Final Fight One is a port of Capcom's timeless arcade classic to the GBA. Although it features the same graphics as the SNES port, it restores Guy and the missing industrial stage as well as adding system-link co-op gameplay. It also features tons of onscreen enemies, remixed enemy waves, alternate costumes for Cody and Guy, and boss cutscenes.
Despite restoring so much content from the original Final Fight, Poison and Roxy are still censored as Sid and Billy. Also, the music for the Industrial Stage is missing. This game has a few powerups introduced in Final Fight Guy: one that gives a 1-Up and one that grants brief invincibility.
Final Fight ONE is the best port of Capcom's legendary brawler. It's basically what the SNES version should have been: all three characters, all six stages, and difficulty that occasionally exceeds the original. Of course, it has the SNES version's graphics, although the music's been re-worked and improved. Having a portable version of FF is priceless.
