Mighty Final Fight
Tips & Strategies

Here are some tips to get you through the only game that was so popular for Super NES that it was converted to NES:

Bonus Strength Trick:

Start the game as Hagger, but let yourself be killed by the enemies three times. Continue your game as either Guy or Cody, and you will have Hagger's strength levels. Neat!

Character Choice:
Here are the characters you can select and what they can do:
Hagger - Slow, but really powerful wrestler
Cody - Fast, but weak boxer/karate master
Guy- Moderate speed and strength ninja

All of them have an equal chance at winning the game. Personally, I'd recommend Hagger for beginners, Guy for good players, and Cody for masters. Or, using the power trick, you can have all of Cody's speed with Hagger's strength - the best fighter.

General Tips:

Punch steel drums during bonus rounds to reveal food and items. Try not to eat food until you are almost out of life. BBQ will restore all life. If enemies start ganging up on you, try using your character's toss maneuver to knock a few of them down, then start punching the others like mad. Use power moves, like Cody's knee bash and throw, Hagger's pile driver, and Guy's leg toss, to max out your experience levels. Most important tip: Try to attack enemies at an angle, preferably being slightly below them. This allows you to inflict damage on them while they have a problem hitting you. Avoid enemies by staying above them. Beware, enemies can use the same tactics against you!

Level/Boss strategies:

The Slums: intro level. Not hard. Boss: Thrasher- avoid his jumping attack as he will try to sit on you. Unlike the other bosses, he can be grabbed easily for set up with power moves. Try this combo, jump kick him, get near him, then when he gets up, pummel him with punches.

Riverside: Move around a lot to avoid the female enemies' jumping attacks. Boss: Katana. This boss moves very quickly and charges at you. You will need quick reflexes to defeat him. Stay in the middle of the screen at let him come towards you. If he starts to charge you, get out of his way. If you want to be more daring you can try to jump kick or punch him, but you will need very fast reflexes to defeat his charge successfully. After Katana thrusts his swords, he leaves himself wide open to attack - the perfect time for you to execute a special move. After knocking Katana down, he is likely to look stunned, but then he will immediately charge you again.

Harbor Town: Toss enemies into the pit to kill them quickly. When you enter the building, some enemies will be hiding in the ceiling, waiting to drop down on you. Keep an eye at the top of the screen. Boss: Abigail. Abigail is very strong, very tough, and very fast - a bad combination for you. Don't go near Abigail because he has a knack for grabbing you and then executing devastating special moves, including kissing you to death! During battle, his face will light up red and he will charge you followed by a punch that equals instant death. Avoid this at all costs!!! Fortunately, when Abigail misses, he is wide open for a very, very brief moment, which is your only opportunity to attack him without injury.

Factory: While not a boss, the large enemy known as Andre Jr. charges often at you. Try using the angle tactic as well as the jumping attack to stop his charge. Boss: Katana II. Apply same techniques as fighting Katana I. Note: Katana II will throw down his swords near the end of the fight at try to charge you endlessly.

Bay Area: Lots of high power enemies like Andre Jr. here. Progress slowly and don't let enemies gang up on you. Boss #1: Abigail - use same tactics as before. Boss #2: Katana III- use same tactics as before - you may want to use more safe, jumping attacks because you'll want to save your health for the final boss. Boss #3: Mad Gear Boss. While he doesn't shoot crossbow arrows like in the arcade version and the SNES conversion, this boss fires out his hand like a rocket. DON'T APPROACH HIM DIRECTLY!!! He possesses ungodly strength and direct attacks will just lead to his use of the rocket fist or other attacks to cause your death. Move around a lot and try to gradually wear him down. If you mange to knock him down, get away from him immediately, or he will retaliate. Many times during battle he will start laughing at you. Use this chance to attack him with your most powerful moves and combinations.
