Punch Out!!** refers to both Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! and Punch Out!! Feat. Mr. Dream.
In 1984, Nintendo created an arcade boxing game titled Punch Out!!. It was a fun arcade boxer with six fighters to face off against. After the successful American launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, Nintendo and Genyo Takedo sought out Mike Tyson to be a licensed character in the boxing game, and the rest is history. Gone was the partially transparent faceless boxer gamers would use, and in its place came the perennial underdog, Little Mac. The game turned out to be an instant classic. Sadly, after licensing issues with Tyson (not due to his arrest and conviction in 1991 as was erroneously spread in folklore) came about in 1990, the game was released simply as Punch Out!! with the final match changed to Mr. Dream, a character whose physical traits looked strikingly similar to Tyson's. The title could have had plenty of achievements strewn throughout, each with varying degrees of difficulty.
