After fifteen years of training with Doc Louis, he re-enters the WVBA to claim the title of champion again. After fighting through all of his opponents several times, Mac gets tired of the fame and decides to go out in a blaze of glory (dubbed "Mac's Last Stand"), fighting all of his opponents in rapid succession while losing three times means that he retires. Eventually, he loses and gives up his belt, retiring from the W.V.B.A for a time.

Mac comes out of his retirement from the W.V.B.A to fight against the worlds best! After having only appeared in the previous game as an Assist Trophy, Little Mac was confirmed as a new playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' on February 13, 2014<ref name="Mac Trailer">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmtrmAvL5aw]</ref>, the day of the Japanese release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (to reference his relationship with Donkey Kong). Little Mac features a Power Meter that, when charged up, changes his neutral special attack to a one-hit KO uppercut.<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlKBIZ0uQ]</ref> His [[Final Smash]] is Giga Mac, a form that first appeared in ''Punch-Out!!'' on the Wii.<ref name="Mac Trailer"></ref> Additionally, the player will be able to choose Wire Frame Mac or his pink sweatsuit; from the original arcade version of ''Punch Out!!'' and ''Punch-Out!!'' for the NES respectively, as one of his alternate costumes. Finally, the overweight Little Mac from ''Captain Rainbow'' will appear as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlM9yClbA</ref>
 
It has been said that although Little Mac is a fast and strong fighter when grounded, he is far weaker when in the air, as his attack power drastically decreases, and his recovery ability is poor. If Little Mac wins a match, on the victory screen with the stats and scores, Doc Louis, his coach, will appear cheering with Little Mac.
 
=====Special moves=====
======Straight Lunge======
{{main|SmashWiki:Straight Lunge}}
The '''Straight Lunge''' is Little Mac's neutral special move. When used, Little Mac will wind up his fist multiple times in place; he also will not flinch when attacked while charging. By pressing the button again, Little Mac charges forward, hitting any opponents in his path with an uppercut punch; the more it is charged, the farther he travels and the more powerful the punch is. However, this also causes Little Mac to cool down for a longer period.
 
When Little Mac's KO meter is full, the Straight Lunge becomes replaced with a one-time-use KO uppercut. Little Mac delivers a powerful uppercut to any opponents in front of him, causing them to fly straight up
 
======Jolt Haymaker======
{{main|SmashWiki:Jolt Haymaker}}
The '''Jolt Haymaker''' is Little Mac's side special attack. When used, Little Mac leaps up and delivers a downward punch. If Little Mac lands on a platform while performing the move, he does not punch, and he cannot perform another attack while in midair after using the move.
 
======Slip Counter======
{{main|SmashWiki:Slip Counter}}
The '''Slip Counter''' is Little Mac's down special move. When used, Little Mac will guard and pretend to take a hit; if hit while using the move, he will then counter with an uppercut attack.
 
======Giga Mac======
{{main|SmashWiki:Giga Mac}}
'''Giga Mac''' is the name of Little Mac's [[Final Smash]]. When used, Little Mac will temporarily transform into Giga Mac, similar to [[Bowser#Giga Bowser|Giga Bowser]] or [[Wario-Man]]. While in this state, he will not flinch when attacked, and his attacks are more powerful than before.
 
===''Captain Rainbow''===
[[File:LittleFatMac.png|thumb|left|Little Mac after gaining weight in ''Captain Rainbow''.]]
In ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'', Little Mac has been out of work for some time and has become largely obese due to the events of the game. The game's protagonist, Nick, helps him get back into shape. This form appears as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.
{{br}}
 
===''NES Remix 2''===
In ''[[NES Remix 2]]'', Little Mac makes an appearance in several mini-games based on the original ''Punch-Out!!'' game. They all involve Mac beating various opponents with different restrictions, like knocking out Von Kaiser with an uppercut, blocking Great Tiger's attacks while the screen fades out, or beating a powerful Glass Joe.
