Punch-Out!!

← → dodge ↓ block A S body Q W head SPACE star punch

How to play

> Knock out every boxer on the circuit. Each one is faster and hits harder.
> Watch the opponent: when his eyes flash and a glove pulls back, a punch is coming. Dodge left or right.
> Block (↓) stops hooks and jabs, but not uppercuts - those must be dodged.
> The opponent guards either his head or his body. Hit where he is open.
> After a dodge he is dizzy - counter-punch for double damage and a star.
> SPACE uses all your stars for a star punch. More stars = more damage.
> Hearts drop when you are hit or blocked. At zero you are tired and cannot punch for a while.
> Three knockdowns and it's over. 3 rounds - if nobody is knocked out, the judges decide.
