Characters
The player can choose from one of five characters. These are the names of the characters for the American game, with the Japanese names right next to them:
- Hack/Rick Norton, the street brawler. Compared to Rival Turf!, Norton is more imposing and one of his throws is a deadly German suplex. He now wears bandages around his pants' lower legs to protect his shins. His boss stage is a platform surrounded by a steel cage.
- Slash/Douglas Bild, the police officer, who has gained more size as well and wears yellow boots that also go up to half his calf. He can no longer do a Frankensteiner, but his power bomb is much stronger. His alternate throw is an Atomic Drop from the back (in the Japanese version it is an Atomic Drop from the front, which is a direct shot to the groin; Nintendo of America censored the move for Western markets). His boss stage is a construction platform that is raised and lowered as the battle goes on.
The new characters aiding them are:
- Lord J, the judo master, slow and lumbering but with powerful throws. His boss stage is a temple court;
- Kazan, the ninja, very quick and able to split himself in half to slash foes. His boss stage is a ninja dojo training room which can rotate and has spikes on the floors (which become walls as the room rotates);
- Wendy Milan, the professional wrestler, rather quick for the powerful moves she can execute. Her boss stage is a conventional wrestling ring whose ropes she can jump on to execute flying attacks (a player-controlled Wendy cannot do this, however).
In a one-player game, a "partner" will chosen for the player at random by the CPU. The remaining characters thereafter (or, rather, clones of them per the Japanese storyline) will be chosen as bosses for the first three levels. The remaining level ends with a battle against the final boss, Dieter/Iceman, a martial artist with an extendable and flexible staff.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Philosophy is written in this grand bookI mean the universe
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (15641642)
