Glass Joe is usually seen as the easiest character to beat in any version of Punch-Out!! he is in. He has poor defensive skills and takes quite a while to mount any offense. His lone signature maneuver is his "Taunt Punch" in which he takes a few steps back, shakes his gloves, mumbles a few words and then rushes forward to unleash his right hook, which can be easily be counter-punched for an immed

He made his next appearance on the Nintendo Entertainment System game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! in 1987, once again as the very first opponent in the Minor Circuit. He is still extremely weak and almost never punches or blocks. When he executes his

Taunt Punch, it is very weak and if he is punched before executing it, he'll be knocked down no matter how much health he has left. He is mostly in the game for players to learn how to use punches and avoid attacks. His palette swap is Don Flamenco.

be a somewhat nervous Frenchman with a love for baguettes and coffee. He retains his frailness and status as a mere punching bag for beginners, alternating between guarding his upper and lower torso. He does not throw punches often until he performs his "Vive La France" taunt. He is voiced by Christian Bernard, and speaks legitimate French. If you lose to him, he will say his name, march around, a

nd show his weak toughness. Glass Joe returns in Title Defense to defeat Mac and win the champion's belt. When you battle him, he has gained some protective headgear from his doctor (which is allowed after suffering 100 losses, Little Mac can get one too), is slightly faster, and learned some fake-out moves, allowing him to actually be a challenging opponent. Also, because his headgear will blo

ck jabs for him, he only needs to guard his stomach, meaning that his poor between-punches defense has now been fixed. A Star Uppercut will knock his headgear up into the air, allowing a good opportunity to hit his face with your fists. A 1-Star Punch allows 6 jabs, a 2-star punch gives you 9 jabs, and the 3-star punch allows 13 jabs. At some point, his headgear will shine yellow (normally one jab

To his credit, Glass Joe never gives up—he's lost more bouts than most have fought in, and yet he never surrenders.

k point. Knock him out and...it'll rain croissants. Weird things aside, there's one thing you can say about Glass Joe: he's a man who doesn't give up, no matter how many times he loses. Glass Joe has also appeared as a Hasbro Action Figure, in a Topps trading card series, and on a Punch-Out!! garbage can. He also made a cameo appearance in Captain N: The Game Master in the episode Videolympics,

Matching his weak physique, Glass Joe constantly complains about his pain in between rounds. He can be heard complaining about such things as his gloves being too tight, being too old for fighting, his stomach hurting and most importantly about his weak jaw. In Punch-Out!! featuring Mr. Dream, he even commonly asks if he has time to take a nap before the fight and is eager to retire. In the Punch

-Out!! (Wii), Glass Joe is a lot more energetic than in his previous appearances. While he still sometimes complains about his pain between rounds, he tries to gain the audience's cheering and even lightly taunts Little Mac. He seems to have a passion for baguettes, croissants, and coffee, as seen in his intro.

Glass Joe and Gabby Jay are very similar to each other, which could be explained by the fact that Glass Joe was Gabby Jay's boxing instructor. They are weak and even have the same boxing record of 1-99, with Glass Joe's only victory being against Nick Bruiser and Gabby Jay's against Glass Joe. Also, they both have the initials "G.J." Gabby Jay & Glass Joe also weigh the same (110 lbs), are from Pa

The Official Nintendo Magazine claims Glass Joe defeated Nick Bruiser. However, Nick Bruiser has an undefeated 42-0 record. Though it is possible, as Super Punch Out SNES was 1994, Nick could have lost to Joe after Super Punch Out 1994.

Little Mac can actually obtain a protective headgear similar to Glass Joe's by suffering 100 defeats, much as Glass Joe did when he got his own. Glass Joe gaining his headgear possibly hints at this being part of the WVBA's regulations.

Ironically, Glass Joe can be knocked down 5 times in both Contender mode and Title defense, as opposed to Von Kaiser to Don Flamenco (King Hippo doesn't count, as he can never be knocked down), who can only get knocked down 4 times in Contender mode, then 5 times in Title Defense. Apparently, as Doc Louis says, he can take a whoopin'.

Also ironic is the fact that Glass Joe is tied with Gabby Jay as most experienced fighter, edging out Mr. Dream by 1 fight. Little Mac, however, can pass this record in the Wii version of Punch Out.

Even more ironic is that 50 jabs will automatically defeat Glass Joe in Title Defense, yet in Contender mode, he can endure even more than 100. It's possible that his head has recieved so much damage after his first fight with Little Mac that it barely withstand any more, let alone 50 jabs. This is probably because you NEED to uppercut him to knock off the headgear, doing damage.

At full health, without ever finishing a stun or countering, he can take up to 34 punches.

Of all the World Records on Punch-Out!! Wii, Glass Joe is the only one that utilizes a glitch that stops time during the taunt, by throwing a left hook at a specific time.
