Punch-Out!!

Screenshots

A boxing ring viewed from above shows a player character in green shorts and a smaller opponent with orange hair in a pink outfit in the center of the blue canvas. The ring is bordered by brown ropes and wooden frame details. The top of the screen displays a score panel with round and match information in red and blue sections, along with numerical values. The sprite graphics are rendered in low-resolution pixels typical of NES hardware, with a yellow and brown checkered pattern visible at the very top edge of the screen.
