Released in November 1988.
This game is known in Japan as "Hard Puncher - Ketsumamireru no Eikou".
There are plenty of references to "Contra" such as Jabbin Jim and Gentleman Joe looking similar to Bill Rizer and Lance Bean : Contra's 2 main characters. not only that, but one of the CPU contenders named Red Falco is a reference to what else? Red Falcon, the extraterrestial arch-enemy from Contra.
Another of the CPU contenders, Iron Drago is a spoof of Ivan Drago, the boxer from the 1985 film 'Rocky IV'.
Finally, Black Stallion, the final contender is a spoof of Mike Tyson.
