| ==Gameplay==
| | '''Boxing''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game that is featured in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. The original Game & Watch version was released on July 31, 1984. The "Modern" version of the game features [[Luigi]] as a playable character. This [[minigame]] has three opponents: a [[Wiggler]], a [[Big Boo]], and [[Waluigi]]. Luigi has to beat all his opponents. After that he has to repeat the fighting order along with winning a [[coin]], a [[trophy]], or a Championship Belt. As the player advances in the game, the enemies get more difficult to defeat. |
| ===Classic version===

| Two boxers start with 50 stamina points each. The player starts with a maximum of five energy bars, while the opponent starts with two. For each hit a boxer takes, he loses one point. If pushed back, that boxer loses three points. If KO'd, the boxer loses four points, and an additional point is deducted for each TKO the boxer gets (up to −7 points).
| |
|
| |
|
| A boxer's energy bars reset when he gets pushed back or when he gets up from the canvas. Every time he gets up from the canvas, he receives one energy bar fewer than before. When the number reaches two, the reduction stops. If a boxer has zero points, he receives only one energy bar, and if KO'd with zero points, the boxer loses the match. After each time the player defeats their opponent five times, the opponent's energy bars increase by one (up to five). If the human player boxer loses a match in a one-player game, a [[Game Over]] occurs. If the boxers continue fighting after nine rounds, the boxer with more points wins. If both boxers have the same number of points after nine rounds, the game ends in a draw.
| | Getting one KO earns a coin, getting five earns a [[Yoshi Coin]], ten earns a trophy, and getting fifty earns a Championship Belt. It is [[Game Over]] if Luigi gets KO'd. |
|
| |
|
| If a round takes too long, a brief break occurs, and the match resumes. | | If the player selects the game yet waits several seconds, a humorous sequence will play where several Waluigis pop up from the floor, and Big Boo throws his boxing glove Boo at them in a similar manner to a bowling ball, and is overjoyed at getting a strike. |
|
| |
|
| Game B features a two-player mode in which both boxers start with five energy bars. However, the first player can choose how many energy bars the second player can have, as a handicap game.
| | It is also one of the games in the gallery in the original ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''. |
| | |
| In ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', one star is earned for every three wins.

| | |
| ===Modern version===

| |
| The Modern version of the game features [[Luigi]] as a playable character. This version has three opponents: a [[Wiggler]], a [[Big Boo]], and [[Waluigi]]. Luigi has to beat all his opponents. After that, he has to repeat the fighting order along with winning a [[coin]], a [[trophy]], or a Championship Belt. Luigi and his opponents start with five hit points each, and they reset to five each time one of them gets pushed back.
| |
| | |
| Getting one KO earns a coin, getting five earns a [[Dragon Coin|Yoshi Coin]], getting ten earns a trophy, and getting 50 earns a Championship Belt. It is Game Over if Luigi gets KO'd.
| |
| | |
| Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured.
| |
| | |
| If the player selects the game and waits for a few seconds, a humorous sequence plays. In it, a group of Waluigis pops up from the floor. Then, a Big Boo throws his boxing glove [[Boo]] at them in a similar manner to a bowling ball and is overjoyed at getting a strike.
