Starting with the University of MUSCLE page about it:

http://blog.uofmuscl...ega-match-game/

Going by those pictures, and looking closely at my own board game cover.

 

I've gotten a few more, and some more specifically, and grouped them by color.   All listed from left to right.

* next to what I think I've determined

 

UPDATE: Added three more:   81 and 88 likely.   100 kinda iffy. 

 

Front Five Grape:

*29 Terryman ( C ) (Definitely this version with Kinnikuman Great clothes but unmasked and crying)

152 Mongolman ( B )

1 Kinnikuman (D)
149 Screw Kid ( B )

150 Apollo the Giant + 151 Candelaman mixture

 

Front Five Green:

178 Black Satan

2 Buffaloman ( B ) / Terri-Bull

*37 Dynamite Piper? unless it's just a totally generic guy.  Judging by his build and hair I think it's most likely him, not 160 Chavo.

180 Black Knight (II)
181 Black Bear

 

On top behind wall:

 

Grape:

*14 Robin Mask ( C ) ? (Really looks like shape of top of that version's head)

212 Parthenon

127 Junkman ( B )

120 Cactusman

196 Thief George
193 Cobra Satan
 
Green:
190 Eye Satan
191 Satan King
*Most likely 134 American Football Boss (several indications of shape/details of helmet), but maybe 136 Harigorasu (zooming in on closer image on UoM page about it, sometimes I think I might see shape of an eye in center, though a little too round,.136 also has the most pronounced ears, moreso than 125 BukaA).   Also this dark drawing appears mostly blue but I see hints of green.
186/230 Kendaman with head off
*88 Armstrong (end of flag pole is a little in front but distinct wide visor on round head.  Drawing looks olive green)
85/219 Kinnikuman Zebra
 
Blue:
*100 maybe Bangbangjin? (angular sectional mask. Maybe they put leaf on top of head instead of shoulder)
204 Sneagator (E - turtle)
45 Springman
123/184 Geronimo

*128 Smileman (missing smiles on pecs, but see body details, and probably smiles on top of head)

194 Haniwa Satan

*81 Moaiman (very faint but definitely shape of his head you can see a face on)

Justice Chojin (Seiji Chojin):

Terryman (unmasked Kinnikuman Great II)

Kinnikuman
2 Buffaloman (for longest time between being Devil Chojin)
Ammonite
Dynamite Piper?
Bangbangjin?
Robin Mask?
Thief George (despite his acts)

Devil Chojin (Akuma Chojin):
235 Buffaloman / Terri-Bull (originally and currently, but still cares about Justice guys while fighting Perfects)

Springman
Armstrong (originally)
 
Evil Chojin:

Nice breakdown! I'll have to take a closer look at the box today.

I always found the game board cover art to be reminiscent of the Kinniku-inspired Exogini artwork from the Euroflash album.
I don't think it's the same artist but it does have a similar vibe.

Here is my rendition of the Mega-Match scene from a few years ago:

Looking closely at the first frame of the comic I see what seems to be an inside joke but maybe it's a clue!

AWESOME!!  Thank you - I thought the art looked a little familiar.  I'm going to go look at my old MOTU mini comics now.

 

Thanks again,
