The fighters use different size orb sprites similar to Vectorman, roughly as a quick count between 24-26 balls in total (possibly a couple more, some of the orbs have their pieces split into tiles while others are in full).
I don't know if it does have a model system but looking into the sprite viewer, the sprites are layered so some are on top and some are on the bottom regarding the fighters.
The background floor does use Model 7.
