Exhibition Mode is a mode featured in Punch-Out!! (Wii) as a second way to fight any boxer in the game at any time, excluding Career Mode. Here, the player can also complete Exhibition Challenges and practice fighting opponents before the real match in Career Mode.
Overview[]
When selecting an opponent to fight, they will appear in the order they appeared in Career Mode from left to right, organized by the circuit and rank number they appeared in (excluding Donkey Kong, who appears in a section of his own). For example, if the player wants to fight Title Defense Super Macho Man, they would have to go to the bottom of the screen, select the right arrow to the Title Defense section, go to World S, and select Super Macho Man. When selecting a boxer, their name appears in the spot where the circuit name they appear in is.
Practice Mode[]
When going to fight a boxer in Practice Mode, they will appear like they would after the fight in Career Mode, but when selecting them, the word "Practice" will appear over that boxer's name and continue flashing until after they select them or they defeat them in Career. Little Mac will not take damage or lose hearts in this mode, as indicated by the in-game quote "Don't worry, Mac! These holograms can't hurt you or tire you out during practice!" During Practice, Mac will always wear headgear and the opponent will appear as a blue hologram.

Trivia[]
- During Exhibition and Practice Mode, the theme of the opponent will play in the background. The only exception to this is Mr. Sandman, as his theme is also used as the World Circuit title bout theme.
- Unlike in Career Mode, opponents will remain silent and in their neutral stance when selected in Exhibition or Practice mode.
- After a fight in Career Mode, the logo for the circuit the player is in will appear onscreen and take them to the opponent selection. However, in Exhibition and Practice Mode, the logo for the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA) will show onscreen and take the player to the page they were when they selected the opponent they fought.
- The Exhibition menu music is also used for the controller/player registration in Head-to-Head Mode.
