    Also, the manga the Japanese guy was holding is actually a Sailor Moon manga, and I think that led to some legal issues for the game. Also, the reason why there's a French and Canadian guy is because the team for Punch-out is in Canada whose official languages are English and French. Also, the first Punch-out game for the NES, featured Soda Popinski as Vodka Drunkinski. But in Super Punch-out and onward, his name was changed to avoid further controversy, since alcohol in games is often frowned upon. Despite that, Soda Popinski does get pissy after drinking soda, could be alcoholic soda.

      There are Jamaican and British boxers in Super Punch-Out. One is just a Bob Marley expy and the other is a narcissistic rich British kid going to some cushy Ivy-leauge school as an athlete. When he gets mad, his speech slips from the Queen's English to working class Londoner slang with a transcribed Cockney accent. This is kind of interesting, since it implies that he, like a lot of British people, actually speaks with that accent naturally and puts on his more "proper" mannerisms in order to fit in with British society.

    Most obvious that its almost not worth mentioning, his name was originally Piston Honda as in the Japanese brand of cars. Japan has been in the top 3 in auto manufacturing since the 60's.
    The background music in his cutscene is the song Sakura Sakura, a traditional song that is considered very stereotypical.
    Not sure if this is really a stereotype but his hachimaki (headband) says "ichiban" which means number 1. I've seen this exact hachimaki in a lot of tourist places in Japan and even some Japanese grocery stores in the US.

    4:27 - Wait. The Daler Mehndi references (the spirits thing in his Title Defense rematch, for example) weren't just intentional, but Daler Mehndi, _himself,_ contributed to Great Tiger's revisions and presentation?! Whoa…

    Y'forgot Don Flamenco's name's a reference to 2 things, "Don" is kind of a Spanish equivalent to the word "Sir" or "Mister" only used in Spain to depict somebody's identity, more often than not accompanied by somethin' that represents what that person's known for, the female for the word bein' "Doña" (not "Dona", never mix up N and Ñ), it can also be used as a respectful or cordial manner so refear to somebody, ussually a higher-up or an elder, and "Flamenco" bein' our regional dancestyle by default, which he performs in 'is cinematics and fight quite often, even stryking poses typical from that dancestyle. Those 2 together coul' depict Don Flamenco's talented at said dance or that he ussually flirts with it and that's so good at it he's known for so
