* OddballInTheSeries: This is the only entry in the ''Punch-Out'' series to focus on, well, arm wrestling rather than boxing. The game also has much more of a RealityIsOutToLunch feel even than the other ''Punch-Out'' games, exemplified by the opponents including a robot controlled by a pre-teen girl, along with a FrankensteinsMonster.

* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: Like its sister series, the opponents have a trick or two they can use to edge out a win. Unlike Little Mac, though, you can cheat back:
** Mask X repeatedly tries to headbutt you. Winning requires pulling his mask off when he goes for another headbutt, then pinning him down while he's in shock from the crowd frenzy over his unmasking.
** [[spoiler:Ape III will pull out a magnet when he's on the verge of losing. Fail to grab it, and he will use his left arm to pull his right hand back over to a winning position; succeed, and you scramble his circuits long enough to pin his hand down.]]
