Background

Punch-Out!! is a Japanese video game series of boxing created by Nintendo's general manager Genyo Takeda, and his partner Makoto Wada. It started in arcades simply as Punch-Out!! (1984), which was followed by a sequel Super Punch-Out!! (1984). The series was released on home consoles soon after, starting with the Famicom and NES Punch-Out!! / Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! in 1987 and a SNES and Super Famicom sequel Super Punch-Out!! in 1994. A reboot of the series entitled Punch-Out!!, was released in May 2009 on the Wii, along with a Club Nintendo exclusive WiiWare prequel Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! in October 2009

Power Punch II is the spiritual successor (originally by Nintendo, who had abandoned the project with another company) to Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, starring Mike Tyson after his defeat from Little Mac, who's the greatest boxer on Earth, and is put into a circuit of the universe's best boxers to prove that he is indeed the best.

Power of the Verse

Punch-Out!! is a fairly weak verse with most character only reaching Street level to Wall level, the reboot characters however are much stronger being able to go up to Room level, and the strongest characters being Building level, who originate from Power Punch II. In terms of hax, the verse isn't really varied having Martial Arts, Healing and Transformation for example, and one of the only characters with notable powers being Great Tiger, who has Illusion Creation, Levitation and Teleportation. Many characters in Power Punch II, though, have abilities such as Cyborgization, Flight, and Instinctive Reaction.
