The King of Fighters '97 is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for eight players, seven of whom can be human, with Red reserved for the computer. The story follows a villain who wakes after 1800 years intending to ruin the world, and only one powerful hero can stop him. Teams are not used, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. Players field Necropolis, Dungeon, Castle, Rampart, Conflux (two players), Stronghold and Tower. Rock covers about 42 percent of the terrain and water about 17 percent.
