System: Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

Release Date: October 18, 1987

Punch-Out!! features a boxer known as Little Mac, fighting his way up through ranks of the World Video Boxing Association. After facing a series of colorful fictional opponents in three circuits, the goal is to win a final "Dream Fight" against a highly skilled boxer – the real-life Mike Tyson, then-World Heavyweight Champion, in the original release.

After Nintendo's license to use Mike Tyson as a special Punch-Out!! character expired, it replaced Tyson with a fictional character called Mr. Dream and re-released the game for the NES as simply Punch-Out!! in limited quantities in North America in August 1990 and in Europe in 1991.

In addition, Mario makes a cameo appearance as the referee.

Challenge Tip: Beat each opponent in the first round.
