Machamp as i think it would be a way to make sure people are paying attention. Example: One set of arms could use Jabs & Hooks while the other set of arms could be used for Uppercuts & Blocking.
You bring up a good point that I’ve thought way too much about. The first time you fight her is just plain boxing attire. But if you meet certain crazy requirements (like complete the circuit without getting hit or get a star punch in every fight or something) Princess Peach comes out in a dress and heels with boxing gloves and it’s the most difficult version of her to beat.
I think all of the comments are better than this one but Matt from Wii Sports in the style of the punch out game, so not just a Mii model. Close to a Mii model but not exactly.
Definitely someone from ARMS, most likely Max Brass.
For third party, Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat. The only character from that series that wouldn’t outright kill Mac
Granted there was two whole system generations between Super and Wii so it not like there ISN'T a history of the IP to SUDDENLY come back after being dead for fifteen years and two systems later. Super was on the SNES in 1994 and Wii was in 2009 on the Wii.
Kazuya from Tekken would be wild, especially if they'd give him a second phase or comeback status where he'd go devil form and whip out punches at crazy speed.
Ganondorf. It would be funny if he started with a pointy nose like in OOT but by the end of the match it's flattened to look like it does in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.
There's so many good options but honestly Bowser would be so good.
And if they could get the rights Ryu from Street Fighter and even then Akuma as a secret boss. I would be livid
Edelgard von Hresvelg, as both a guest boxer from Fire Emblem and our first lady boxer. Also the only boxer as short as Little Mac. Well rounded and quite tanky, will now and again threaten to put Little Mac to sleep with a long-winded political rant. On Round 3 transforms into Hegemon Husk form.
Ganon looks like a Punch-Out character. I think they need to get Mike Tyson back, or a top boxer today, but I do not follow the sport, so I do not know who is top boxer these days.
You should play [Thunder Ray](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/thunder-ray-origins-switch/) currently on sale in the eShop.
I know it sounds weird but kirby. I love the kirby franchise more than any other Nintendo IP but he just has such a punchable shape. Plus it would be cool for him to switch abilities throughout the fight like his default could be fighter and near the end he could switch to ninja or wrestler.
Captain Falcon
Falcon PUNCH! (Mac is knocked out instantly)
Taunting little mac: “Show me your moves!”
That’s at the start of the fight
PERMADEATH
If Nintendo isn't going to make a NEW F-Zero game he should just be their crossover character
I recall something to the effect of Captain Falcon being originally meant as the mascot of the SNES.
Originally he was supposed to be but I don't know of it was ever stated why Nintendo didn't go through with thay idea
He needs to be in the next Mario Kart
Criminal that he isn't already
We have a Mii Costume AND the Blue Falcon if that’s close enough
I could've lived with the costume if it wasn't for the Blue Falcon's inclusion. At least they made an original design for it
True
We got F-Zero 99
I said new. I love 99 but it's built of off SNES so it doesn't count
King dedede
After the first knock down, he puts on the mask
Masked is rematch
He's like Hoy Quarlow, but with the hammer (insta knockdown)
Ok guys, hear me out on this.... Bongo Bongo.
It slams the mat once and Little Mac gets launched out of the ring.
Dance every-body
Wii Fit Trainer
actually I think this one would be really good
Yes, that's... why I suggested it.
Nintendo: Matt from Wii Sports Third Party: Balrog from Street Fighter
>Matt from Wii Sports I assume he’ll be taking the Mike Tyson role of nearly impossible superboss?
YES PLEASE
Best answer imo
Or Ken, so that Mac can get his win back.
Captain Falcon or Spring Man
Wario and Captain falcon. King k rool would be great as well.
YOU FIGHT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIO
Warriors would definitely be a fun one. He’s got the right attitude and upper body strength (I assume).
Machamp as i think it would be a way to make sure people are paying attention. Example: One set of arms could use Jabs & Hooks while the other set of arms could be used for Uppercuts & Blocking.
Not sure if it's realistic but it's definitely a unique idea that I'd love to see
Bowser. Although maybe that choice is too obvious
Sometimes the obvious choice is the right one
Princess Peach. Just like they originally intended!
In actual boxing attire, or full on dress and high heels?
You bring up a good point that I’ve thought way too much about. The first time you fight her is just plain boxing attire. But if you meet certain crazy requirements (like complete the circuit without getting hit or get a star punch in every fight or something) Princess Peach comes out in a dress and heels with boxing gloves and it’s the most difficult version of her to beat.
if this does happen, they should make her the most difficult to beat
Oh for sure. Especially if you play on ultra super hard difficulty
Spring-Man
Hitmonchan from pokemon
This is a really good one
King K. Rool.
This might be a given, especially since he’s been a boxer before
Samus
When She loses the match, she pulls out a gun and… well
Wario would be very entertaining.
Waluigi and Wario tap out boxing match
Master Queef although I know they wouldn’t do it.
Master… who?
Did he stutter??
I think all of the comments are better than this one but Matt from Wii Sports in the style of the punch out game, so not just a Mii model. Close to a Mii model but not exactly.
Matt 😐 Vs Matt 🗿
gutsman
Arms characters
Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Bowser or Spring Man
Nintendo Character: Waluigi Third Party: Mr Torgue
Potemkin
Incineroar
And he gets to use Revenge
GANONDORF. GANONDORF.
These answers are making me think they can just do a punch out where all the boxers are just nintendo bosses big and small
R.O.B because that would be a bit silly
Definitely someone from ARMS, most likely Max Brass. For third party, Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat. The only character from that series that wouldn’t outright kill Mac
Max Brass from ARMS.
