In ''Punch-Out!!'', he was ranked second place in the WVBA's Major Circuit. |
His weak point was part of his stomach which was covered with a bandage. He had it guarded at all times. The only way King Hippo would drop his guard would be if Little Mac punched him while his mouth was open in taunting Little Mac. Doing so caused King Hippo's shorts to drop down, and while he was busy trying to hike his shorts back up his stomach was vulnerable to attack. After being knocked out once, he would remain down resulting in an instant victory for Little Mac. | His weak point was part of his stomach which was covered with a bandage.
