Any game that features combatants from around the world tends to play up the differences between cultures. The Mexican dude will probably have a luchador mask and love maracas, the Aussie wears a boomerang for a belt, stuff like that. It's understandable to a certain degree, but GamesRadar have to admit, Punch-Out!!, as a series, has a lot more (good natured) fun with stereotypes than any other game they can think of.
They say laughter is the best medicine, so what better way is there to sooth racial tensions than with friendly jabs at everyone's equal expense?

"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.

...wat
that is the name of the game.
Also this article was a great read. I was afraid they'd de-stereotyped Punch-Out!! Wii to make it more family-friendly or something.
What a great article. I particular like the fun historical facts. Now that's writing and research.
Punch-Out!! If you haven't played it yet, you should really do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. It is actually a lot more challenging than I was expecting it to be.
Nintendo are renowned for being racist.
