!!The game contains examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion: The game sheds light on the smaller details for Apollo, Lang, and Drago. Apollo fought Duke right before he decided to retire and train him. Lang was in prison when they held a boxing match prison event, before Lang would be released to pursue his own boxing career. Drago was a USSR soldier before being hand-picked to become a fighter.
* AlternateContinuity: It is possible to play through Ivan Drago's campaign and [[spoiler:defeat Rocky in the exhibition match.]]
** Apollo Creed's campaign ends with him confident of his victory over ''Rocky'' and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahwy__XwZQ4 indifferent to the idea of a rematch]], negating the premise of ''Rocky II'' and the subsequent sequels. It's entirely possible for Apollo to win this fight with an early knockout, denying Rocky the chance to "go the distance".
** Averted with the other two campaigns. Rocky's matches with Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang go straight to the rematch, and the final fight with [[spoiler: Tommy Gunn]] takes place on the streets, like the fifth movie. Respectively, Apollo and Clubber's campaigns end with their first match against Rocky.
* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Drago, Clubber and Apollo have their own campaigns.
* TheBadGuyWins: Drago's campaign ends with him [[spoiler:knocking out Rocky]].
* StarterVillain: Zale for Rocky's campaign.
* VersionExclusiveContent: Depending on which version of the game you get, the [=PS2=] version has Paulie as a playable character, and the Xbox version gives us Ludmilla Drago as a playable character as well.
