Mighty Final Fight (マイティ ファイナルファイト Maiti Fainaru Faito?), released in 1993, is a beat 'em up game in the Final Fight series. It is based on the original 1989 arcade game but it stands out from the original with its super-deformed character designs, in which the characters are depicted in a comical childlike manner. All three of the main characters from the original game are featured in this game, along with childlike counterparts of the enemies. The characters have moves that are unique to this game.
Story
Metro City, the crime capital of the world, has been overwhelmed by corruption and violence. At the center of the problem lies the Mad Gear Gang, a merciless band of punks and thugs that controls the city with an iron fist. But Belger, the leader of the gang, wants more than just the city. He has fallen in love with the mayor's daughter, Jessica, and he is going to do whatever it takes to have her.
Belger has plans to marry Jessica and take control of the whole city, but one man stands in the way. After learning that his daughter is kidnapped, Mike Haggar, who is also a former wrestler, gets into a fighting mood and is ready to crack some skulls to get her back. Joining him in the rescue are his friends Guy, a highly trained ninjutsu fighter, and Cody, Jessica's boyfriend and a martial artist who uses a combination of the arts of karate and boxing. Together, nothing is going to stop them from getting her back and restoring peace to Metro City.
Gameplay
This one is a single player and single character game. A player can choose one of the three available characters to control: Guy, Cody, and Haggar, each with his own fighting style and attributes. Haggar is the slowest but his attacks deal the most damage, all moves are simple to use. Guy is the fastest but his attacks deliver the least harm, he has some acrobatic moves that are complicated to execute. Cody has average properties in all those three aspects.
The control system consists of a control pad and two buttons primarily used for attacking and jumping. The start button is used for pausing and resuming. The player characters can move in any direction, but can only face and attack to the left or right like in most beat-'em-ups. They can also grab somebody by walking into them. Once an opponent is in their grasp, some other attack options are available. Cody and Guy can only hit them or throw them. Haggar may also walk and jump carrying an enemy, or even perform a Piledriver. Various items are available for players, continues and strength. Weapons are available for powerful melee and/or projection, they vary depending on who is chosen as the player. Stand where they are and press the B button for picking up.
Level
This version comes with an 'Experience Point Indicator'. Beating with different moves gives different numbers of points. Food gives experience points when the Player Strength Meter is full. Stats improve with each upgrade, the maximum is level 6. Each character requires a different amount of experience to advance:
| Character | (Additional) 'exp' to next 'level' | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 (max) | |
| Cody | 33 | 54 | 90 | 147 | 250 |
| Guy | 27 | 45 | 74 | 122 | 210 |
| Haggar | - | - | 125 | 193 | 370 |
- Cody and Guy are initially at level 1, Haggar begins at level 3.

- It is possible to move right or left while performing the Spinning Clothesline. It is faster than walking.
Complicated Moves
In this game, Cody and Guy have moves which are not described in the official manual. They are not even officially named anywhere. Some of them are difficult to execute.
Cody
The series of attack used to hit an enemy by repeatedly pressing the A button ends with an upward-flying punch. While the Tornado Sweep is being charged, by holding up, the aforementioned move will be performed instead of releasing the projectile.
Guy
Face right, without holding directional buttons, press A, once in mid-air, press left. He will backflip towards the left. Start holding up before landing and press B twice, a horizontally-flying kick to the right will be performed. The same is applicable when the 'left' and 'right' mentioned above are reversed.
An ordinary series of attack by pressing the A button several times in a row finishes with something like the Flash Kick. Another way to launch this attack is to start holding the up direction before the Tornado Kick ends. The unnamed move that immediately follows attacks in the opposite direction.
Rounds
This game consists of rounds (just like stages), as well as two Bonus Stages. Each round takes place in a different region of Metro City. At the end of each round the player will face a boss character.

- Abigail and the shogun bosses all have different palette swaps.

Trivia
- Thrasher asks two questions before fighting, answering 'no' each time makes him lose a little 'strength' from freaking out.
- If the player reaches Murasame without full 'strength', he will offer Cody, Guy or Haggar a drink of water. Selecting 'yes' refills the meter for a prime fight.
- In round 5, hitting the sign with a fork, a knife and meat on it will replenish the player's 'strength'.
