Also, the manga the Japanese guy was holding is actually a Sailor Moon manga, and I think that led to some legal issues for the game. Also, the reason why there's a French and Canadian guy is because the team for Punch-out is in Canada whose official languages are English and French. Also, the first Punch-out game for the NES, featured Soda Popinski as Vodka Drunkinski. But in Super Punch-out and onward, his name was changed to avoid further controversy, since alcohol in games is often frowned upon. Despite that, Soda Popinski does get pissy after drinking soda, could be alcoholic soda.

3:13 I just noticed that Donkey Kong is in the crowd. (He’s in the far left)

[@CantSee931]

3:16 i just realized DK is in the background

[@SaturdayMorno86]

How sweet! Donkey Kong is one of Japan's national cartoon mascots

[@unnamedvisitor1649]

In particular with Piston Hondo's fight, when he bows to Little Mac in the actual fight, he looks up at him. This is done as a sly form of disrespect to the person you are bowing to, as you're not normally supposed to look at the person when you bow out of respect.

[@KurisuBlaze]

Not sure if this would really be considered, but somewhat similarly to Aran Ryan having a lot of 7s going around him, Piston Hond(a/o) has a focus number of 4, which is one of Japan's unlucky numbers, with one of the ways to say it (Shi) being similar to their word for death. (The other big unlucky number being 9, with it also being similarly spoken as something unpleasant, but that's not as prominent.)

[@gamertoon8230]

So Aran Ryan not only has the most infractions, he also has the most stereotypes.

[@stegotyranno4206]

Never heard this game, but its been in my reccomended, some extra stuff i noticed: German -its cool that hes portrayed as millitaristic/imperial Prussian instead of the boring pseudo-Bavarian -i think he says he is a Battle machine -kaiser mustache Indian -he says he is "Sher Singh" which means Lion Lion (farsi word+ sanskrit word) which is both ridiculous and cool -had no idea Mehndi made yhe them -glad this one is more controlled and respectable than usual indian stereotypes.

Despite having so many stereotypes, the Punch Out characters have a lot of personality

[@Neokan_n]

I’m so surprised this video is only 3 days old, is great to still see videos about this already decade-old game, hopefully, Nintendo realizes, just like they did with other games recently, and makes a new Punch-out game.

Another thing that you forgot to mention in the spanish stereotypes is that in Don Flamenco's theme we can hear a typical percussion spanish instrument named "Castañuelas"

[@goneagle1122]

Spanish stereotypes then: Bullfighting, romantic and vanity. Spanish stereotypes now: Gaming youtubers and streamers.

While Mr. Sandman does share some charactaristics from Mike Tyson from the original Mike Tyson's Punchout!!, He is mostly based off of Muhammad Ali. But oddly also has a lot of references to the number 13.

[@EchoCedric561]

Its cool how TD sandman is based entirely on the Mike Tyson fight on NES. Fast hard hitting hooks and overheads and the winking.

[@Squ34kus]

Spain always get away with good stereotypes somehow

They should have added the British and have the guy wear a top hat, drinking tea, wearing a singular eye lens glasses and have him say his lines in the most heavily English accent you have heard

What a game full of stereotypes, I love it 😁

[@deadlyespresso6166]

Wait... this gave me an idea for a new Punch Out challenge. Play through Contender mode (Glass Joe through Mr. Sandman), but every time a national stereotype appears, take a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage. Hopefully you don't become too drunk to be unable to beat Mr. Sandman...

[@JoLiKMC]

4:27 - Wait. The Daler Mehndi references (the spirits thing in his Title Defense rematch, for example) weren't just intentional, but Daler Mehndi, _himself,_ contributed to Great Tiger's revisions and presentation?! Whoa…

Hollywood is also probably multiple references to wrestler Hulk “Hollywood” Hogan who was one of the top paid wrestlers in the WWE. Known for his vanity, ego, and flashy style.

Piston Honda's theme is also a reference to "Kagome Kagome", a very famous Japanese children song. It's so popular to the point regarded as THAT ONE JAPANESE MUSIC. For example, in Genshin Impact, entire music motifs of Inazuma and Raiden Shogun is many remixes of this famous melody.
