Punch-Out!!: The Ultimate Career

Punch-Out!! The Ultimate Career is the sixth game of the Punch-Out series, also being the fourth to be released on a console. 
== Gameplay ==
If you don't know already, the Punch-Out!! games are puzzle games disguised as boxing games. What do i mean by that? Each opponent has unique fighting patterns the player must figure out and dodge. They then must counter-attack to rack up some damage on the fighter. Punch them enough, and they will be down for the count! Be careful though, if they attack you enough, you will be down too! If you attack a opponent while they are using an attack, you can get a star to use the star punch!
The star punch is a strong punch that can only be used when the player has at least one star on hand. The player can also block some attacks, usually jabs.
== Controls ==
A: Right punch
B: Left punch
Y: Star punch (Does not do anything when there are no stars)
Left/Right: Dodge
Down: Duck
Up: Block (press the attack buttons while holding up to throw a jab!)
When down, mash buttons to get up!
When your opponent is down, mash buttons to heal!
The normal controls can be changed in the settings.
== Opponents ==
Here's the moment youve been waiting for, the fighters! Also, dont worry about the pictures as they will be added soon.
=== Minor Circuit: ===
Glass Joe, Gabby Jay, Von Kaiser, Piston Hurricane, Texas Mac
==== Glass Joe ====
Glass Joe is a boxer who attempts to win bouts but always fails. He may be weak, but you gotta admit, he sure is dedicated for a guy that has 99 losses!
Glass Joe can be punched, even when he is not attacking!
Attacks for Joe
Jab 	Left hook 	Quick attack 	Viva la france!
A somewhat slow attack that can
easily be blocked or dodged. Dodge
it, counter punch and you get to punch
Joe 7 times.	Another easily telegraphable
attack. Joe will wind up to the right
and hook to the left. Like the jab, you 
get 7 punches for dodging it and 
counterpunching.	Glass Joe will run around
in a flurry before stopping to throw
a jab. He will use this attack if
you get to round 2 or 3. You get 10
punches for dodging and counter
punching.	Glass Joe will step back
and praise France before walking
back to Mac and using a left hook.
If you punch him with a punch while
he goes back to the mat, he will instantly
get knocked down.
8% of damage	14% of damage	14% of damage	16% of damage
==== Gabby Jay ====
Jabby Ga--- ahem, i mean Gabby Jay is a quite old boxer who falls in the same line as Glass Joe. Gabby sucks, but he beat Glass Joe so he is better than Joe!
Gabby Jay will block your punches more than Glass Joe does.
Attacks for Jay
Jab 	Hook 	Yay! 	C'mon!
A jab that is faster and 
stronger than Joe's.
Gabby will pull his hand back before 
attempting to hit you with it. Dodge and
counterpunch and you get to punch him
4 times.	A hook that can be from either side.
Gabby will slowly wind up and unleash
his hook. Dodge and counter punch
to get 6 punches.	A healing move. Gabby
will move back to the ring and say
"Yay!" while healing some of his health.
He will only use this move if you are
at round 3 and he has not been knocked
down much.	Gabby Jay will hop to the back of
the ring while saying "C'mon!" 2
times before coming to Mac to 
unleash a lower hook. Like Joe,
This move can be stopped if you
punch him while he uses the move.
12% of damage	17% of damage	Heals 1/3 of his health	23% of damage
==== Von Kaiser ====
Von Kaiser is a troubled boxer who apparently has PTSD in the middle of fights. While being mentally troubled, this does not stop him from boxing!
Von Kaiser can dodge your punches if you keep missing him.
Attacks for Kaiser
Twitching jab	Mommy?	Uppercut 	Twitching hook	Kaiser Wave
Another simple jab that
is easily telegraphed.
