Great Tiger



Great Tiger (Japanese: グレートタイガー; Hepburn: Gurēto Taigā) made his first appearance in the arcade as the "Champion of India" in the 1984 game Super Punch-Out!!. Next he showed up on the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, as the #1 ranked competitor in the Major Circuit. Great Tiger has also appeared as a Hasbro action figure and in a Topps trading card series.

The music played for Great Tiger (also used for Von Kaiser and Super Macho Man) is an excerpt from the classical composition "Ride of the Valkyries." Unlike the other opponents that have theme music, the music is played at the beginning of the second and third round when he teleports to the ring center and not the first.

He returned in Punch-Out!! for the Wii where he was once again the #1 of Major Circuit.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he gets hired by the Preschool Pack as their sparring partner and trainer and by Jyoti Kaur as her bodyguard.
