The Jolt Haymaker has no direct origin in Little Mac's abilities in the ''Punch-Out!!'' games.

However, one of the series' recurring opponents, Von Kaiser, uses a similar jumping overhead punch in his Title Defense match in ''Punch-Out!!'' on Wii, which would knock out Little Mac in one hit if not dodged. The move's name may be based on its ability to "jolt" Little Mac forward with high speed while attacking. | ||
The move is based on the real-world overhand punch technique, commonly refered to as the "haymaker." It is a wide, looping hook that is meant to go over the defences of the opponent and hit them in the head. A great amount of force can be generated with this technique, as it is often seen as a knockout blow, though it is very commital and can be easily punished if it is anticipated. The name is also a possible reference to the [https://ippo.fandom.com/wiki/Jolt_Blow Jolt Blow] technique from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Hajime no Ippo}}'' series. This technique was created by the character Jimmy Sisphar and involves the fighter putting their entire weight into their punch, often launching themselves forward off the ground in a similar fashion to what Little Mac does. | The move is based on the real-world overhand punch technique, commonly refered to as the "haymaker."
