Disco Kid is an enemy boxer debuting in Punch-Out!! for the Wii.

Background

Disco Kid was a flamboyant figure living in the New York area. He seemed to be rich with a car that has a variety of stereos built in as well as a variety of dance trophies. He spends much of his time dancing to disco music as clubs, but he spends plenty of time boxing as well, usually with moves based on his disco dancing.

Within the WVBA in Punch-Out!!, Disco Kid is the rank #1 fighter in the Minor Circuit. After Little Mac becomes champion, he could could challenge Disco Kid again in Title Defense mode. During these matches Disco Kid gained a Richard Simmonsesque makeover from seeing a boxercise poster and changing his style into the boxercise style which is a combination of boxing and exercise.

Trivia

  • He seems to be inspired by Kid Quick from the the original arcade game. There are many references making it clear this was the intention, primarily his data on the disc is apparently labeled "kidquick".
  • Doc Louis also mentions in one of of the intermissions between rounds that "this kid is quick."
  • To top it all off, he shares the same weight and origin as Kid Quick.
