World Boxing is an interesting first-person boxing game for the Famicom. It
is relatively short, featuring eight opponents that you must face in your
quest to become the heavy-weight champion of the world. The controls and the
general layout of the gameplay may take a bit of getting used to; in fact, I
recommend you have a turbo controller when playing this, especially if you
happen to not be very good at the game! I personally did not think this was
one of the better boxing games around, but even for just the experience,
check this out if you wish.

Gameplay
========
When you start off, you can pick from Single Play (one-player mode) or V.S
Play (two-player mode). You will then go to a screen where you can either
begin the game or enter a numeric password to continue a previous game.
After you decide on the game mode, you will be able to pick your fighter.
There are three to choose from, one from each major nation represented
(America - ABA, Canada - CBA, and Japan - JBA). There is no discernable
difference between them, so choose whatever nation you like best. If you use
Up/Down on the Control Pad, you can pick if you are right (top) or left-
handed (bottom).
In the top right area, you will see your current ranking in each of the three
nations. For the nation you picked, you will initially be ranked #3, and
unranked in the others. The goal is to be #1 in all three areas, hence eight
matches in the game. You can also decide on what opponent you will face next,
so if you want to face a CBA opponent instead of your current JBA/ABA one,
you can do that. That way, if you want to raise your rank in one nation
first, you will be able to do it.
In an actual match, the screen will be split in two. Your view will be the
top, and your opponent's view will be the bottom. That way, you can see what
your opponent is about to do by watching the bottom screen, and act
accordingly. In the middle area, you will see a meter that gradually fills as
you are inactive. The more it is filled, the harder your punch will be when
it connects. Of course, if you get hit, your meter will be emptied, and vice
versa. The objective is to deplete the opponent's energy bar.
If your energy bar is empty, you will be knocked to the floor and have 10
seconds to get up before losing the match. To get up, you must press A
repeatedly to fill the meter (a turbo controller is essential here, trust
me). Once you get up after being knocked down, your energy bar will be
partially restored, but obviously with less energy than you had when starting
the match. If you get knocked down three times, you will lose by KO; the same
goes for your opponent.
After each match, you will receive a password in case you wish to continue
the tournament at a later time. The passwords are quite lengthy, so be sure
to write them down!

Debug Mode
==========
To access Debug Mode, hold A + B on both controllers and press the Reset
button. Release the buttons, then when you get to the title screen, press A +
B + Start on Controller 1. If done correctly, you will enter the Debug Mode,
where you can tweak the game settings, hear the sound test, etc.
