Little Mac (リトルマック Ritoru Makku) made his appearance in the game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Like his name states, he is a very little character. Despite his size, he entered a boxing tournament and was able to become a champion.
Character Description
Little Mac is 17 years old, and has a small stature, standing 4'8"/142 cm in the NES versions and 5'7"/170 cm in the Wii game, and weighing in at 107 lb/49 kg. Mac grew up in the Bronx, New York, and dreamed of becoming a professional boxer. But because of his size, no trainer would take him on until he met Jerome "Doc" Louis, himself a former champ. Thanks to Doc's training, Mac was able to enter the World Video Boxing Association tournament and fight his way to the top, tackling opponents who were increasingly bigger than him such as Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, King Hippo, Great Tiger, Bald Bull, Soda Popinski, and Mr. Sandman. The greatest asset Mac gained from his training was Doc's patented "Star Punch" technique. After stunning an opponent, Mac could deliver a powerful uppercut instead of his usual jabs and hooks.
After conquering a circuit, Mac would continue to train with Doc, often jogging through New York in a pink sweatsuit while Doc biked ahead. The Wii version also details the other exercises Mac would go through in Doc's gym. Mac was eventually able to topple Mr. Dream (or real-life boxer Mike Tyson depending on the version) and take the WVBA title.
In the multiplayer "Head-to-Head" mode in Punch-Out!! for Wii, Mac has the ability to transform into a giant called Giga Mac. While in his Giga Mac state, Mac is much slower, but can hit as hard as some of the opponents he faces.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Little Mac makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an Assist Trophy. 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 devastatingly powerful, dealing very high damage (25% damage) and KOing under 50%, as well as being an instant shield breaker. With his speed and immense power, Little Mac is one of the most dangerous Assist Trophies in Brawl, and is very capable of KOing each of the summoner's opponents. However, Little Mac is extremely prone to falling off the stage, even moreso than other Assist Trophies, which leaves him very unreliable, especially if the opponents can lure him off the stage. 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.
Trophy
NTSC: 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.

Little Mac works his way up the ranks, taking out foes several times his size. If he saves up the ☆'s he gets from hitting his opponent, he can throw a powerful uppercut.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
As a Playable Fighter
Little Mac has been confirmed to be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed in the February 13th Nintendo Direct. He has a power meter that, when fully charged, allows him to use a one-hit KO uppercut. His attacks consist solely of punching. He is stated to be an excellent ground fighter, but very bad in aerial combat.

Trivia
- In order of being revealed, Little Mac is the first Assist Trophy in Brawl, and the overall second assist character in the Smash series, after Charizard, to become playable in later installments.
- Given that Punch-Out!! is itself a fighting game series, Little Mac is the first character in the Smash Bros. series to have originated in a fighting game. Consequently, he also belongs to a group of characters who have also appeared in another fighting game, which includes Donkey Kong (whom he previously appeared with in Punch-Out!! for the Wii), Link, Snake, Sonic and Mega Man.
- Little Mac is the 2nd playable character whose homeworld is a real life place, the first being R.O.B. Little Mac is a fictional character unlike R.O.B. however.
