__TOC__
== Gameplay ==
Little Mac has six basic moves: left and right jabs, left and right body blows, left and right dodges, block, duck, and the Star Punch. Star Punches can only be used once the player has a star, which you gain by hitting the opponent right before or after they attack or other special circumstances.
The health in this game is represented by a meter that lowers each time Mac is hit. Once this meter is drained, Mac is knocked down, and certain various buttons must be tapped to bring him back up before ten seconds pass. The opponents follow these rules as well. Another key feature in this game is the Stamina Meter. The Stamina Meter tells how many punches you can use. It goes down when you miss an attack, block an opponent's attack, when you get hit, and whenever an opponent blocks one of your attacks. If it hits zero, Little Mac will turn pink and cannot attack. The only way to fill it up again is by dodging opponent punches. The amount of hearts you have on the meter is different for each match.
There are 22 matches featuring various boxers split into four circuits. Losing a match in the World Circuit causes Mac to start that one over. Losing a match in any of the other circuits makes you start on the match before you, and this may happen three times before you get a GAME OVER.
