I'm guessing Mac's alts will be his Major Circuit, World Circuit and Champion colors, plus one based on the Unknown Challenger from SNES Super Punch-Out!! and another based on Little Cam from Punch-Out W!!'s two player mode.

I sure said that!

If Punch-Out had just one opponent as a trophy, who do you think it would be? I vote for the sheer distinctiveness of King Hippo.

[up][up][up] As a Wario-esque alt, I say he should also be given his pink tracksuit (with blue and green alt colors for team battle purposes, and whichever other colors the dev team feels like putting in).

It would probably be either King Hippo, Glass Joe, or Soda Popinski.

Mukora: He looks vaguely Mediterranean to me. Alternatively, he looks vaguely hispanic. His ethnicity is not especially clear, but it definitely does not seem Asian to me.

[up][up]I'm guessing fwip-ing off the pink track suit would be part of his entrance.

[up]I kinda figure him to be partially Italian because of his inspiration and partially Japanese because of his creators and his height.

I sure said that!

Demographically, being from the Bronx means there's a better than average chance that he's meant to be hispanic (probably not the case in the original game, where he literally just looks like short!Rocky, but clearer in the redesign).

[up]I believe they stated somewhere that Mac was indeed designed to be Latin-American in some form, but I might be wrong.

In honor of Mac's inclusion, I decided to fire up my copy of Punch Out Wii again, which I left alon a while ago at the final title bout.

And I finally managed to take down Mr. Sandman and unlock Title Defense!

Now take down Mr. Sandman on Title Defense. tongue

Bald Bull is probably harder than him, though.

Depends on how used to the rhythm of the fight you get. Mr. sandman can take you down faster than Bald Bull if you don't know what you're doing.

I sure said that!

True. Bald Bull also has a secret instant knockout (Hitting him with a normal punch during his bull charge, then landing a 3-star punch while he's rubbing his jaw and walking back), but it's very hard to get stars off of him.

And Title Defense Mr. Sandman's "final phase" is pretty much scripted, too, so that diminishes his difficulty somewhat as long as you watch his eyes (Dodging his wink-punches is easy, it's just countering them that's hard, but you don't need to do that during the final part).

I've always assumed Mac was of Italian descent as well. Not just because of Rocky, but because Nintendo got Paulie Malignaggi (a Real Life Italian-American boxer) to play him in the commercials for the Wii gamenote .

@Arans: I remember Samus was one of the roles in a Punch-Out!! mafia I played a while back. Her idiot cousin "borrowed" the Power Suit and broke it, so the goal was to get revenge on him.

Also, this image is twenty times more relevant as of the Little Mac trailer.

Talk about Hilarious in Hindsight.

In regards of PO trophies, I would love to see one for each boxer, just to see how they're described (as I said before, I want to read Glass Joe's description).

Well, for what it's worth, the age of consent in Mac's home state is 17.
