The Wii version also uses "Soda Popinski", but it seems to actually be soda this time--the bottle is clearly plastic like a soft drink bottle because it crumples instead of shattering when Soda crushes it, and the bubbles that appear during the match resemble soft drink fizz instead of the froth of some alcoholic drinks. He does still have some references to being drunk, however, as he at one point tells Little Mac (in Russian) that he will crush him, but the dialect in which he says it sounds like he intends to run over Mac with his car.)

* WakeUpCallBoss: More than any other boxer in any of the Punch Out games. In the arcade game he was a huge jump in difficulty from the previous boxer (Piston Hurricane). He's even more like this in the NES version. Compared to every other boxer you fought up to this point, Bald Bull was freakin' ''huge'', and just ''looked'' like he was prepared to kick your ass, and his Bull Charge often ensured that he did exactly that. Finally, he's the champion of the Minor Circuit in the SNES Super Punch Out, where he plays the same role he did in the arcade game by being a huge jump in difficulty from the previous boxer (Piston Hurricane again, oddly enough). He avoids this in the Wii version, however, on account of being fought so late.

* ThatOneBoss: While most consider Title Defense Bald Bull to be the hardest fight in the game, Donkey Kong comes close. What makes him so hard is that there are very few chances to do any actual damage to him, as he tends to avoid your attacks and doesn't take many of your punches when he's stunned unless you avoided ALL of his attacks, which are often in (completely unpredictable) strings of five.

** I guess you mean the American translators. Back in the 80s, many writers didn't have as much of an extensive knowledge of Japanese culture like they have now (thanks to anime/manga), so they didn't stick that much for accuracy, which ends up making this a ViewersAreMorons in hindsight. Don't know if Nintendo had this in the Japanese version though, in which case it would be a WallBanger of gigantic proportions.
