Biography[]
Punch-Out!! (2009)[]
Disco Kid is the 3rd opponent of the Minor Circuit in this game, as well as the 3rd opponent overall. He is the only new boxer in the game, as all the rest have already debuted in previous installments. In his Contender intro, he is shown to be very fond of disco dancing like it's the 1970s. He also has stereos built in his car so that he can blast music in public. At some point, he would join the WVBA to become a boxer and defeat Little Mac.
However, he ends up losing, making him sad as shown in his Title Defense intro, where he finds a poster that advertises boxercising and decides to quit disco dancing to do boxercise instead, where instead of boxing shorts is now wearing a purple leotard. He tries defeating Little Mac once again to take his title, but still loses, making Little Mac uphold his title as Champion.
Personality[]
During matches, Disco Kid is shown to be very flashy and flamboyant, showing his dance moves to Little Mac while taunting him, as well as flashing his teeth. Unlike a majority of the other boxes however, Disco Kid does not seem to hate Little Mac as when he lost towards him he didn't show any hostility. Disco Kid is also shown to be rather cocky and optimistic, even telling the player when he is about to attack. He is also shown to be constantly smiling, even when he is knocked down. Once defeated, Disco Kid will start spinning around the ring and afterward falling to the ground, saying "Ouch..." in pain.

- Disco Pose - A move that he uses to taunt Little Mac. His teeth start flashing, which will allow the player to get a star once punching him.
- Disco Flurry - A Title Defense move. Disco Kid will say "I can teach you how to move!" and throws three jabs at Little Mac that require precise timing in order to dodge.
