10 Overpowered Video Game Exploits You Can Use In The First HOUR

10. Instant Knockouts - Punch-Out!!

The boxing world of Punch-Out! is nothing like its real-life counterpart. Little Mac's roster of oppenents is full of zany characters that put horseshoes in their gloves, drink soda as stimulants, and use actual magic to gain the upper hand on the ring.

That's why you shouldn't feel bad about learning a couple exploits. If they can cheat, so can you!

One of the best mechanics you can learn in Punch-Out! are the instant KOs that allow you to automatically win against your opponent. They're the easiest way to progress through the game, but unfortunately, learning how to perform them is quite tricky as each character has a different prompt to indicate the perfect time to strike.

This said, you technically don't have to learn any prompts; you just need to know where to look.

Back in 2016, one Punch-Out! player discovered that whenever Little Mac has an opportunity to perform an instant knockout, a bearded member of the audience behind the ring ducks.

All you have to do is watch for his reaction, and you'll know exactly when to strike to get an instant KO. You don't need to study any attack patterns, just one pixelated guy.
