Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!/Walkthrough

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was one of the first smash hits on the NES. It was released by Nintendo in 1987. It was based on the Arcade game Punchout, which features many of the same characters,  some of them recognizable even though they have been changed. At the time of it's release, Nintendo had a licensing deal with Mike Tyson, who was later dropped in a re-release of the game which featured Mr. Dream instead.

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 opposite of the way he is facing. 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.

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 a 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.
