Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 features eleven boxers, eight of whom are available from the start. Three more can be unlocked as additional boxers, including two real-life celebrities. The game has three main modes: Arcade mode, where you can jump into a match straight away; Survival mode, similar to Arcade but with no health restoration; and Championship mode, which lets you take your boxer through their entire career.
The Championship mode is the most in-depth, allowing you to train your boxer between matches. Training involves exercise mini-games like weightlifting and using the speed bag, which affect stats like stamina, speed, and power. Before a fight, boxers are introduced by announcer Michael Buffer, and during a match, two meters track their health and stamina. Losing health means getting knocked down, while losing stamina affects punch power.

How to Play
GETTING STARTED
Please follow the instructions below before attempting to play this game.

•
Insert the Nintendo GAME BOY® ADVANCE Game Pak into the slot on the back of the Game Boy Advance body, label facing AWAY from play side.
•
Slide the POWER switch to the ON position to turn ON the power.
•
Follow gameplay instructions throughout this manual.
START
Your journey into the ring begins here. Press START at the game's Title Screen to access the Main Menu. This is where you will be able to play different game modes as well as change the game's options.
GAME MODES
•
ARCADE: Pick a boxer and head straight into the ring.
•
CHAMPIONSHIP: Select a boxer and help them win the championship belt. Check out pages 11-13 for more information.
•
SURVIVAL: Find out how many rivals you can beat without losing on page 14.
•
OPTIONS: Adjust a variety of settings in the game to suit your needs. See the following page for more.
OPTIONS MENU
At the Main Menu, use the Control Pad to highlight OPTIONS, then press the A Button. To adjust an option, highlight the option to be changed and then press Left and Right on the Control Pad to cycle through the different settings for that option. To view the second set of options, highlight the arrow at the bottom of the screen and press the A Button. Follow the same instructions to return to the first options screen. When you are finished making your adjustments, press START to return to the Main Menu.
•
KNOCKDOWNS: Deals with the number of knockdowns it will take to either win or lose the bout. You can set the number of knockdowns from 1 to 9.
•
ROUND TIME: Choose from quick 15 second rounds all the way up to the regulation 3 minute rounds.
•
ROUNDS: Set the number of rounds in a match. Choose from 1 round up to 9 grueling rounds.
PLAYING THE GAME
CHOOSE YOUR BOXER
After selecting a game mode, you will be able to choose a boxer. Use the Control Pad to highlight the boxer you want to use and press the A Button to select them.
•
Enter Password: If you've saved a password from a previous progression through Championship Mode, you can enter it to continue where you left off. You can also build up your character in Championship Mode, then enter the password when playing in Arcade or Survival Mode. This really helps when playing Survival Mode, because you'll need all the strength and stamina you can muster to win.
PRE-FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
At the start of each fight, each boxer will be introduced by the one and only Michael Buffer, the Voice of Champions™. After the introductions, get ready to come out swinging!
CHAMPIONSHIP MODE
The goal of Championship Mode is to take a boxer and move them up the ranks to become a champion, while earning money to buy supplements. At the Main Menu, highlight CHAMPIONSHIP MODE and press the A Button. Next you can select your boxer or enter a password. We'll get to passwords in a few moments.
The Championship Menu gives you vital information such as your boxer's current attributes and ranking as well as how much money your boxer has. While in this menu you can enter fights, train your boxer and get passwords to save your progress. To get a password, highlight PASSWORD and press the A Button. Next, write down the password (don't lose it!) and press START to return to the Championship Menu. Now let's get into how to make your boxer a champ!
TRAINING YOUR BOXER
Even the best need training once in a while. Since your boxer isn't that great yet, you'll need to train them. Training helps increase your boxer's attributes: Strength (STR), Stamina (STM) and Speed (SPD). These attributes are crucial to becoming a champion and should be conditioned often.
Highlight TRAIN BOXER and press the A Button. You will see a small screen appear showing you the different training games you can play. Press Left and Right on the Control Pad to view each game. Your player's attributes at the bottom of the menu will show you how much your attributes will rise with each specific game.
When building attributes, remember to build them equally without working on one specific attribute. After all, what good is a strong boxer without any stamina to last in the fight? Vitamin Program and Rumble Mass are not games and will cost you a small amount of money in order to use them. To play the other games, select the one you want to play and press the A Button. Next, press Right on the Control Pad to set your training schedule. You can only train up to your next fight date, so make sure to build the attributes you need! When your training schedule has been determined, press the A Button to continue. Next, select the level of training you're going to train on (1 is Easy, 2 is Medium and 3 is Hard) and press the A Button again to begin playing. Each game will give you instructions on how to play the game, so pay attention!
FIGHT CLASSIFICATION
There are two types of fights you must enter. The first type is a TITLE FIGHT. A Title Fight is where your boxer challenges another for their title, allowing you to move up the ranks to World Champion. The second type is a PRIZE FIGHT. This is where your boxer can win money. This is accomplished by wagering money before the fight. After you select Prize Fight and press the A Button, you can bet

Tips & Maps
RUMBLE MODE
Every time you cause enough damage with a punch, you will earn a letter in the word RUMBLE. You can also Taunt your opponent to earn a letter, but be warned that you are defenseless while taunting. When you earn all the letters, you can go into Rumble Mode by pressing both the L and R Buttons at the same time, causing your gloves to glow.
RUMBLE FLURRY
While in Rumble Mode, press the A and B Buttons to perform a Rumble Flurry, a combination of powerful punches that does serious damage. There are three levels; every time you spell RUMBLE without activating Rumble Mode, your flurry becomes stronger, and spelling it three times sends the opponent flying out of the ring.
