When Haggar became Mayor of Metro City, he thought he had put his street fighting days behind him for good. No such luck – his delectable daughter, Jessica, has been kidnapped by the lawless Mad Gear Gang and Haggar must face his Final Fight! This version replaced Cody with Guy as a selectable character (with a new opening and ending sequence explaining Cody’s absence), included four difficulty settings, and added other new features such as two new power-ups, although the Industrial Area stage and the Two-Player mode were still omitted.
An American version of the game (featuring the same changes in the localization as in the first game) was released in June 1994 as a rental-only game that was initially available at Blockbuster stores, although it was later given a limited release. Kajino’s music port was retained for that version.
