I like that Disco Kid's title defense look is based on aerobics. Not only does it fit his personality, but it's also fitting since Disco was peak 70s and aerobics was peak 80s. Wonder if he would go full Grunch next.
Fun Fact: Disco Kid is referred to as “kidquick” in the game files, Kid Quick being a character from the original 1984 Punch Out arcade game. Not only that but they are both 210 lb and both are from Brooklyn. Doc even references Kid Quick during intermission. It’s likely that Disco Kid started out as Kid Quick but so many changes were made to the character during development that it warranted him being a completely separate character.
List of quotes said by Disco Kid: "Yeah! Whoo!" (when the player selects him in Contender) "Oh! Ah! Oh! Oh! Oh! Ah! Oh! Oh! Ready for this? Yeah, Disco Kid!" (Contender intro) "Uh-huh… Hey, good-lookin'!" (Contender pre-round animation) "Step it up, Mac. Where's your hustle?" (Contender intermission) "I've got the disco fever. Can you feel the rhythm?" (Contender intermission) "Yeah!" (Contender taunt) "Here it comes!" (when throwing his left hook in Contender) "Poof!" (when hitting the player with his left hook in Contender) "Whoo!"

(when the player loses to him in Contender) "Oh no!" (when the player throws a Star Punch at him in Contender) "Ugh… Yeah!" (when he gets up from a knockdown in Contender) "Watch me move!" (Contender taunt; unused) "Ouch!" (during the KO/TKO animation) "Whee! Ah, stretch!" (when the player selects him in Title Defence) "5, 6, 7, 8, and stretch, and back, and down. Now flex, straight, let's go!" (Title Defence intro) "WHEEEEEEEEEE!!! Whoo! I-am-fa-bu-lous." (Title Defence pre-round animation) "Come on, Mac, feel the burn! Let's work it!" (Title Defence intermission) "I have a three-step programme for you: I punch you. You fall down. I win!" (Title Defence intermission) "Boxercise!" (when throwing his left hook in Title Defence) "Rush attack!" (when throwing his right jab in Title Defence) "And one!" (before throwing a right hook in Title Defence) "And one, and two!" (before throwing two right hooks in Title Defence) "Ugh…" (when reacting to a Star Punch) "Argh…" (when reacting to a Star Punch) "Gotcha!" (when he dodges the player's Star Punch) "Uh-huh!" (when he dodges the player's Star Punch) "Ugh… Boxercise!" (when he gets up from his first knockdown in Title Defence) "I can teach you how to move." (before the Disco Flurry) "Oh yeah! Here we go! Here we go!" (before the Disco Flurry) "One, two, three!" (when performing his Disco Flurry) "Speed-back!" (when throwing his left jab) "Haha!" (when the player loses to him in Title Defence) Disco Kid's voice: Donny Lucas
There’s even hints in the game’s files that suggest that they were originally developing Kid Quick for the game but decided to later just make him into Disco Kid
It's possible that while Disco Kid had a negative win-loss differential, he was still on the rise, just had a bad start. Meanwhile Kaiser had a strong start but was on a decline, going on a bit of a losing skid. Maybe Disco also got a win or two off of Kaiser himself, which would help his standings.
Little Mac and Disco Kid would be a great buddy cop duo. Little Mac is the cop that gets shit done by the book And Disco Kid is the cop that enjoys life and is also surprisingly effective
I don’t think Disco Kid should be made into a terrible boxer though, he should be like Kid Quick. That guy was all that in the arcade version of Punch-Out.

I love his enthusiastic "Let's Go!" when Mac gets back up. Like he's just happy he's up and that it's not over yet.
How can one even hate this man?
It’s my headcanon that Little Mac and Disco Kid become friends after the title defense bout.
I loke this interpretation, I wish it was canon.
@@Delightfully_Witchy Same.
My headcanon is that he's a fruity bi dude who loves disco
agreed
Glass Joe: my headcanon that Disco Kid and become after the defense bout have to agree is
I can't be the only one who unironically loved this sweet fella.
Dudes pretty hard to hate :P
He's just a really nice fighter in this game,
Doesn't really aim for competitive, but he's just grooving
It's impossible to hate him, he's such a wholesome dude
Who would hate this kind gentleman?
You aren’t.

House, assuming Disco Kid lasted after 1987.
Disco definitely fits the early 80s Disco Aerobics phase

Disco Kid's voice: Donny Lucas
Impressive.
I have to agree, disco kid is really fabulous
Disco Kid was proof that Punch-Out could still deliver when it came to newcomers. Shame he was the only one, though.
Well technically, he's kind of a reboot of Kid Quick from the Arcade game.
There’s even hints in the game’s files that suggest that they were originally developing Kid Quick for the game but decided to later just make him into Disco Kid
Honestly Kid Quick literally had zero personality or character, Disco Kid is a great new version.
Similarities or Not, Disco Kid's an entirely Different Character.
hey disco kids not the only newcomer, theres also donkey kong technically
He's zesty af. I love him
Im proud to say that Disco Kid is the world champion in my 100% save

But it sounds fruity
I notice that his title defense, his hair went from almost bald to grow small afro. Its a cool detail
I think his hair started from a buzz cut to an afro.
This guy might be a terrible boxer but I admire his confidence.
He's quick for a heavyweight at least tho plus the undeniable charisma since the crowd goes wild at him unlike any other boxer in the game.

Yo, Disco Kid literally does "The Carlton."
I loved that dance from fresh prince ☺️☺️☺️☺️
It still too bad Disco Kid nor Aran ryan got spirit forms in ultimate though
Yeah that would have been cool. Disco Kid’s spirit would taunt a lot and Aran’s spirit would have increased speed
Nah for Aran. Aran is taunt and speed white and green luigi to me and disco kid could be a blue little mac
It is to bad for Aran Ryan but I don't really like disco kid like, at all
Wait the other ones are?
Who knows, maybe we might get Mr. Sandman in a future smash brothers game with Aran Ryan and Disco Kid as spirits.

2:05 Why does he has a face like Will from Shark Tale cover?
wait that does look like him lmao 😂
I don't get how Disco Kid, who has more loses than wins, is in front of Von Kaiser with 23 wins.
I think it was because the minor circuit was sorted by losses and if I remember correctly, Disco Kid had one less loss than Von Kaiser
It's possible that while Disco Kid had a negative win-loss differential, he was still on the rise, just had a bad start. Meanwhile Kaiser had a strong start but was on a decline, going on a bit of a losing skid.
Maybe Disco also got a win or two off of Kaiser himself, which would help his standings.
this had to be the zestiest boxer in the game
lightskins are canon in punch-out
SIIIN, SIN CITY WASN'T MADE FO YAAA
I bet he’d get along with Dee Jay from Street Fighters
If we ever get a new Punch-Out game hopefully Disco Kid & his successor Kid Quick can return.
Some say that Disco Jesus was his teacher
I like to think that the area the minor circuit ring takes place in is owned by Disco Kid.
This guy is my favorite in this game.
It's not in this video but I love how he says, "Here it comes!" before he punches at you.

It's so hard to hate this guy
This guy screams homosexuality and i just love it ❤
"I've got... the disco fever...."

you didnt show "I can teach you how to MOVE" or "oh yeah here we go here we go"

you left out the "here it comes!"

fr like, i can hear the homosexuality in his voice
Is Disco kid the only new character in Punch out 2009?