Kaiser will wiggle his head before
unleashing the jab. Dodge and counterpunch
and you get to punch him 4 times.	Von Kaiser will hide his
face, blocking all jabs thrown
before saying "Mommy?". Attack him
when he says that for a star. Kaiser
will only say this when he has been
hit by multiple star punches.	A fast uppercut that may be quite challenging
to dodge. Kaiser will bend to the left or right
and unleash the speedy uppercut. Dodge
and counterpunch to get to punch him 9 times.	A slow hook. Kaiser will wiggle his head before using his hook. The timing can be quite 
strict and hard. Dodge and counter punch to punch him
7 times.	Von Kaiser will get up and scream "AAAAAATTACK!!", spinning towards you.
This move is very dangerous, as its the 
strongest move players will see so far.
Von Kaiser only uses this move when
he gets up from being knocked down.
9% of damage 	 	19% of damage	17% of damage 	75% of damage
==== Piston Hurricane ====
Piston Hurricane is a poor man that's house got wiped out by a hurricane, giving him his nickname. The question is, why in the world would he box instead of find a new home? Obviously, he only does boxing for money so he can get a new house, but his chances of winning are pretty low.
Piston Hurricane can dodge your attacks and will dodge way more often when he is doing his "fancy footwork"
Attacks for Hurricane
Double jab 	Lower hook 	Hurricane Rush 	Fancy Footwork
Hurricane does a slow jab before
doing a slightly faster one. This attack 
can be surprising to players who arent
expecting an attack like this. Dodge both
to get to punch him 5 times.	A low hook that is tricky.
Hurricane will get low and unleash
a moderate speed hook. Dodge and
counter to punch him 6 times.	Hurricane will hop to the back of the
ring and growl before quickly hopping back,
unleashing a flurry of punches to severely damage
Mac. Although your dodges arent fast enough to dodge
all of them, you have the power to block them! If you 
block all 10 of them then counter punch, you will get to punch
him 12 times.	If Hurricane starts moving
around a lot, he is
doing some fancy footwork! 
While doing fancy footwork, he will use
his normal attacks while being
harder to hit due to the excessive
dodging.
He also gains the ability to throw
uppercuts, which can be dodged
so you can punch him 7 times.
10% for each jab	16% of damage	10% for each jab	Depends on the attacks he uses
==== Texas Mac ====
Texas Mac was originally a character from the arcade game Arm Wrestling. Texas Mac was curious of what Boxing was like, so he decided to do boxing even know he had little experience.
Attacks for T. Mac
Rolling jab 	Uppercut 	Clothesline 	Arm breaker 	Hat removal
Unlike Bald Bull's rolling
jab, Texas Mac pulls his hand 
away, rolls it around then throws
the jab unlike Bald Bull, where he
uses both of his hands to roll. Dodge
and counter to get 3 punches in.	T. Mac will wind up for a
strong uppercut, releasing it
with a delay. Dodge it, counterpunch
and you will get 6 punches in.	T. Mac prepares himself to do
a clothesline spin, then uses it
quickly. Although it functions the
same as S. Macho Man's clothesline,
the animation differs. T. Mac uses this attack
in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and if you duck
and counterpunch, you will get to punch him
10 times.	If T. Mac blocks your
punches a lot, he will
eventually grab your arm
and pull it down as if he was
playing arm wrestling. You will
not be able to use the broken arm
for 10 seconds. The arm breaker
CAN be dodged with correct timing
and you can get a star if you counter punch him.	This functions exactly
like Don Flamenco losing his
toupee in the Wii version.
15% of damage	25% of damage	33% of damage	20% of damage, temporarily disables arm	Makes T. Mac faster
=== Major Circuit ===
Disco Kid, Piston Honda, Pizza Pasta, King Hippo, Don Flamenco, Bear Hugger, Great Tiger
==== Disco Kid ====
A young man that has a obsession with dancing. Many people get annoyed by him and prefer to stay away from him, as he is always looking for a disco partner.
Disco Kid, unlike most of the fighters, cant dodge your attacks.
