The Special Circuit consists of 4 new fighters: Narcis Prince, Hoy Quarlow, Rick Bruiser and Nick Bruiser. After beating Nick Bruiser, the end credits will roll, showing all the fighters you have beaten. At the end of the credits, it will show a screen of Nick knocked out and Little Mac posing victoriously. His victory quote is based on your final win/loss record.
