* If your opponent's health is very low towards the end of round 1, but you haven't knocked him down twice yet, it might be a good idea to avoid knocking him down and waiting to do it at the beginning of round 2. Then you have lots of time to knock him down twice more for a TKO. This stategy is most important against Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man. (Of course, if you have already knocked him down twice, you may as well knock him down a third time for a round 1 TKO.)

After round 1 or 2, you can press {{nes|Select}} while Doc is talking to you. You will see Doc pumping his fist faster. When you start the next round you will regain health. However, if your health meter is full or very close to it, you will ''lose'' health instead (this can be done before round 1 to make the match harder). The code can be activated only once per fight. If your health is low but you're otherwise doing well, this trick will regenerate a very large portion of your health. On the other hand, if you took a huge beating and are very close to losing, it will give you a sliver of health at best.

Why does 800 422 2602 give you a busy signal? Easy: that's Nintendo's old customer service number!
Another World Circuit is a new way to take on the Major and World Circuit fighters. In one long circuit, you play through the King Hippo and Great Tiger matches, the entire series of World Circuit fighters, and the Dream Fight (with Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream being called "MChampionn"/"Another Champion" - ''Champion'' replacing the middle letters of M''ike Tyso''n). If you lose even ''one'' fight, it's Game Over. Unfortunately, if you can already beat the World Circuit pretty easily, this will not provide much extra challenge, but it can make the game a little more interesting.
