Mac has four different kinds of punch. If your opponent dodges or parries your punch, or if you take a hit, you will lose hearts. You need hearts to attack, so avoid your opponent’s punches and build those hearts back up.

Press when you have at least one star to throw a powerful uppercut. You gain stars by landing punches on your opponent at the right moment. You lose a star each time you’re hit. If you’re knocked down, you’ll lose all your stars.

You lose stamina if you get hit. If your stamina goes to 0, you will be knocked down, at which point the referee starts the count. If he makes it to ten, you lose. If you’re knocked down, press or repeatedly to get back up.
