How many punches are needed to beat Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Contender Mode? 

Apologies if I stutter/repeat myself in the video. I was very nervous recording my lines because I never done scripted content but really wanted to try it haha

I wish Aran could be beat in 7 punches. Like every other aspect of his fight

this is such a well made and scripted video. phenomenal work!

Ok, so I tried this for some of the fights in Title Defense Mode. Here are the outcomes of those fights. Glass Joe: 4 punches (Accomplished). The easiest to know as just like Contender Von Kaiser, Contender Disco Kid and Contender Great Tiger, it's one of his exhibition challenges. Get three stars, then when he does either his "Vive la France!" taunt or "Liberte!" taunt, throw the 3-star punch at the right moment to win the fight. Piston Hondo: 3 punches (Haven't tried this one yet). Basically the same strategy of this video: Counter the Hondo Rush three times with a hook. I haven't tried this because as we know, the instant knockdown version of the counter is frame perfect. However, I really doubt it's impossible. Great Tiger: 5 punches (Accomplished). Get a star from his jab, wait for him to do his mirage attack, counter the three clones, dodge the spin and throw the star punch to win the fight. Bald Bull: 4 punches (Accomplished). Counter his hook twice to get a star from each counter. Then, wait for the 1:30 mark for him to do the bull charge. Counter it with a hook. Then, when he's approaching you while cleaning his mouth, throw the 3-star punch to win the fight. Mr. Sandman: 6 punches (Accomplished). In phase 1, get a star punch from any of his attacks and when he tries to boo you during his Dreamland Express (or attack you with it), throw the star punch to knock him down. In phase 2, he'll do three blinking uppercuts. Get a star by countering any of these. As we finished phase 1 with a star punch, the first attack Sandman will do after the blinking uppercuts will be a Dreamland Express. Do the same thing that you did in phase 1 here to knock him down again. In phase 3, as he's one knock down from losing, he'll do the barrage of blinking uppercuts (which I like to call Blinking Rage). Get a star by countering any of the 14 blinking uppercuts, dodge the rest and when he's tired, throw the star punch to win the fight.

That was truly an amazing and detailed video my friend. Well done.

I'm quite happy that you improved on NU's attempt, I knew there were some improvements to be made

Nice video. I didn't know I helped, but glad I did, hehe.

This Video is AMAZING Love it and still play punch out Wii till this day!!! ❤ 👍🏽

cant wait for td macho

Great video! Off the top of my head, I can't really think of any way to save more punches. Will you also be doing Title Defence and Donkey Kong at some point in the future?

This was awesome

brilliant video

this deserved more recognition

Can I beat King Hippo from Title Defense with only one punch?

How ironic for total amount of punches matching with the year when Mike Tyson's Punch Out was released.

Underrated

Pap fans where you at

What are the minimal punches needed for donkey kong

Nintendo Unity in shambles lmao

Where did you get the information at 5:51?

There is actually a way to finish Don Flamenco with 12 punches. I played on Dolphin emulator but I also tried it on real hardware. When he does his rose flurry, duck any of his hooks and he will follow it up with an uppercut. Unlike the other non-provoked uppercuts, this one can actually be countered for a star. This means that you don’t have to provoke him for the third star.

13:32 I know you could beat Don with only 13 punches I told my that I beat Don but they didn't believe me
