Punch-Out!! is divided into several modes. Career Mode is the standard mode in which the player fighters through the ranks of the WVBA to become champion.In Exhibition Mode, the player can replay boxers that they have battled and earn achievements. There is additionally a two-player mode where both players control Little Macs in a boxing match, with the option of transforming into Giga Mac. Other modes are unlocked as Career Mode is completed, such as Title Defense Mode followed by Last Stand and Champion modes.
