'''Little Mac''' ({{ja|リトル・マック|Ritoru Makku}}, ''Little Mac'') is the main character of the {{uv|Punch-Out!!}} series. Originally debuting as a nameless boxer in the [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|arcade version of ''Punch-Out!!'']], Little Mac gained his name and backstory beginning with the [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (NES)|NES installment of ''Punch-Out!!'']]<ref name=SakuraiMac/>


As his name implies, Little Mac has a small frame, which grants him his trademark maneuverability and speed. Trained by former heavyweight boxing champion [[Doc Louis]], Little Mac entered a boxing tournament and managed to become a champion by defeating several opponents much larger and more experienced than him.
Little Mac (リトルマック　ritoru makku) made his appearance in the game ''[[Punch-Out!!]]''. Like his name states, he was a very little character yet he went into a boxing tournament. Despite his size, he was able to become a champion. After a long time without being heard of, he makes an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Little Mac is an [[Assist Trophy]] helper in the game.
When summoned, he dashes about the stage to opponents, attacking by dealing two straight punches and an uppercut. The punches do a good amount of damage and the uppercut is devastating because it has very high power (25% damage) and knockback, and is an instant shieldbreaker. If at the right damage percentage, Little Mac can get easy KOs for you. The punching sound effects from ''Punch-Out!!'' can be heard as Little Mac attacks. Little Mac receives his own [[trophy]] in the game, like all other Assist Trophies.


After making cameos as a regular [[trophy]] and [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Little Mac transitioned into a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and has remained as such since then.
==Trophy Description==
''A lightweight scrapper from the Bronx. After meeting with a former boxing great named Doc Louis who fell from glory, Mac takes Doc on as his coach, and together the pair try for the championship belt in the WVBA. Little Mac works his way up the ranks of the WVBA, taking out foes several times his size. By landing multiple blows, Little Mac gains a "☆" uppercut.''


==Origin==
{{stub}}
[[File:Littlemacnes.png|thumb|left|60px|Little Mac, as he appears in ''{{b|Punch-Out!!|NES}}'' for the NES.]]
{{AssistTrophies}}
 
Mac is a 17-year-old New Yorker from The Bronx who aspires to become a professional boxer. Due to being only 4'8"/142 cm, his below-average stature turned most trainers away from teaching him. However, upon meeting former heavyweight boxing champion [[Doc Louis]] by chance, Mac convinced him to become his trainer. Some time thereafter, the now rechristened Little Mac officially turned pro by joining the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA), with Doc joining him as his {{iw|wikipedia|cornerman}}.
 
Little Mac's fighting style most closely resembles the real life style of the Out-Boxer, more specifically the Counterpunch sub-style. Due to his small stature, Little Mac uses a defensive strategy that focuses on dodging the opponent's attacks before capitalizing on their mistakes and counterattacking before backing off and repeating the process, which makes up the gameplay of the entire ''Punch Out!!'' series. However, the greatest asset Little Mac gained from this training was Doc's signature Star Punch. After stunning an opponent, Mac can throw a powerful uppercut instead of his usual jabs and hooks.
 
Thanks to adhering to Doc's expertise and training regimen, which most notably featured him wearing a pink sweatsuit while jogging after a bicycling Doc, Little Mac proceeds to defeat opponents who are increasingly larger and more experienced than him. Ultimately, Mac manages to win the WVBA Minor Circuit, Major Circuit, and even World Circuit Championships en route to knocking out the promotion's top-ranked fighter: real-life boxer and then-[[wikipedia:List of heavyweight boxing champions|world heavyweight champion]] {{iw|wikipedia|Mike Tyson}} in the original NES version, or the fictional and undefeated Mr. Dream in the re-released NES version.
 
What happens after Little Mac defeats Tyson/Dream is unknown, but what is known is that he returns in ''Super Punch-Out!!'' with a radically different look, a lack of titles and, perhaps most notably, without Doc Louis as his coach and cornerman.<ref name=SuperMac/> As he did before, Little Mac must defeat other boxers, almost all of whom are new opponents, in order to reclaim each of his titles. If he manages to go undefeated throughout his title hunt, Mac will also be able to challenge for a WVBA championship he never held in his original run: the Special Circuit Championship.
 
