1. INTRODUCTION

Kinnikuman Muscle Fight is a fighting game made in 2D Fighter Maker '95 based on the long-running Kinnikuman manga/anime. The purpose of this page is to provide an English resource for players new to the game. Muscle Fight is still receiving updates as of 2023; this page will be kept up-to-date to reflect the latest information about the game.

2Dbattle is the official Muscle Fight website. There is also a Muscle Fight Wiki.

We recommend the use of the Muscle Gear utility, which adds features and game modes.

Joystick Controls:

If your stick is not recognized or if you need to reassign Up, Right, Down and Left you'll need to use Joy2Key.

5. FREE SLOT CHARACTERS

2D Fighter Maker '95 provides a limited number of character slots. To get around this limitation, five character slots are designated as "Free Slots." A Free Slot character can be added to the game by copying his .player file to the main Muscle Fight folder and overwriting one of the existing Free Slot character files.

Alternate & Recoloured characters can be added to the game by copying their .player files to the Muscle Fight folder and overwriting the characters' existing .player files.

The Muscle Gear utility allows you to add extra character slots to the game, bypassing the need to overwrite characters.

6. MUSCLE GEAR

Muscle Gear is a utility that lets you add and re-order character slots in Muscle Fight, removing the need to swap Free Slot/Alternate characters. It also adds new game modes and quality of life changes to Muscle Fight (including the ability to continue after losing), and is highly recommended.

By default, Kinnikuman Muscle Fight has two game modes:

  1. Single Player
  2. Two-Player

Muscle Gear adds the following modes to the game:

  1. Story
  2. Battle
  3. Survival
  4. True Story
  5. Team Competition
  6. Tournament
  7. League