Attacks for D. Kid
Right hook 	Speedy jab	Jumping jack hooks	Disco Flurry
Disco Kid will lean to the right,
then unleash his fast hook. Dodge
and counter and you can get 5 
punches in.	Disco Kid will step to either side
then throw a speedy jab. Dodge
and counter and you can get 4 
punches in.	Disco Kid will step back, do 3 jumping
jacks then use 3 hooks on either side.
Dodge them all and counter to get 8 punches
in.	Disco Kid will roll his hands a bit then
unleash 5 extremely fast jabs. These can
not be blocked, unlike Piston Hurricane's
and your only choice is the easy way 
(use a star punch to stop him) or the hard way
(use a frame perfect dodge)
19% of damage	17% 	19% for each hook 	12% for each jab
==== Piston Honda ====
Piston Honda (or Piston Hondo) is one of the very few fighters that are 100% focused in their training instead of focusing on getting girls *ahem* Super Macho Man. Piston Honda is also very speedy and strong.
Piston Honda can dodge your attacks and star punches (in certain conditions)
Attacks for Honda
Eyebrow jab 	Left hook 	Honda Uppercut	Honda Rush 	Good Bow/Bad Bow
Honda will wiggle his eyebrows
before throwing a simple jab. Dodge
and counterpunch to get 3 punches in.	Honda will lean to
his right and unleash a
easily telegraphed hook.
Dodge and counterpunch
to get 4 punches in.	A strong uppercut that
comes out very fast on either
side, its
almost unpredictable! Dodge
and counterpunch to get 5 
punches in.	Very similar to the Hurricane
Rush. Block all 8 of them and
dodge the uppercut and 
counterpunch to get
2 punches in.	Honda will bow down to Mac.
There are two variations
of this. If he is wiggling
his eyebrows while bowing, he
is faking you out and will
dodge you if you try to punch
him. If he has his eyes closed, he can
be jabbed for a star as he will not
try to dodge.
13% of damage	20% of damage	35% of damage 	15% for each punch, 18% for the uppercut	
==== Pizza Pasta ====
Pizza Pasta is another forgotten character from the Punch Out series. He got bullied at school because of his funnily stupid name. 30 years later, he took up boxing just so he could hurt people. He isn't good at it much...
He cannot dodge your star punches, but this is for a reason (see why in this table)
Attacks for Pasta
Uppercut-jab combo 	Swarming grab 	Pizza eat/ Pasta eat 	4 hooks
A 2 part attack. First he will do an uppercut, then quickly do a
jab. Dodge and counterpunch to get 6 punches in.
(note if you attack him before he does the jab you only get
2 punches in. This goes for all other attacks that combo
with a jab)	Pizza Pasta will move to the back
of the ring, taunt and then rush forward
and grab you. While he is grabbing you,
you will lose health and he will gain some.
You have to mash buttons to escape the grab.
This grab is able to be dodged though and
you can get 7 punches in when you do.	Pizza Pasta will eat a slice of pizza or
pasta. It is similar to Soda Pops soda drink.
If you punch Pizza Pasta while he is eating,
he will get enraged and do a uppercut-jab
combo. Dodge the combo to get 3 punches
in.	Pizza Pasta uses this
when he has been knocked
down at least 3 times (overall). He
will yell then throw 4 hooks with all of them
being on either the left or right.
If you duck the hooks, he will throw a quick jab. If
you dodge the hooks on the sides the hooks were thrown
on, you can get a star if you attack.
17% (uppercut) 13% (jab)	2% every quarter of a second	Heals 1/3 of his health	15% for each hook
==== King Hippo ====
A big hitter hailing from Hippo Island. King Hippo's weakness is his mouth and stomach. Hit his mouth and you get to attack him! 
King Hippo will always block your attacks if you don't attack while his mouth is open.
Unlike previous apperances, he can get up 3 times instead of 1. Because of this, he has less health than before.
