The game has been downloaded over 10 million times as of March 2023.

Gameplay Information
"Burrito Bison is one of the fiercest wrestlers around, but outside of the ring, he just wants to live a normal life. All of that changed during one fateful grocery trip; He was sucked into a world of sentient gummy bears, who wanted him to fight for their amusement. This started Burrito Bison's rivarly with the spiteful sweets, fending them off alongside his fellow Launchadors!

Naturally, Burrito Bison's getting a little deja vu from the situation the Nexus Tournament has put him in. These new fighters seem a lot friendlier than the gummy bears, though, so why not show them the ropes and score the Winner's Wish while he's at it?"

Burrito Bison is a standard heavyweight grappler, having generally poor mobility, but a strong grab game and considerable weight. However, his specials can help him circumvent his mobility issues - His Side Special serves as a great approach option if timed well, while his Down Special helps him overcome his usually high landing lag.

However, should Burrito Bison become predictable, his opponent will have no trouble trapping him in combos or dodging his attacks. This requires Burrito Bison mains to be aggressive, but also mix up their options in order to succeed.
