Pizza Pasta, like Kid Quick, only appeared in the arcade version of Punch-Out!!. His first and last names are references to Italian food. According to Punch-Out!! creator Genyo Takeda in his interview for the 2009 Punch-Out!! Wii title, the boxer's name "means that he sticks around and is hard to beat down.", while former president of HAL Laboratory and current president of Nintendo Co. Ltd. said " Like the way cheese on pizza is sticky."
Appearances
Punch-Out!! (1984)
In the Punch-Out!! arcade, he fights with his basic moves as quick and tough as Kid Quick; however, his most notable move is when he comes in to grab his opponent. As soon as he is done, he throws a very powerful uppercut. Players must keep punching him in the face repeatedly until he goes down. In the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!!, an Irish boxer name Aran Ryan does a superior version of Pizza Pasta's special move, which not only grabs his opponent, but also regains health.
