Game Play
After the target appears and the punch pad has risen completely, begin straight-punching in the middle of the pad as hard as you can. You are allowed three punches for each game. When the score in the upper right of the screen shows the remaining target resistance as zero, you have knocked out your opponent.
If you succeed in defeating your opponent with three punches, there will be a winning ending. If not, there will be a losing ending. The game ends after three punches, regardless of the results.
