think many would agree beating Tyson is one of the great retro gaming achievements, its certainly one of the most celebrated. With the fight being an additional extra, I was airing on the side of calling this beaten after winning the World Circuit, but once competitive side set in, I knew I’d not stop till I beat him!

Quite possibly my first ever memory is my brother unwrapping the NES for xmas 1989 with me aged 4. I’m unsure if I really understood what this was, but I definitely got in on his wild enthusiasm for it.
After you knock out King Hippo, you’ll move up to Great Tiger. Again, this is another easy fight, you just need to know how when Great Tiger is going punch and how to counter Great Tiger’s punches. The first part to beating Great Tiger is watching the jewel on his turban. The jewel will light up right before Great Tiger throws a punch. Dodge his punch and hit him in the face, just one punch is all you will get.
After your first fight with Don Flamenco, you’ll move up to fight King Hippo. King Hippo isn’t too hard to beat. You just need to be able to tell if he is going to jab or jump up and down.
Don Flamenco might be the easiest fight in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out. That is the first time you face him. That’s right, just like Piston Honda, you will face Don Flamenco again.
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, on to our first match with Piston Honda. This is a title fight and can be difficult if you never played the game before. Just don’t let Piston intimidate you when he starts bouncing around.
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out fight two brings us to Von Kaiser. While not much more difficult than Glass Joe, Von Kaiser will make you have to at least try to dodge and counter.
Here we start by defeating the first contender, Glass Joe. Yes, anybody can beat Glass Joe, but he is still the first fight of the game.