Due to having sandy blond hair, a pair of blue shorts, and lacking a tank top, originally there was confusion over whether or not the main protagonist of ''Super Punch-Out!!'' was actually Little Mac (with said character being referred to as Little Mac when he was included in the Gamecube version of EA Sports' ''Fight Night Round 2''). Although Bryce Holliday, a member of the development team for the Wii installment of ''Punch-Out!!'', claimed that this protagonist was not Little Mac, Nintendo later clarified that the two are indeed the same character,<ref name=SuperMac>[https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-punch-out-wii-u/ Super Punch-Out!! for Wii U - Nintendo Game Details]</ref> with Little Mac having changed his appearance after splitting ways with Doc Louis.
 
===Reboot===
After a 15-year hiatus, the ''Punch-Out!!'' series was rebooted with [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (Wii)|a titular installment on the Wii]],<ref>[https://www.nextlevelgames.com/games/punch-out/ Punch-Out!! – Next Level Games]</ref> and followed by a prequel, [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (Wii)#Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!|''Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!'']], shortly thereafter.<ref name=Doc>[https://www.nextlevelgames.com/games/doc-louiss-punch-out/ Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! – Next Level Games]</ref> In addition to borrowing a few elements from the home console versions of ''Punch-Out!!'' and ''Super Punch-Out!!'', the Wii installment features multiplayer and a redesigned cast (such as Little Mac's height being updated to 5'7"/170 cm), while it and its prequel collectively expand Little Mac's backstory, his friendship with Doc Louis, and the personalities of his opponents.
 
In ''Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!'', Little Mac undergoes three final training sessions as an amateur boxer by personally sparring with Doc.<ref name=Doc/> Although Mac is initially worried over the damage he inflicts on his trainer, the end of each session sees Doc reassure Mac of how proud he is of his progression. At some point during these sessions, Doc pulls a chocolate bar out of his pocket and Mac instinctively punches it out of his hand. This enrages Doc, who aggressively takes off his red track jacket to reveal a leopard print t-shirt, which causes Mac to recoil in horror. Upon successfully clearing the final session, Doc jokingly asks if he is ready for a chocolate cake in order to celebrate, to which Mac responds by laughing alongside him.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kl-1AQxdVo Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! - Boss Rush (All Doc Louis Fights, No Damage)]</ref>
 
Following this, Little Mac's journey as a professional boxer unfolds similarly to how it did in the NES version, albeit with a few changes added for the sake of expanding the plot. In addition to retaining his classic jogging method, brief cutscenes show Little Mac learning other training methods from Doc (weightlifting, jumping rope, performing one-armed push-ups and inclined sit-ups, and punching [[wikipedia:Punching bag#Types of bag|a heavy bag, a speed bag]], and Doc's {{iw|wikipedia|focus mitt}}s). As Little Mac progresses through Contender Mode, the personalities and/or lifestyles of his opponents are also gleaned over via brief montages of pictures, sometimes for humorous effect.
 
Unlike in previous installments, Little Mac's title hunt does not end upon winning the World Circuit Championship. Instead, completing Contender Mode will unlock Title Defense Mode, which sees each of his previous opponents become contenders that adopt new tactics and, in some cases, much more antagonistic attitudes. Upon retaining his title against each opponent, Mac's Last Stand will be unlocked. Some time after the events of Title Defense Mode, Doc Louis is exasperated to learn that Little Mac intends to repeatedly fight each of his past opponents in a random order until he loses three times, at which point he will retire.
 
Despite his initial shock, Doc relents to Little Mac's decision upon seeing his determination, and continues to support him as his coach and cornerman. In addition to previous opponents, Mac can potentially face the iconic and fittingly powerful [[Donkey Kong]] as a challenger,<ref name=DK>[https://kotaku.com/every-punch-out-opponent-ranked-1750664537 Every ''Punch-Out!!'' Opponent, Ranked]</ref> while winning ten fights will unlock the optional Champion's Mode. Ultimately, Mac loses three fights and subsequently retires, but not before receiving praise from a somber, yet proud Doc. Some time after Little Mac's retirement, ''Punch-Out!!''{{'}}s epilogue shows Doc walking alone in a museum exhibit showcasing various highlights of his and Mac's journey and success. After gently ringing his bicycle's bell one final time, Doc congratulates Mac on a job well done.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DFOwKPA__Q Punch Out Wii - Title Defense - Mac's Last Stand + Ending]</ref>

