Though the Wii version of Punch-Out!! is nowhere near as difficult as the original NES classic, it's still no pushover, yet players who are really struggling will get offered a much-needed olive branch.

If you're playing badly enough to lose 100 fights, the game will take pity on you and mention that the boxing commissioner has sent you an "interesting gift."

Go to the Career Options menu and you'll find that a Headgear Assist has been made available, giving players the very same protective headgear that's worn by Glass Joe in one of the game's fights.

The headgear will drastically reduce damage taken in all matches, and make it much easier to get through the Career Mode in one piece.
