paying. The Brazilian release, Sunset Fighters, is a separate Tectoy cart.
