Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle is a 1996 weapon-based fighting game produced by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platform. It is the sequel to Savage Reign. The European Neo-Geo home cartridge PAL release was rare, with only five known copies, making it a sought-after item in video game collecting (the Japanese AES version is not rare and is identical except for the packaging and inserts).

Like its predecessor, it was ported to PlayStation 2 (released in Japan only), this compilation was re-released in the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 4 in December 2016. The Neo Geo version was released for the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 28, 2011.

On October 11, 2025, the game was released for PCs (Steam), as a part of the Neo Geo Premium Selection by Code Mystics as Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle "4Way Battle Version", this version features 4 players and online play with rollback netcode.
