- Notes: King Hippo is one of my preferred characters in the game and unquestionably the most comical. He is characterized by his voluminous mouth, paunch, and shorts. The key to defeating him is targeting his shorts with a precise punch that will cause them to drop to the ground. When he reaches down to pull them back up, Little Mac can seize the opportunity to finish him off. Diehard fans of the game will appreciate the reference to the X mark on King Hippo's belly, which denotes his weak spot.
