215* RedBoxingGloves: Sports them in all of his appearances.
216* RedIsViolent: Red from head to toe and much more violent, powerful, and evil than his bluer counterpart King Lion.
217* SNKBoss: In both games he dishes out lots of damage, has powerful special moves (including one which locks into a full combo if the first hit lands), and enough health to keep up with two characters. In the first game, he also has an arena with little room to hide, depriving your character of any advantage possible.
