The unlock system was also much improved: you earned points during battle, which you could spend to unlock characters, stages or other features. In addition to adding game modes and many new characters, each fighter got at least two basic attacks and a powerful finisher. In 2006, a sequel, Jump Ultimate Stars was released. Most fighting is done with the basic buttons, but using support characters, switching battle characters and activating some special attacks require touching the appropriate koma, while the battle takes place on the upper screen. You must have one of each type of koma in your deck. The size of each koma determines if it is a help (1 panel provides a bonus to adjacent characters), support (2-3 panels performs a single attack) or battle character (4+ panels the playable characters). The touch screen has a 5 x 4 grid to place koma on, and the koma you place there form your deck.

Each character has from 1-8 koma (manga panels), each of a different size and shape.

The unique feature of Jump Super Stars is how a team is built. However, some missions require you to collect the most/all of a certain item, and a few (and many unlock goals in otherwise normal stages) have more unusual goals. In most stages, your objective is to simply knock out your opponents more often than they KO you, either by depleting their Hit Points or knocking them off the stage. It gathers many of the popular characters from Weekly Shonen Jump in a Super Smash Bros.-style battle royale. Jump Super Stars is a 2-D fighting game for the Nintendo DS published by Nintendo in Japan in 2005.
