Title Screen
When the Title Screen appears, push any button to start the game. The Game Select Screen will then be displayed.
Game Select Screen
On this screen you have four choices: Championship, 1 Player Match, 2 Player Match, and Option. Use the Control Pad to move the highlight to one of these selections and then push any button.
Password/Name Screen
You can only get Passwords during Championship play. At the end of each match you win, a Password will appear. After you select one of the game options from the Game Select Screen, the Password screen is displayed.
In 1 Player or 2 Player Matches, if you enter a Password from Championship play you will be able to use the Boxer you had then. You can practice with that Boxer, but his stats will not be improved.
After the Password screen, the Name screen appears and you can give your Boxer a new name. When finished entering a name, press Start and the match will begin. To skip through the Password and Name screens, push Start twice.
Boxer Selection
Eight Boxers are available for you to choose from. The Boxers appear one at a time on the screen. To scroll through them, push the Control Pad left or right.
The more stars next to a stat, the more ability a Boxer has in that area. When the Boxer you want is on screen, push one of the buttons to select him.
In 1 Player and 2 Player Matches, you will next choose your opponent from the eight Boxers. Your opponent can be the same character you are using. After you make your selections, the match begins.

•
"Doesn't punch much, but moves fast!"

•

Victory/Defeat
•
KO: You can win or lose by a KO (Knock out). That is when you or your opponent is knocked down for a Ten Count. Sometimes, if your stamina meter is too low or your stamina is not good, you just cannot get up in time--no matter how fast you push B.
•
TKO: A TKO (Technical Knock Out) is when a Boxer is knocked down either three times in one round or four times in a match. It does not matter how fast the Boxer gets up. This is why it is important to watch the stamina meter and keep it high.
•
JUDGE: Points are awarded at the end of each round by the Judge. The scoring is based on how many punches a Boxer gives and receives. Being called for clinching will count against you. If the Boxers earn the same number of points, a rematch will be fought.
Championship
This is the big league--fighting for the title. It will be you alone working your way up through the ranks, challenging the seven top Boxers in world class competition.
When you are at levels 1-3, you will only fight 4 rounds per match. At levels 4-7 you will fight 10 round matches. Select the Boxer you would like to use, then begin. You cannot choose your opponents.
In Championship play, you have a trainer to help you out. Pay close attention to the advice he will give you before each round. His tips can lead to victory for you.

"You have a lot of chances to get your points back. Don't miss a good chance to hit him your best punch."
Training
After each match, you get the chance to train for the next level of competition. You can choose one of five different exercises to work on. Use the Control Pad to select one of these, then push any button.

1 Player Match
To practice against the other Boxers and develop your skills, go into the 1 Player Match. First you will choose your Boxer, then an opponent. This is a great way to improve reflexes and learn how to trade punches toe-to-toe with the professionals.
You can use a Password to recall your Boxer from Championship play if you would like to workout with him.
2 Player Match
You and a friend can box against each other in the 2 Player Matches. First Player 1 will select a Boxer, then Player 2 will.
All of the same rules for 1 Player Matches and Championship play will apply. You can also use Passwords to select Boxers from the Championship play.
Continue Match Option
This question appears after you lose a match in 1 Player Matches or Championship play. If you answer yes while in 1 Player Match, you will select a new Boxer and opponent and begin. In Championship play, if you answer yes, you keep your Boxer and fight the same opponent.
