'''Little Mac''' is the main character of the ''Punch-Out!!'' series. 

=Background=

==Punch-Out!!==

Little Mac was originally from Bronx, New York. He loved tough challenges. At 17 years old, he met retired heavyweight champion [[Doc Louis]] by chance. Doc became Little Mac's trainer and taught him everything he knew about boxing until Mac was ready to enter the World Video Boxing Association, Little Mac started competing in the Minor Circuit but climbed the ranks until becoming world champion and winning a Dream Match with [[Mr. Dream#Mike Tyson|Mike Tyson]] (in the original version) or [[Mr. Dream]] (in the second version).

==Super Punch-Out!!==

''[[Super Punch-Out!! (Super Nintendo)|Super Punch-Out!!]]'' follows a blonde boxer entering the Nintendo Boxing Association. This boxer enters the Nintendo Boxing Assoication and much as in the NES game ascends through the ranks and becomes champion after defeating [[Nick Bruiser]]. It is uncertain if this character is Little Mac, although supporting evidence includes ''Fight Night Round 2'', the information for the [[Virtual Console]] version of Super Punch-Out!!, and the official Punch-Out website detailing the NES and SNES history of the series.

==Punch Out!! (Wii)==
Little Mac appears again in the Wii version of Punch Out!!, this time having a darker skin colour than in his previous appearance. Like in the NES game, he starts against Glass Joe in the Minor Circuit, then working up to [[Mr. Sandman]] for the World Championship. After his victory against Mr. Sandman, he challenges [[Donkey Kong]] in the Last Stand for absolute victory in the ring.

=Abilities=

Little Mac is a skilled boxer. At 107 lbs, he's a light-weight compared to most of the other boxers. He uses superior skill and speed to take his opponents down. His specialty is an upper cut called the "Knockout Punch".

In the Wii game, Little Mac can additionally transform into Giga Mac during multiplayer mode once a blue bar is filled up by constantly punching the opponent. Giga Mac opposes Little Mac by being slow and monstrous, and very powerful. He has a wider variety of moves as well such as a wind-up punch and a double-handed overhead strike.

In ''Super Smash Bros.'', he has the following moveset:

*'''Standard Special Move: Straight Lunge''' - This is a chargeable punch attack. With it, Mac can charge forward across most of the stage and punch everyone he makes contact with. When his power meter is full, he will instead perform a KO Uppercut that can act as a one-hit KO.
*'''Side Special Move: Jolt Haymaker''' - With this move, Little Mac hops forward and performs a downward punch. When used on the ground, this move can be used to avoid projectiles.
*'''Up Special Move: Rising Uppercut''' - Little Mac spins around and propels himself into the air, ultimately performing an uppercut.
*'''Down Special Move: Slip Counter''' - This move has Little Mac moving backwards to avoid attacks. Mimicking the gameplay of the ''Punch-Out!!'' games, if someone attempts to attack him when he is performing this move, a representation of a heartbeat will appear and Little Mac will automatically counter-punch the would-be attacker.
*'''Final Smash: Giga Mac''' - This Final Smash can be used when a Smash Ball is activated. It turns Little Mac temporarily into Giga Mac, which makes him a lot stronger while restricting his mobility.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*Little Mac appeared as an unlockable character in ''Fight Night: Round 2'' for the [[Gamecube]]. This version used the appearance of the ''Super Punch-Out!!'' boxer with Little Mac's name, which has supported theories that they are the same person.
*Little Mac appears in ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'' as an inhabitant of Mimin Island. He is shown to have become overly obese over the years and came to the island in hopes of finding a way to become champ again. [[Captain Rainbow (character)|Nick]] can compete against him in boxing minigames and help him with dietary training to make Mac lose weight, although it is possible for him to lose too much weight and become dangerously thin. Successful training will make Little Mac resemble his original appearance.

===Super Smash Bros.===

*Little Mac appeared as an assist trophy (and an accompanying normal trophy) in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. After being summoned, he attacks opponents with punches and the occasional uppercut. His trophy lists ''Punch-Out!!'' for the NES as his only appearance, adding to the confusion about the identity of  ''Super Punch-Out!!''.
*He returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character. He comes with a special power meter that, when filled, can temporarily allow Little Mac to deliver a one-hit KO uppercut. His alternate costumes also include a set where Little Mac is mute and composed of wireframes, in reference to the arcade version of the protagonist. The Giga Mac transformation is also present as his Final Smash. Little Mac also has one trophy in both versions, in addition to an extra trophy in the 3DS version as well as trophies for Giga Mac, his wireframe form and his overweight ''Captain Rainbow'' appearance in the Wii U version.

==Other Media==

*Little Mac makes a cameo appearance in the opening of the ''Captain N'' comic, where he is seen punching out [[Glass Joe]]. This is the only reference to Mac found in ''Captain N''-related media, despite [[King Hippo]] appearing in both the animated series and the comics.
*Little Mac was featured in several ''Punch-Out!!'' comics that were made for the Nintendo Comics System. The first strip, "The First Fight", depicts his first meeting with Doc Louis which leads to his victory over Glass Joe. 

=Trivia=
*It's debatable whether the hero of ''Super Punch-Out!!'' is Little Mac. His hair and eye color are different.
