Disco! What got you into disco anyway?

“I've always been a dancin' man, but that first time I had a routine set to disco music? That night I heard Boogie Wonderland by Earth Wind and Fire for the first time? Man, I tell you what, that was the moment I knew my whole world was gonna be different from that point on. The rhythm entered my veins and it's been flowin' through me ever since, baby!"

Joe, you seem like the guy to ask - how's the healthcare at the WVBA? Everyone on the med crew good to you and the others? ( Affectionately, I bet you've got plenty of friends in that department 😏 )

“This is no surprise. The head medic is the President's wife, after all - I do not think it unreasonable to say Madame Noble has treated nearly every man in the association for one ailment or another.

And oui, the medics are quite familiar with me at this point... there are a number of doctors I see regularly, though the ringside medic has come to my aid during more matches than I can recall.

I am certain at this point that Mademoiselle Shio has repaired more of my teeth than my dentist has."

“There is always a cup of milk on hand to catch them when with they are sent flying from the ring…”

“Less chit chat. Finish bandaging him, Shio. And you. What are you thinking interviewing him at a time like this? Numbskull.”

Vonnie, if you like watching boxing and beat-ups so much, why don't Y̶O̶U̶ ̶J̶U̶S̶T̶ ̶M̶A̶R̶R̶Y̶ ̶I̶T̶ try it out yourself to get that thrill more often?

Vonnie has in fact been practicing! She got herself a very reluctant teacher and has already picked out a name for her inevitable launch into boxing as a career! Now she just needs is a fancy costume that dubiously skirts the apparel guidelines!

She's extremely new to it however. She gets coached on form and such from Little Mac, but she only ever boxes the solid holograms provided by the WVBA's training center. She’s not even defeated Joe’s holo yet! She’s determined though.

She’s got the skills! She’s got the power! You’ll never catch her, she is like—!!! … Big Ben?

No one is quite sure what to think of this new development, however one person can think of a few choice words he'd like to have with a certain impulsive little sister of his! YVONNE—

As an aside, we believe Doc is exaggeratedly sniffling and wiping tears from his eyes that the student has become the teacher, much to a shy Little Mac’s embarrassment.

🌟It’s nice to see you all again!🌟

There have been some unrealistic feats in the Wii game's cutscenes, such as:

- Punching a bull into the sky

- Outrunning a bullet train

- Great Tiger

- Singlehandedly levelling a building

- etc, I may have missed a few

I would like to ask if feats such as these were real or if they were exaggerations, special effects, or anything like that

It’s best to just accept that a certain degree of cartoon logic is within the realm of possibility! There’s also been a few posts addressing the fact that magic itself exists.

Bear Hugger truly can talk to and understand animals. He has Disney Princess cred!

Great Tiger is the son of the world’s most powerful magician and Tiger himself stands to surpass him one of these days!

Don Flamenco can manifest plants and has a magical green thumb that assists him in both his gardening hobby and his desire for flashy performances!

Heike Kagero’s capabilities are still being explored, but there are other things going on with other characters is the big takeaway. It’s likely to come from the same magical inner source as Great Tiger, and it could be (totally true) that Heike studied under Great Tiger at some point.

Teeth can reattached or even regrow back, the fact that Sandman hasn’t killed anyone itself is a magic trick, as is Joe and Mac in particular even being alive.

So yes, cartoon logic (though that’s not to say real violence doesn’t sometimes occur) and literal magic are real. Then there’s the Hippoan people, of course, an entirely new race of humans developed specifically for this interpretation of Punch Out who themselves have gods and mysticism of their own.

As for leveling a building… Sandman will answer for that eventually too.

Spoiler: that building was a gym and that’s all that will be divulged on that matter!

PS: We still don’t understand the mechanics of food magic. Baffling!

As mentioned in our Don Flamenco relationships post, these two are friends! Opera Clown and Rodeo Clown 🤡 She takes over the job of giving Mad Clowns makeup an upgrade, not acknowledging that the face paint shouldn’t be legal in the first place.

Mad Clown looks disgruntled here but in truth he’s known her for only several weeks but if anything ever happened to her he’d kill the entire WVBA and then himself. Starting with Don.

Friendship!✨

Joe has a ragdoll cat named Miette. Miette has nothing behind those big sweet eyes of hers, not a single thought within her fluffy little head. She is the absolute center of Joe’s world and he spoils her rotten.

Kaiser has a miniature schnauzer named Jäger. For having such a tough name, Jäger spends less time on the prowl and more time providing emotional support for his dad. They even have matching moustaches!

Disco has an entire room in his fancy house dedicated to his aviary, specifically 4 lovebirds, 3 budgies, 2 cockatiels, 2 doves, and a canary. He loves his flock of songbirds, and has named every one of them after Disco and Funk legends from the 70s and 80s.

Hondo has a Russian Blue kitten named Maru. Maru is a bit of a handful and noisy to boot, much to Hondo’s chagrin, though it seems to be some misguided attempt on Maru’s part to protect his owner. Hondo is hoping he’ll grow out of it as he grows older.

Hugger considers all woodland life to be his friends! Ms. Bear and Chatters the squirrel are the constants, but he’s built an impressive rapport with nearly all the animals in his neck of the woods. A real Disney princess, this one is!

Tiger, of course, has his beloved Khan. After rescuing him as a cub some years ago, they’ve become an inseparable pair even during the boxing season. He’s fiercely loyal to Tiger, and Tiger considers him to be his right-hand feline.

Soda has two huskies, Zhenya and Pasha, both named after his brothers. They’re fairly recent additions to his household (upping the numbers from 1 to 3), just a little over a year old, but they do wonders to keep Soda company.

Bull doesn’t have pets, per se, but for many years now he’s found kinship with the bulls that belong to a ranch near his childhood home. Every off season when he returns to Turkey, he makes time to visit the fields and spend some downtime with the herd.

Macho has three Dobermans, Bullet, Bruiser, and Butch. They’re magnificent guard dogs, keeping watch of his estate while he’s gone, but as soon as he comes home they’re all wagging tails and excited yips. Bruiser was not actually named after the brothers, no matter what Rick thinks.

Sandman has a Bombay kitten named Bea. She’s hardly bigger than one of his hands, but she’s completely fearless around him and is quick to climb all over him the second he sits down.

does don have a love for fashion? if so, does he have a favorite outfit?

Here are a few. Art by NillaVVhiskey on Instagram.

I would say he has a more than casual love affair with fashion without being obsessive about it. He has a sense of what looks good on who and why, will offer advice if it comes up but with his own self he doesn’t even think about it. It comes naturally.

Hey Mac, do you like VOCALOID?

“Is it some kind of show, or...?”