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:LittleMacBrawlAssist.jpg|thumb|left|Little Mac, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]
Little Mac makes an appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as an [[Assist Trophy]].<ref name=Brawl/> Instead of using a 3D version of his ''Super Punch-Out!!'' design as he did in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] version of ''{{iw|wikipedia|Fight Night Round 2}}'', Little Mac uses a 3D version of his design from the NES version of ''Punch-Out!!'' Fittingly, his punches retain their sound effects from said game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PfyqOZgR8w Evolution of Little Mac (1983 - 2018)]</ref>
 
When summoned, Little Mac [[dash]]es quickly toward his summoner's opponents, and will attack by throwing a {{iw|wikipedia|one-two combo}} and an uppercut.<ref name=Brawl>[https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_uk/items/assist/assist10.html Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Assist Trophies - Little Mac]</ref> The one-two combo deals respectable damage, whereas the uppercut is devastatingly powerful: it deals 25%, [[KO]]s under 50%, and is an instant [[shield break]]er.
 
Due to his speed and immense power, Little Mac is one of the most dangerous Assist Trophies in the game. However, he is also very inconsistent, as he is easily prone to falling off-stage, especially if the opponents can lure him off-stage. Like his fellow Assist Trophies, Little Mac has his own [[trophy]].

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a playable character===
{{Main|Little Mac (SSB4)}}
[[File:Little Mac SSB4.png|thumb|Little Mac, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]
Little Mac appears as a [[newcomer]] in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. He was formally revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on February 13th, 2014,<ref name=SSB4>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdQg43n2OaM Nintendo Direct 2.13.14]</ref> which commemorated the 30th anniversary of the ''Punch-Out!!'' series.<ref name=SakuraiMac>[https://sourcegaming.info/2015/07/22/the-little-pepper-is-very-hot-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-448/ "The Little Pepper is Very Hot!" Sakurai Famitsu Column vol. 448]</ref> Instead of reusing his design from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Little Mac now uses a slight redesign of his appearance in [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (Wii)|the Wii installment of ''Punch-Out!!'']] Fittingly, he is also accompanied by [[Doc Louis]] during his victory poses, while Doc can also be heard sporadically when Mac taunts.
 
As in ''Brawl'', Little Mac's [[dash]] is both extremely fast (surpassed only by {{SSB4|Sonic}} and {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}) and lowers his hurtbox to the point that he can pseudo-[[crouch]] under a number of attacks and certain projectiles.<ref name=SakuraiMac/> By extension, the rest of his grounded mobility is also excellent, courtesy of his [[walk]]ing speed, [[traction]], [[roll]]s, and [[sidestep]] each being in the top 10 of their respective categories.
 
The majority of Little Mac's grounded attacks boast quick frame data alongside impressive power. His forward tilt, the one-two combo he used in ''Brawl'', is a prime example of this potent combination: it hits on frame 4, yet is capable of KOing middleweights below 120% while near the edge of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}. Little Mac's smash attacks, in particular, boast outstanding power and even grant him [[super armor]] during certain frames, the latter of which allows him to effectively [[Wikipedia:Tank (gaming)|tank]] an opponent's attack despite his status as a lightweight.<ref name=SakuraiMac/> [[Slip Counter]] further supplements his defense, as it is a [[counterattack]] that is tied with [[Double Team]] and [[Witch Time]] as the fastest of its kind in the game.<ref name=SakuraiMac/>
 
Little Mac's [[Final Smash]] is [[Giga Mac]], his gargantuan transformation that can be used during multiplayer of the Wii installment of ''Punch-Out!!'' As Giga Mac, his entire moveset drastically strengthens to the point of boasting a few [[one-hit KO]] options.<ref name=SSB4/> Lastly, Little Mac has a unique mechanic called the [[Power Meter]], which originates from his home series. When fully charged via damage dealt or received, the Power Meter allows him to use the [[Straight Lunge#KO Uppercut|KO Uppercut]], an immensely fast and powerful uppercut that is capable of KOing the entire cast at extremely low percentages.<ref name=SakuraiMac/>
 
