Hajime No Ippo The Fighting is a boxing game for the Game Boy Advance, developed by the legendary studio Treasure and released in Japan in December 2002. It is widely considered one of the best handheld boxing games, often compared favorably to the Punch-Out!! Series.

Key Features and Gameplay

• Boxing Mechanics: The game features a 2D side-scrolling perspective where players can dodge, block, and use special moves. Distance plays a crucial role; certain punches like uppercuts or hooks can only land at close range, while characters with long reach, like Mashiba, can jab from a distance.
• Story Mode: Follows Ippo Makunouchi's journey from his first spar with Miyata to his rematch with Sendō Takeshi for the JBC featherweight title. It features branching paths; for example, losing to Date Eiji leads to a fight against Akira Shigeta.
• Customization: A "Customize Mode" allows players to create a boxer by choosing an existing character's portrait and upgrading their attack, defense, and guard levels using points earned in other modes.
• Character Roster: Includes fan-favorite boxers from the manga/anime such as Ippo, Takamura, Miyata, Sendō, and Mashiba. 

Game Modes

• Story Mode: The primary single-player campaign following Ippo.
• Tournament (Championship) Mode: Allows players to pick any boxer and fight through a gauntlet of 10 increasingly difficult opponents.
• Exhibition Mode: Quick matches against the CPU or practice against a stationary target.
