Kid Quick (Japanese: キッド・クイック, Kiddo Kuikku), like Pizza Pasta, only appeared in the arcade version of Punch-Out!!. Just like Glass Joe, he has no special attack. As his last name "Quick" implies, he is very fast in both offense and defense. He is a pallete swap of Glass Joe.

Appearances[]

Punch-Out!! (1984)[]

F04 - kid quick

In the arcade version of Punch-Out!!, the trick to knocking out Kid Quick is to do the pattern "left, left, right, right" to his head. On the last right, he will throw a low body punch, which requires the player to dodge it and repeat. If players can't get in the pattern correctly, they'll have to keep trying to punch him in the head with a right. When Kid Quick does a low body blow punch, players must dodge it and then do the "left, left, right, right" pattern to the head in order to succeed.

After 1984 debut[]

Kid Quick did not appear in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Don Flamenco, being Glass Joe's palette swap in said game, can be considered a replacement to Kid Quick, despite them sharing no resemblance.

In the 2009 installment of Punch-Out!!, the character Disco Kid is considered a spiritual successor to Kid Quick. Disco Kid's data is labeled "kidquick" on the game's disc, leading to the belief that Disco Kid and Kid Quick are one and the same. It is uncertain if Disco Kid is, in fact, the same character as Kid Quick or if he was possibly intended to appear in the game before being scrapped and substituted with a new character. What is true of this connection is that the developers had Disco Kid retain all of Kid Quick's statistics.

Trivia[]

  • Kid Quick is the only boxer in the game that doesn't appear with his blue-gloved counterpart.
  • It is assumed, that Disco Kid is a re-worked version of Kid Quick because of their names.
    • Also, Disco Kid's data on the disc is labeled as Kid Quick.
