Nettō! Gekitō! Quiz-tō!! (熱闘! 激闘! クイズ島!! Hot Fighting! Fierce Fighting! Quiz Island!!) is a quiz arcade game released by Namco in 1993 exclusively in Japan . The game runs on hardware made by the company NA-2. It is the second game from the company for which knowledge of all three Japanese writing systems (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji) is essential if players wish to succeed (the first was Bakuretsu Quiz Ma-Q Dai Bōken, which had been released the previous year).
Players must help four characters named Kufū (工夫), Hana No Sei (花の精), Koseibutsugakusha (古生物学者) and Nōfu (農夫) regain control of an island by answering multiple-choice questions like, "What did Scott and Stanley have to do to regain the crown's lost jewels in Bakuretsu Quiz?". Each of the characters starts out in one of the island's four corners and conquers a square once they have cleared its stage. They can then decide which square they want to move on to next by pressing one of the Answer Buttons. If one character moves onto another's conquered square it will invoke a special type of quiz in which the conquered square's owner will set the trespasser's eight questions (and there shall be a keyword that is common to all eight answers).
If the trespasser answers all eight questions correctly, he (or she, in the case of Hana No Sei) will take possession of the square. If the trespasser gets one wrong, the owner will send the trespasser back to their last conquered square. If there are fewer than four players, four characters named Chisogin Bob (地底人ボブ), Ringu (リング), Makoto (まこと) and Pochi (ポチ) shall fill in for the missing ones (until they have been defeated).
Most of the stages have four questions to answer, but some only two or three. Some may contain picture questions, while others may include questions from four different genres. Some stages also have questions that players receive twice the usual time bonus for answering, or decrease the required number of correct answers by one before they start.
Once all thirty-six squares on the island have been conquered by the last surviving player, the one and only boss, Chitei Daimao (地底大魔王) shall emerge from underneath the island for the first time in 300 years (meaning that the last time he did it would have been in 1693); he has three different phases, and each time the last surviving player answers all eight questions in one phase correctly, he will change color (in the case of the third phase, he will explode). The player will then be treated to the unique ending sequence of his or her character - however, unlike in Exvania, all four of them have positive endings.
