Super Punch-Out!! Hidden Two-Player Mode Discovered 28 Years Later​

No hacks or mods required

There's been a historic discovery made within the 1994 Super Nintendo release Super Punch-Out!! today.

A Twitter account known as 'Unlisted Cheats' has uncovered a hidden two player mode in the game. To access this option, on the game's start screen you'll have to hold the 'Y' and 'R' buttons on the second player's controller and then press 'Start' or the 'A' button on the first player's controller.

You then select the boxer for player two and have the second player hold down the 'B' and 'Y' buttons on their controller until the match begins.





What's also exciting about this is that it's all on the cartridge - meaning no special hardware, accessories or hacks are required to access it. So you should be able to test it out yourself if you have a copy of the original game. Otherwise, you can test it out on the Switch Online service, or in other ways.

Nintendo Life has tried out this mode in the Switch Online version of the game and can confirm it works.

Interesting that no intern, dev or data miner hasn't leaked this earlier.

Word. People even found out how to play the 4th level in that shitty Cheetahmen game from Action 52.

Yeah that's wild this was undiscovered for so long. I remember reading a feature way back when with the creator of Punch Out and he said there were still a lot of undiscovered secrets in the game. One of the things he mentioned was when Bald Bull charges you a camera flashes in the bottom of the screen and that's a cue to throw your punch. So if he let that one out, I don't doubt there's still some secrets left to be found. This has to be one of the larger ones though.

Why the hell did they never tell this?

This game is phenomenal. I'm going to test it this week when a friend of mine comes over to play some classics.
