Published in 1995 (Japanese title: Tokuten Ou 3 - Eikoue no Michi, "Goal-Scoring King 3: Path to the Glory"), the third game features 64 national teams divided into 8 regions: Europe A: Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Norway, England, Turkey, Portugal, Poland Europe B: Germany, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Romania, Denmark, Wales, Czech Republic Europe C: France, Sweden, Bulgaria, Russia, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Finland Africa: Nigeria, Morocco, Cameroon, Egypt, South Africa, Zambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea Americas: United States, Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Puerto Rico (replaced Honduras), Panama South America: Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, Chile (replaces Paraguay) Asia A: Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Iran, Vietnam, Iraq, Singapore Asia B: Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, U. A. E., Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Malaysia The World Tournament mode is the same as Super Sidekicks 2, above. The new features in this game include naming the player scoring goals for his team and keeping score of how many goals he scores during his team's use by the player. Alongside the "Top Teams" ranking which serves as a high score table for teams, there is a "Top Scorer" table for individual players. The name and use of scoring players is random. The second new feature include regional tournaments, in which a team (from any region) can enter a tournament within its own region or other regions. This is good for those players who like a particular team but don't want to be facing the same opponents every time, as they would if they played the World tournament. Championships include World Tournament (FIFA World Cup), Europe Tournament (UEFA European Football Championship), South America Tournament (Copa América), Americas Tournament (CONCACAF Gold Cup), Africa Tournament (African Cup of Nations), and Asia Tournament (AFC Asian Cup). The game was re-released three years later under the name Neo Geo Cup '98: The Road to the Victory. In order to mirror the 1998 FIFA World Cup, some player names, kits and teams were changed: Croatia replaced Poland Scotland replaced Wales Yugoslavia replaced Finland Tunisia replaced Guinea Jamaica replaced Panama Paraguay returned and replaced Bolivia However, the game played and looked exactly like the original Super Sidekicks 3. Even the goal animations remained unchanged. Once again, SNK failed to get official FIFA license and featured fake names. However, some reflect actual players. Roul represents Raúl of Spain, Dahlgren represents Martin Dahlin of Sweden, and Klinger represents Jurgen Klinsmann of Germany. One note is that in Neo Geo Cup 98, teams instead face teams in their group in the 1998 qualification instead of regions in the game. For example, if you choose Spain, you will face Yugoslavia. However, some are inaccurate. Like if you play England, you face Scotland. And if you play as Brazil, you have to face Uruguay before the World Tournament. But Brazil qualified automatically. The game was also re-released as a part of SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 on PS2, PSP and Wii. Source: Wikipedia, "Super Sidekicks", available under the CC-BY-SA License.
