Little Mac is the main character of the Punch-Out!! series.

Background

Punch-Out!!

Little Mac was originally from Bronx, New York. He loved tough challenges. At 17 years old, he met retired heavyweight champion Doc Louis by chance. Doc became Little Mac's trainer and taught him everything he knew about boxing until Mac was ready to enter the World Video Boxing Association, Little Mac started competing in the Minor Circuit but climbed the ranks until becoming world champion and winning a Dream Match with Mike Tyson (in the original version) or Mr. Dream (in the second version).

Super Punch-Out!!

Super Punch-Out!! follows a blonde boxer entering the Nintendo Boxing Association. It is uncertain if this character is Little Mac, although Fight Night Round 2 suggests they are the same. This boxer enters the Nintendo Boxing Assoication and much as in the first game ascends through the ranks and becomes champion after defeating Nick Bruiser.

Abilities

Little Mac is a skilled boxer. At 107 lbs, he's a light-weight compared to most of the other boxers. He uses superior skill and speed to take his opponents down. His specialty is an upper cut called the "Knockout Punch".

Other Appearances

Video Games

• Little Mac appeared as an unlockable character in Fight Night: Round 2 for the Gamecube. This version used the appearance of the Super Punch-Out!! boxer with Little Mac's name, which has supported theories that they are the same person.
• Little Mac appeared as an assist trophy (and an accompanying normal trophy) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After being summoned, he attacks opponents with punches and the occasional uppercut. His trophy lists Punch-Out!! for the NES as his only appearance, making it less likely that the Super Punch-Out!! boxer is Mac.
• Little Mac appears in Captain Rainbow as an inhabitant of Mimin Island. He is shown to have become overly obese over the years and came to the island in hopes of finding a way to become champ again. Nick can compete against him in boxing minigames and help him with dietary training to make Mac lose weight, although it is possible for him to lose too much weight and become dangerously thin. Successful training will make Little Mac resemble his original appearance.

Other Media

• Little Mac makes a cameo appearance in the opening of the Captain N comic, where he is seen punching out Glass Joe. This is the only reference to Mac found in Captain N-related media, despite King Hippo appearing in both the animated series and the comics.
• Little Mac was featured in several Punch-Out!! comics that were made for the Nintendo Comics System. The first strip, "The First Fight", depicts his first meeting with Doc Louis which leads to his victory over Glass Joe.

Trivia

• It's debatable whether the hero of Super Punch-Out!! is Little Mac. His hair and eye color are different.
