...seriously?

Megaton Punches might be played for comic relief as shown in those pics but it is legitimately used as an attack in many a medium.

I like the current image, no need for a change. It demonstrates the trope just fine.

This is Mimi-don't let her cuteness fool you-she's got spunk.

There is a nice image of Captain Falcon launching Luigi with his Falcon Punch from the Memetic Mutation page for Super Smash Bros. Why not use it?

[up]I see Luigi jumping backwards in an attempt to dodge.

[up]If you look at his eyes, they strongly suggest that he's been punched. But I agree it's not great.

Incidentally, what ever happened with the TRS thread on this?

[up] It's still ongoing. The Falcon/Luigi pic's so-so.

Current image portrays the trope fine...

Proposing this pic, just in case.

[up] Maybe for another punch/knockout trope, but not this one.

Stick with the current and send the others to image links. Misunderstanding of the trope on person who suggested it.

To nitpick, Punched Across the rooms is still more practical than "blown across the room". At least if the object is smaller than the puncher but tough enough not to be pieced or broken to pieces.

[up] I wouldn't mind pairing that one against the current in a crowner.

[up] That one is the only one that fits the current trope definition. The Captain Falco one isn't currently this trope.

Okay, it's way past time to wrap this. The suggestions that actually work for the trope are on the Image Links page; locking up.
