Arcade Super Punch-Out!! (Switch; Caravan Mode) - High Score [176,450 points] (WR) 

Done on the "Arcade Archives" port of arcade Super Punch Out released on Nintendo Switch. This port actually appears to be based off of the Japanese romset, which has different voice samples than the US version, and a few differences on a couple of fighters themselves.
This mode sets a 5 minute timer for you to get as many points as possible under the timer limit. This is probably my favorite leaderboard in this port since it puts a heavy emphasis on skill, speedrunning and optimization over lasting in an endurance run.
This run had a good start, but kind of fell apart a little at the end of the Macho fight. It seems like that's a section that I don't quite have figured out, since throwing a super to end the fight almost always ends up causing awkward situations that drag the fight out longer.
I got to finish the 2nd phase of Bear Hugger 2, but ran out of time sadly. If I can get to Bear 2 with over a minute of time to fight him, as well as get good luck on getting more 3 counts when opponents are down, I can see it being possible to gather the fight bonus with frames to spare, but the luck and execution make it extremely difficult.
It's also worth noting that the game will save your top 3 times, but only sometimes? I've found no rhyme or reason as to which ones it saves, so it makes it kind of difficult, since any time you get a top 3 time, it will play a longer cutscene that shows you that your time is being ranked.
I'll be actively trying to improve this, at least until I get a run that finishes the Bear Hugger 2 fight and collects the fight bonus. By the time you read this, the record may have changed hands, as the player in 2nd is also actively improving their score quickly too! We've exchanged the record a handful of times already, so expect more of that happening soon!