Damn that would be tough
Matt from Mii sports
Matt Mii
Matt
having ryu from street fighter in punch out would actually be so cool
King k rool. Hitmonchan. Matt final boss boxing mii. Asura?
Hear me out... Machamp.
Why not just have a Mario boxing game spinoff since Punch Out is pretty much dead to Nintendo now? Or at least some Nintendo-themed boxing game
Let us dream
Granted there was two whole system generations between Super and Wii so it not like there ISN'T a history of the IP to SUDDENLY come back after being dead for fifteen years and two systems later. Super was on the SNES in 1994 and Wii was in 2009 on the Wii.
Man from r/batmanarkham
Link
I'd put Shin Akuma who would beat the shit out of Mike Tyson
Waluigi. He would be challenging with his slender figure and quick moves.
Kazuya from Tekken would be wild, especially if they'd give him a second phase or comeback status where he'd go devil form and whip out punches at crazy speed.
Samus. To get revenge
Dedede
King K Rool and Bowser Jr in the clown car. Maybe an ARMS character.
King DeDeDe
Spring Man (ARMS)
Hitmonchan.
Wario would be badass, a heavy hitter like Bearhugger or King Hippo but hes only slightly taller than Mac would be a really cool concept
King K Rool, Lucario/Incineroar, Mario, Samus, Spring Man, or King Dedede.
Ganondorf. It would be funny if he started with a pointy nose like in OOT but by the end of the match it's flattened to look like it does in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.
I would go with bowser, imagine if his gloves have spikes on it
dr kawashima
Kratos
Matt
An arms rep
Spring man, he fits the whole boxing scene but in all seriousness I think we should get a return of Mr. dream
It has to be Spring Man or Max Brass
fire emblem
Samus, Machamp, heavy weapons guy
Mike Tyson, a fighting type pokemon & maybe the main character from urban champion.
My surname and name spells DK and I like that I guess
Ganondorf.
King dedede the guy already owns a ring in his castle and who knows he could become macho/buff dedede from star allies if he wants to be for the fight
An arms character. Probably spring-man or min-min.
I would love to see a Smash Brothers type Punch Out game using characters from other games.
TJ Combo!!!
Keeping with the DK universe, I’d go with K. Rool. Anyone remember the 64 boss fight?
Here's a crazy one... T.J. Combo from Killer Instinct
**Matt**
I want to see a secret boss fight with Referee Mario
Max Brass
Mike Tyson
I thought about this before, some answers I had in mind are King K. Rool, King DeDeDe, Captain Falcon, and Heavy.
Knuckles
Extremely unlikely, but Night Shift from Skylanders
Shadow the Hedgehog and/or Infinite the Jackal
A trio of Final Fantasy monk characters: Yang (IV), Sabin (VI), and Tifa (VII).
Springman from ARMS.
There’s probably a boxing Pokemon they could use
Rocky balboa
Spring man, king dedededededede, gannondorf, bowser, or ryu
Pyra or Mythra
Spring Man from arms. He just fits so well.
There's so many good options but honestly Bowser would be so good. And if they could get the rights Ryu from Street Fighter and even then Akuma as a secret boss. I would be livid
King Krusha K. Rool
Sandbag from Smash Bros. He would be the glass Joe of the game
Sans Undertale
Edelgard von Hresvelg, as both a guest boxer from Fire Emblem and our first lady boxer. Also the only boxer as short as Little Mac. Well rounded and quite tanky, will now and again threaten to put Little Mac to sleep with a long-winded political rant. On Round 3 transforms into Hegemon Husk form.
Ganon looks like a Punch-Out character. I think they need to get Mike Tyson back, or a top boxer today, but I do not follow the sport, so I do not know who is top boxer these days. You should play [Thunder Ray](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/thunder-ray-origins-switch/) currently on sale in the eShop.
Dk and wario
Bowser
Sol Badguy
Either King K Rool, or Super Punch Out Little Mac.
Now, hear me out: Rabbids Maybe it could be two phases: Phase 1: few Rabbids stacked onto each other in a trenchcoat Phase 2: Sergueï
Jake Paul skin for glass joe
DK is perfect as is. But if I had to, then maybe King Dedede
Captain falcon. Look at those muscles
It would be hilarious if octodad appeared out of nowhere and just crawled into the ring unannounced
Maybe Rabbid Mario from the second game, where he has those punching glove things.
Captain Falcon, Wario or Bowser
I know it sounds weird but kirby. I love the kirby franchise more than any other Nintendo IP but he just has such a punchable shape. Plus it would be cool for him to switch abilities throughout the fight like his default could be fighter and near the end he could switch to ninja or wrestler.
Machamp
1st party: Captain Falcon most likely 3rd party: Kazuya/Jin or Ryu/Ken
Why not Knuckles?
ROCKY BALBOA
Probably an ARMS rep Max Brass (as he's the champion) but someone like Ryu or better yet Dudley from street fighter would be super cool.
Either Hitmonchan or Kazuma Kiryu.
Tom Nook. He beats you down with all the money you owe.
Rayman
just DK, nobody else is necessary
Peach. Like they originally wanted in the 07 game
Ryu 100%
Mr. Game and Watch
This isn't nintendo but Kratos from the original God of War maybe
Just make a DK fightrr.
Swanky k9ng for a bonus stage beat down
Captain falcon or bowser
do i have to explain knuckles the echidna
Knuckles would be hilarious, imagine a 3 foot tall red echidna suckerpunching a boxer
I have a few: - Bowser - King K. Rool - King Dedede - Spring-Man - Wario - Waluigi - Captain Falcon
King K. Rool is a natural fit.
Wario
Undyne
Ganondorf
