OBJECTIVE:The objective is to win boxing matches. Before you may enter a boxing match, you must have a Promoter, a Trainer, an Opponent, and sufficient Training.
The Trainer is the red target between the ramp and the left loop. One hit on this target will collect the Trainer.
The Promoter is the kicker hole below the left loop entrance; the plastic over the hole has an image of Don King on it. One shot into the Promoter will collect the Promoter.
An Opponent cannot be attracted until you have a Promoter. Once you have a promoter, spelling F-I-G-H-T via the drop targets will collect an Opponent.
Training may not be collected until you have a Trainer. Once you have a Trainer, training is available via jogging the loops, spinning the spinners (Heavy Bag), or entering the Gym (Speed Bag). The Gym is located underneath the Boxing Arena, and may be entered through the front door behind the Jet Bumper, or via the back door hidden behind the Boxing Arena. A minimum Training level of 50% (as shown on the Training bargraph) is necessary to enter a boxing match. The higher your Trainiing level is, the slower it is to collect more Training. The amount of punishment you can take during a fight is set by your Training level
Once the necessary Trainer, Promoter, Opponent, and Training are collected, the music will change to indicate that you may enter a boxing match. Knock on the Arena Door to open it, and shoot through the door to enter the Boxing match. The Arena Door is just to the left of the right loop spinner, and will be lit by a strobe when it is open.
HOW TO FIGHT:After the introductions, the bell will ring and your opponent will emerge from the far corner; you will emerge from the near corner. Use the Arena flippers to punch your ball into the opponent, sending him to the ropes. The Alphanumeric Display will show your strength and your opponent's strength. Your opponent will move around to avoid your punches and throw punches of his own; later opponents will move faster and absorb more punishment than earlier opponents.
You score punches when you knock your opponent back into his corner. Your opponent scores punches against you when he contacts either of the center two retaining posts, or if your ball drains from the ring. If your ball drains while you have strength remaining, you will be launched back into the ring, and a plunger will briefly protect you from immediately draining again.
Knockdowns
If you drain when you are at a minimum strength level, you will be knocked down and your opponent will return to his corner. If you knock your opponent back into his corner when he is at a minimum strength level, he will be knocked down and your Arena flippers will be disabled to force you to return to your corner. The referee will count to 10 while the downed boxer struggles to his feet; a boxer's ability to recover depends on his training level and how many punches he's taken. You can see your strength recover on the Training bargraph as the referee counts. If the boxer gets back on his feet, both boxers will re-enter the ring and keep fighting. If the count gets to 10, the fight is over!
If you win the boxing match, you will receive 75% of the the Bout Purse. If you lose the match, you will receive only 25% of the Bout Purse.
Fighting Again
After the fight, your ball will be ejected from the Boxing Arena and the Arena Door will close. You will keep your Promoter and Trainer, but you must attract a new Opponent (again by spelling F-I-G-H-T) and replenish your training (especially if you lost the previous fight).
If you win a fight, your ranking will increase, allowing you to skip fighters and reach the champ sooner. If you lose a fight, you must take on the next comer.
Fighting the Champ will result in a STREET FIGHT! Defeat each opponent by spelling FIGHT during a six-ball multiball! Defeating all ten boxers in the Street Fight will collect the Super Jackpot of ten million points!
HYPING A FIGHT
The fight purse can be increased by hitting the Box Office target in front of the Boxing Arena (marked by a red starburst lamp), and by getting your Promoter to hype the fight. You will need to visit the Promoter first for a kickback; once your Promoter has his kickback, he will hype the fight for you. Each time you hit the Promoter to collect Hype, you must hit the Box Office before the Promoter will Hype for you again.
PUNCH POWER
After the Trainer has been collected, Punch Power can be increased via the following methods:
- Loop Combo: Hit the Left and Right loops in rapid succession to light Punch Power.
- Loop and Ramp Combo: Hit either Loop and the Ramp in rapid successtion to light Punch Power.
- Drop Target Bank: Spell F-I-G-H-T after an opponent has been collected to light Punch Power.
Once Punch Power is lit, hit the Trainer to collect a Punch Power increase. The Punch Power lamp only stays lit for ten seconds, so hit the Trainer quickly!
Punch Power greatly increases the damage you do with each punch. Maxing out your Punch Power before a fight can turn a long fight into a short one, and is essential for tougher opponents.
MULTIBALL
There are several multiball modes available. The standard three-ball Multiball is available by sending the ball down the right ramp enough times to spell CHAMPION (or CHAMP, if selected by the operator) and locking a ball in both the Promoter and Weigh-In. Other multiball modes are available as Weigh-In Awards.
During Multiball, the Ring Entrance will score the Jackpot. The Jackpot will increase each time a Jackpot is hit. Hold down either flipper to see the current Jackpot Value in the Status Report.
When only one ball is left after Multiball, a quick shot to the Jackpot will re-start the Multiball mode.
