Tony Meola's Sidekicks Soccer is a traditional soccer (football) simulation video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. It is named after US goalkeeper Tony Meola. It went under several names in different markets, such as Super Copa in Latin America and Ramos Ruy no World Wide Soccer (ラモス瑠偉のワールドワイドサッカー, Ramosu Rui no Wārudo Waido Sakkā) in Japan (endorsed by Ruy Ramos). In Brazil, there is also a version called Worldwide Soccer, but it is not modified like Super Copa, it is just the same US version.
The teams in the game include various national teams and some unlicensed club teams from Europe, Japan and America. Players can play with teams from different parts of the United States, including Miami, Los Angeles, and Sacramento.
Mode 7 is used to achieve a pseudo-3D effect similar to that of Sculptured Software's previous NCAA Basketball . There are various options and features, including a variety of soccer formations, corner kicks, and the ability to alter each team's roster.