Attacks for Hippo
Overcut 	Jab 	Hug/Smash 	Pants drop	Crown loss
King Hippo raises his hand,
growl then slam it down. Punch
him while his mouth is open
to get 8 punches in.	King Hippo raises his fist
slightly then punches. You
cannot get any punches from
this, as he does not open
his mouth.	King Hippo raises his arms
then unleashes a bear hug,
sometimes being followed up
with a ground smash. He will
then leave his mouth wide open
and you can punch it to get
13 punches in.	This will occasionally happen to king
hippo when he is winning by a margin.
His pants will drop and you can punch
him in the stomach for a star when
it happens.	If you punch Hippo
in the stomach when
he uses the hug
attack for the first
time, he will lose his crown.
When he loses his crown,
he will only use overcuts.
23% of damage	17% of damage	45% (hug) 55% (smash)	 	Makes Hippo use overcuts 
only
==== Don Flamenco ====
Don Flamenco is a bullfighter that's quite the ladies man. Don Flamenco will taunt and provoke you (as a bullfighter would do)
Don Flamenco blocks or dodges your attacks and counters.
Attacks for Flamenco
Uppercut 	Hook 	Jab 	Rose Flurry 	Toupee Loss
Don Flamenco raises his arm
then does a fast uppercut. Dodge
it and you can get 4 punches in.	Don Flamenco will lean
to the left, say "Ole" and throw
the hook. When Don is enraged,
this attack will be faster than before.
Duck it to get 3 punches in or dodge
to the right to get 5 punches in.	Don Flamenco quickly steps back
then throws a rather strong
and fast jab. Dodge it and you
can get 2 punches in.	Don Flamenco steps to the back
of the ring then claps to his right
or left while saying "Uno, Dos, Tres,
Quanto, Cinco!", steps back to mac
then throws 5 hooks which side depends
on the side he clapped when he did the
count. If you duck all 5 of them, he will
say "Mira" then throw a fast uppercut.
If you dodge to the side he threw the
hooks on, he will tire out and you can 
get a star and 8 punches in.	If you throw a star punch when Don has
lost over half of his health, he will
lose his toupee. This enrages him
and makes him faster.
25% of damage	28% of damage	35% of damage	25% for each hook	Makes Don faster
==== Bear Hugger ====
Just your average syrup addicted canadian. Bear Hugger was trained by random bears he met in the forest and still trains with them.
Unlike the Wii fight, Bear Hugger will provoke you in the first phase similar to his SNES and arcade appearances.
Attacks for Bear
Hug 	Hook 	Overhead smash	Jab 	"Lets dance!"
After attacking him when he
provokes you, he will use a
fast bear hug. Duck it and you
can get 4 punches in. Once
he goes into his attack phase,
he will use a slower varation
of this attack, saying "Need a hug?"
before he attacks.	Bear Hugger moves
to either side and
does a quick hook.
Dodge it and you can get 4
punches in.	Bear Hugger raises his arm
up, waits for a sec then smashes.
Dodge it and you can get 4 punches
in.	A slow jab that does some
good damage. Dodge it
to get 4 punches in.	Bear Hugger will
step away, say "lets dance!"
and then start to go into
his independent attacking
phase. Bear Hugger does
this once you knock him down or if you enter the
2nd round without knocking
him down once.
40% of damage	20% of damage	25% of damage 	30% of damage	
==== Great Tiger ====

Great Tiger sometimes blocks your attacks and counterattacks.
Attacks for Tiger
Flashing jab 	Magic rush 	Uppercut 	Tiger hug 	Red flashing jab	Long magic rush

stronger. Dodge the weak one
to get 5 punches in and dodge
the strong one to get 7 punches in	Similar to Bear Hugger's
hug, but weaker	Similar to the
normal flashing jab
except the jewel blinks
red and the timing is
way more strict. Great
Tiger starts to use this
move when he gets
knocked down 2 times	Great Tiger teleports
to the back of the
ring, yells then 
sends 6 clones throwing
jabs. It is similar
