Gameplay
Main article: List of Punch-Out!! The Fighters Characters

Like most other fighting games, the game is viewed from the side and features a number of playable characters that the player is free to chose from in a one-on-one battle. There are light and hard attacks in the game, with hard attacks being slow but dealing more damage and light attacks being vice versa. By imputing a specific combination of light and hard attacks, the characters will perform Special Attacks that are unique to them. It is also possible to dodge attacks by pushing a button, which will cause the character to lean out of the way for a second and if the player performs a perfect dodge (dodging just as the other character is about to land their blow) then they will gain a "Star" which will then allow the character to perform a Star Attack, which is similar to the Final Smash from the Super Smash Bros. series, being an extremely powerful final attack that is customized to the character. The player can get up to three Stars at a time, with the amount of Stars increasing the damage.

There are a few "modes" in the game that the player can choose. Adventure Mode is the story mode of the game, where they may pick a character and play out a 1-2 hour long story featuring the chosen character as the protagonist, with each character having their own custom story. In Arcande Mode, the player and their chosen character are set up against 9 randomized opponents before ending with what the game calls a "Rival Battle", where the player fights an opponent considered to be their character's "rival". There is also the multiplayer mode of the game, Versus Mode, which itself is split between two modes called "Friend V. Friend" and "Online", the second setting the player against other players from around the world while the first sets them up against someone else in the room with their own controller. There are also a score-based mode called Last Stand, where the player is set up against all of the characters in the game one after another, with them gaining points based on attacks landed, dodged, etc. The mode ends when the player dies.
