Unlockable: Title
Defense Mode
Complete the Minor, Major and World Circuits to unlock Title Defense Mode.
In Title Defense, you are challenged by all of the fighters you've already
fought but with new patterns and strategies.
Unlockable: Donkey Kong
Punch-Out!! features a surprising finale for its Title Defense Mode. You
can fight Donkey Kong ("The King of Swing!" "The Leader
of the DK Krew!" "Jumpman's Bane!") in this mode, and,
if you beat him in Last Stand, you'll unlock him in Exhibition Mode.
Unlockable: Headgear
When your loss count reaches 100, you will unlock the Headgear option
in your Career Options, which enables you to toggle the damage-reducing
accessory before each fight. If you need to rack up some losses, try taking
on Mr. Dream a few dozen times without fighting back!
Unlockable: Fighter Audio Clips
To unlock a characters full range of audio clips, simply complete the
three challenges for that fighter in Exhibition Mode. There are two sets
of audio for each fighter (Normal and Title defense).
Hint: Regain Energy
If you press the - (minus) button during the dialogue between rounds,
Doc will chomp on a Remedy Bar, causing Mac to regain a bit of energy
(you can only do this once per opponent).
Hint: Weasel the Opponent's Energy
Want to go for a quick TKO in the next round? Work the opponent's energy
bar to nearly zero and let the current round's timer expire.
On the next round,
they usually start with the life you last left them with. Throw them down,
and you should have most of the next round to KO them two more times for
an easier TKO.
Hint: Energy Boost
While an opponent is knocked down, quickly press 1 and 2 repeatedly (or
swing the Wii-mote in motion mode). Mac will pump himself up and regain
some energy until the opponent gets up!
Hint: Never Lose
If you are about to lose a fight in Career Mode, hit + and choose "Restart".
This will help you learn the opponents moves and weaknesses without having
to practice or eat a loss (and ruin your "perfect" record).
Another way to interrupt
your loss is to hit Home and reset the game while your foe celebrates
his victory.
Hint: TKO Last
Ditch Effort
On Little Mac's 3rd and final knock down for a TKO, start pressing 1 and
2 and sometimes Little Mac will get angry and continue the fight with
a little health left.
Easter Egg: Messing with Mac
On the main menu (after you have chosen a profile), there are five different
ways to interact with Mac.
Hover your pointer
around his right foot and he'll try to stomp on it
Hover about his left foot and he'll jump
Point at his left hand and he'll punch at you
Point at his face and he'll try to swat you away
Spin the pointer in circles around his face and he'll become dizzy!
Note: These only work while Mac's standing still, he won't react if you
try to touch him while he's moving.
Easter Egg: Credits
Minigame
Beat Contender Mode to see the credits (or view them under Options) and
ward of boredom with a hidden minigame. You can use your cursor to correct
misspellings in the developer credits, and remove the names of the fighters.
Click on a name when it's spelled incorrectly and it will turn green and
correct itself, giving you a point.
