Little Mac
“The Kid from the Bronx” · Punch-Out!! · 1987 · 4′8″ (142 cm), 107 lb (48.5 kg)
Seventeen-year-old boxer from the Bronx who punches his way up the rankings against opponents twice his size, coached by Doc Louis. Listed at 4′8″ and 107 lb in the original Punch-Out!!
Samus Aran
“The Hunter” · Metroid · 1986 · 6′3″ (190 cm), 198 lb (90 kg)
Galactic bounty hunter raised by the bird-like Chozo, who wipes out Metroids for a living. Nintendo lists 190 cm and 90 kg; fans still argue whether that includes the Power Suit.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by TKO. Little Mac dances well, but Samus is 48 cm taller, so his Star Punch uppercut keeps landing on her ribs instead of her chin. Two rounds in, Doc Louis finally stops pedaling his bicycle and throws in the towel. Samus wins by TKO.
Fair fight? Make Samus fight at Mac's weight, around 50 kg, so his dodging and uppercuts finally matter. Alternatively, let Doc Louis hand out a 42 kg head start.
