“Remember me? Me and Billy kicked your ass back in the 80’s!”

I succesfully fought my way through all the races of the earth to become the ultimate champion. Some could say I “mastered” them. Me and my blond hair, blue eyes, and chiseled white body reigned supreme. Let this be a lesson to anyone who’s bald or fat or old or gay or ethnic: the law firm of “Young, White and Blonde” will beat your ass every time.

All joking aside, Super Punch Out! for SNES was as good if not better than Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!. The graphics were much better, the boxers had more moves and were less predictable, and there was nary a pink jogging suit to be found. The first four or five boxers were pretty easy for the veteran video boxer, but they soon got much harder. There was also more freedom to the fight. Where in MTPO you could rarely get in a punch without dodging first, in SPO you have more flexibility to attack first or counter attack.

For those of you with a craving for cartoon violence and tendonitis, this game is for you! Gemu senta ni ikimasho!
