Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is a boxing game from 1987, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In this game, you play as Little Mac, fighting to become the WVBA world champion, and even fighting Mike Tyson at the end.
This is a TAS of the European version of this game, which has several differences compared to the later Punch-Out!! from 1990. The jabs you'd see on Tiger, Bull, Soda and Sandman don't work, but the opponents' intro speeds are more similar to the original NTSC version.
The record times for this run are:
- Glass Joe: 42.00
For some reason, rapid punches are impossible in this fight. Even though we could use up all our hearts, avoid his attack and punch him a couple times before 40 seconds, that doesn't save any time in this version.
- Von Kaiser: 34.61
Same as the NTSC strat, but you can throw the first gut punch a frame earlier.
- Piston Honda 1: 32.61
We are so close to having a .48 in this fight, one frame away, but couldn't find anything.
- Don Flamenco 1: 13.82
A slightly different buffer can be used in this fight, just a right quick dodge instead of a left.
- King Hippo: 39.48
Unfortunately, this is one fight that's slower than the NTSC version.
- Great Tiger: 53.48
Mac's star punches deal a bit less damage on him compared to the NTSC version, which costs a bit of time.
- Bald Bull 1: 48.25
Bull can actually be knocked down with enough time to throw two rolling jabs, but we delay our punch to avoid that. We can throw another punch before the clock reaches 30 seconds.
- Piston Honda 2: 35.00
Just like PO Pal, moments of weakness (those two-frame windows where you can just land jabs on him) save a bit of time here.
- Soda Popinski: 38.97
Not much to say about this fight, same strat.
- Bald Bull 2: 1:01.61
You can land star punches into rolling jabs in this version, like PO Pal. This actually uses the same strategy, though punches need to be delayed here to get to his hook sooner.
- Don Flamenco 2: 50.97
Same strat as the NTSC version, not much else to say.
- Mr. Sandman: 2:16.61
Even though you can land a punch into his rolling jabs after 50 seconds, this fight is still slightly slower than the NTSC version. Mac can only get 15 hits into Sandman's dreamland Express, compared to 19 on the NTSC versions and PO Pal.
- Super Macho Man: 43.25
Same time as NTSC. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a way to avoid having to cancel one of Macho's punches, and ducking his super spin punches is actually slow. Throwing a jab into his mini-spin is too slow for clock rounding, so we need to knock him down with a gut punch. This is why it can be played on the PRG0 version.
- Mike Tyson: 2:07.48
Unfortunately, there is no way to get an uppercut in phase 3, so this fight is slower than the NTSC version.
- total in-game time: 12:38.14
Enjoy the run!
