What an ending. Punch-Out ends by showing your boxer celebrating his win of the world championship. Arm Wrestling tells you to get the hell off the machine.
Well, putting a limit on the game might've been for safety reasons, because the original cabinet you were actually "wrestling" against a joystick with your own arm. If the game was allowed to be marathoned like the Punch-Out games, players would play until they either broke something on the cabinet itself or hurt their own arm - why risk the bad publicity either way?
1:20 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. I LOVED Punch-Out and Super Punch-Out in the arcade. I was in 7th grade when this came out. I NEVER noticed, that after you pull of Bad Bull's mask, THATS when you slam his arm down! I thought he was dejected that you pulled off his mask, and that's why you won! Kind of blows the effect the SECOND time you pull off his mask! "Oh, it's Bald Bull!"
I mean, technically he is dejected. In luchador culture, a wrestler always wears their mask, even when not fighting, and removal of it by an opponent is a sign of disrespect
This game has a INTENSE story line! One day your character (who i will call Vince because he has a V on his shirt) decides to join a arm wrestling competition organized by a shady character. The organizer offers a huge money prize if you manage to win. During the competition you have to face of against these baddies: Texas Mac: A man who just got into arm wrestling, he may be RIPPED but he lacks the experience. Kabuki: He is not actually Japanese, he is just a wannabe sumo wrestler. He lied against the organizer and said that he lived in Tokyo. Mask X (Bald Bull): Bald bull was disqualified from boxing in the world video boxing association because he seriously injured a fighter. He doesn't have a job anymore and is short on cash. He now disguises himself and tries to start a new life as a professional arm wrestler. Alice and Ape III: Alice is a normal girl, she goes to school, plays with her friends, goes shopping, builds a giant robotic ape so that she can win a bunch of cash in a arm wrestling competition... Normal stuff. Frank jr: A creation made by the organizer. Why did the organizer make him? Well so that nobody can win the prize! He wants to keep all of it for himself! So he made this unstoppable killing machine! After you have beaten them all the organizer knocks Vince and all the participants out with his huge bag full of money! When you wake up you don't remember anything and you redo the entire competition...
The Alice & Ape III portrait feels very WarioWare. Now that I noticed it, WW (edit: and later the same team's Rhythm Heaven games) feels a lot like a passing of the torch for the cartoony art style Nintendo had going in the 80s.
Alice and Ape 3 looks like the kind of characters that Hannah Barbara would've made back when Flintstones, Jetsons, and Scooby Doo were at their prime.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Elaborating on your point: old-school cartoons in general were hugely influential in early game design. Donkey Kong/Popeye is famously the obvious one, but so many other aspects owe to classic cartoon tropes, even into the 1990s: classic chase slapstick in Sonic and X-ray electric effects in Street Fighter, off the top of my head. In fact, thinking about it now, I can't help but wonder how many veteran designers appreciated Cuphead for that reason.
This game can do scaling effects but I don't understand why they chose to upscale the arm wrestlers at an inconsistent ratio. Those wonky pixels really ruined those beautiful sprites!
I have a head canon that they (Alice/Ape III) have been doing carny stuff like this for years and at the start of it all, she looked like her portrait but now she's been at it for so long she's gotten older, more bitter and completely lost her youthful looks. Still she persists because she's gotta make that money somehow.
My personal guess is that they wanted to place all of the characters who do the wait for the arrow trick during their stun animation all in a row as a mean to make the game harder. But still needed Kabuki to serve as a lead up to them in the first place. So they started out with that order the moved him so that it's no longer a smooth transition in speed/skill making it more likely for a player to need to insert more credits (as this is still an arcade game). But that's just speculation on my end.
Texas Mac just gives up lol how do i take bald bulls mask off, I know that you have to dodge a head butt when he's about finished, but i can't figure out how to pull
Guy makes it to round 20 Game: Dude you took all the money so you basically bankrupted the arm wrestling federation. Now if you'd kindly..... GET OUT! Interesting how it just ends after round 20 where as on games like Pac-Man, or any classes arcade games has what's called a kill screen making it unplayable at that point
Bald bull is probably the most iconic and popular character of Punch out and probably is loved. Btw is this played with the real Arcade machine? Cause you‘re good at this, teach me how to play like you.
@@notsyzagts7967 Did they not make the Mario Kart arcade machines? Was that a separate company? EDIT: Turns out it was Namco that made those. I guess I shouldn't really be that surprised.
That is a random property of the game, just like you never know how many tornado punches Super Macho man will throw after his wind-up animation. It could only be one or 5+ times. It's also known as RNG (random number generator).
Is it wrong that I though Alice was an ARMS character for a hot minute? I was half expecting the next opponent to be Min Min, Ribbon Girl, or Dr. Coyle. D:
The idea of a regular person using a robot to fight was basically the entire idea of mechanica in that game, so i can see where you were coming from… still, mechanica is actually piloting the robot in arms, and Alice just seems to be using a remote control, so it’s not a 100% overlap.
@@a.dennis4835It wasn't as popular as Punch-Out, but it had a good size player base. I think it was because the controls on the arcade couldn't be replicated unless it was a controller made only for that game. Example: To pull Bald Bulls mask off, you have to physically pull the arcade stick up, as though you're going to rip it out of the cabinet.

Gordon Taylor not true. It was a joystick and a button. This game never had a prosthetic arm because Nintendo was too smart for that.
I think they might have been thinking of Jaleco's Arm Champs, which did have an actual arm.
The Opponent but yes major damage
@@TheFoodieCutie Well, the prototype of Arcade Punch Out had joystick gloves, so it wouldn't be strange if Arm Wrestling had special joysticks.

I wonder why they moved Kabuki to last? At first he was between a Texas Mac and Bald Bull, but in all the other rounds he comes after Frankenstein Jr.
My personal guess is that they wanted to place all of the characters who do the wait for the arrow trick during their stun animation all in a row as a mean to make the game harder. But still needed Kabuki to serve as a lead up to them in the first place. So they started out with that order the moved him so that it's no longer a smooth transition in speed/skill making it more likely for a player to need to insert more credits (as this is still an arcade game).