However, Little Mac's aerial presence is indisputably the worst of any character in the series. This is because of his aerial attacks being almost totally useless and, more infamously, his recovery being very easily foiled because of his very low [[jump]]/[[double jump]] and both [[Jolt Haymaker]] and [[Rising Uppercut]] having very short travel distances and small [[edge sweetspot]]s.<ref name=SakuraiMac/> Although Little Mac's ground game is nigh-unparalleled, it is not flawless: his overall range is short because of his average size, while his grab game is very unimpressive because of his aforementioned range issue and his throws having very minimal utility.<ref name=SakuraiMac/>
 
Due to his exploitable weaknesses counterbalancing his potent strengths, Little Mac has difficulty performing in high-level play. However, he has nevertheless managed to achieve both average representation and varying levels of success: {{Sm|Cagt}} has achieved several top 10 placings and a few top 25 placings at local and regional tournaments respectively, {{Sm|Destany}} has won several local tournaments in both singles and [[doubles]] play, and {{Sm|Sol}}, {{Sm|Vash}}, and {{Sm|Alphicans}} have each achieved a few respectable placings in singles play and a few high placings in doubles play at regional and national tournaments. As a result, Little Mac is currently ranked 43rd out of 54 on the [[tier list]]. This places him in the E tier, and posits him as the second lowest ranked mid tier character.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a playable character===
{{main|Little Mac (SSBU)}}
[[File:Little Mac SSBU.png|thumb|Little Mac, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
Little Mac returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. He was formally announced alongside the rest of the cast via ''Ultimate''{{'}}s E3 2018 trailer on June 12th, 2018.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - E3 2018 - Nintendo Switch]</ref> Unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Little Mac is now an [[unlockable character]], and Giga Mac now [[Giga Mac Rush|performs a rapid barrage of punches]] instead of being a controllable transformation. Little Mac has also lost eight of his sixteen alternate costumes from ''SSB4'', to have eight costumes like the entirety of the playable cast.
 
Despite being a lower mid-tier character in ''SSB4'', Little Mac received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to ''Ultimate'' that resulted in him generally being viewed as being nerfed overall. While he has received useful direct buffs, he received heavy nerfs to his damage output and combo potential. In addition, the universal engine changes in ''Ultimate'' hinder him more so than help him, which is noticeable by how most of the cast benefits from said changes in comparison to him. While balance changes have improved his perception and he has dedicated mains who have achieved impressive results in both regional and national tournaments, Little Mac's struggles in competitive play have resulted in him having extremely low representation overall, with most players considering him a bottom 5 character, and resulting in him being ranked 81st out of 82 in the current ''Ultimate'' tier list in the E+ tier.

==Trivia==
*Little Mac is the first playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have been an [[Assist Trophy]] in a previous installment. He would later be followed by [[Dark Samus]] and [[Isabelle]].
**In addition, he is the second summonable character in the series who is playable in a later installment, the first being [[Charizard]], who was a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''SSB'' and ''Melee''.
***Of the four, he is the only former summonable character to represent a new universe instead of being an addition to an already represented universe.
*Despite being voiced by English-speaking voice actors in the ''Punch-Out!!'' series, Little Mac is voiced by a Japanese voice actor in all of his appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
*Little Mac and [[Wario]] are the only characters whose number of [[alternate costume]]s reduced in the transition from one installment to the next. In the case of Mac, he has 16 in ''SSB4'' and has 8 in ''Ultimate''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/allsourcegaming/status/704350440939360256 Source Gaming on Twitter: "#SmashTrivia Little Mac is the only character in Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U to have 16 costume choices, instead of 8."]</ref>
*Little Mac is the first character to feature a unique UI element beside their damage meter (namely the [[Power Meter]]), and is the only such character in {{for3ds}}.
*Fitting with his professional boxing fighting style and his appearances in the ''Punch Out!!'' games, Little Mac only uses punches throughout every appearance in the ''Smash Bros.'' series, since boxing does not involve leg attacks.
