Basic Gameplay
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! works on a dodge-counterpunch system, which is to say, you dodge your opponent's punch, and then quickly counterpunch to stun them. Once stunned, you can get in several free punches before they come to their senses.

Glass Joe
Glass Joe is the easiest opponent in the game. He's an older boxer who never had any success and doesn't know when to quit. He's also from France.

He will not punch until after the first 40 seconds of the match. At 40 seconds, he will step back and taunt you. Once he comes back down, give him a quick jab to the stomach. This will knock him down the first time. Anytime he does this, you can knock him down this way.

If you hit him with any uppercut, it will put him down instantly.

Von Kaiser
Von Kaiser is almost as easy as Glass Joe.

When he squats to uppercut, hit him with a punch to the stomach using the closer hand. You will get a star. Keep punching him this way until you have three, and then use them to knock him down.

If you land any uppercut on Von Kaiser when he is stunned, it will knock him down.

Piston Honda
Piston Honda is the last match of the Minor Circut. He was originally Piston Hurricane in the Arcade Game and he has a similar special punch. When he steps back, that's the signal that he will use the Piston punches. Hit him when he returns. If that fails block his punches. They come in a rhythm and can be blocked easily. Once they finish, he will come with an uppercut.

Major Circuit
(After this, give body blows only when adviced to do so)

Don Flamenco
Don Flamenco is one of the easiest boxers in the game to beat. He will not punch unless you punch him first. So punch him, dodge his counterpunch, and punch him left-right-left-right until he hits the mat. When he gets up, he will throw an uppercut. Just dodge it and keep doing this until you get KO or TKO.

King Hippo
Give him a quick punch to his mouth when he opens it and then give him body blows.

Great Tiger
During the first minute, punch-dodge-punch (dodge to the side). Repeat until the first minute has past. Then give bodyblows with the hand that's on the side that he's gaining his strenght from (start with left and take in turns). Hit him while he's down (gaining his strenght) to get stars. When you have three, start using them by counter-punching first and upper-cut when he's stunned. You should win by TKO before he starts with magic. If you don't, then block five times and punch when he gives that easy opportunity to.

Bald Bull
Give two fast blows to his face the second the fight starts (you get a star) and give an upper-cut. One blow - upper-cut - one blow - upper-cut... until he's down. After that dodge and counter-punch as much as you can. When he's doing his "Bull-charge", give him a body blow when he's close enough (even the best players sometimes fail). The timing for the Bull-charge is the same as the beginning screen when you push Start (BOOM-boom-boom, BOOM-boom-boom, BAM!). Hit him with a body blow on the BAM! (He is probably going to try his jabs at some time after you dropped him once, but using the tactic you used in the beginning won't work. You'll have to use your stars when he's NOT stunned, unlike with the most opponents. You can gain a star when he's rolling his hands by hitting his face with left but that's not recommended.)

World Circuit
(After this, quick dodges (by counter-attacking immediately after you dodge) are essential.)
