The gold Punch-Out!!
Special (HVC-PT-S), box, and manual were given
away as a prize for the Nintendo Famicom Golf
US competition. Nintendo released this
version of Punch-Out!! prior to any other
version. That may be why it has some differences,
including wording, color, and music variations. There also
isn't a final "dream bout" with Mr. Dream or Mike
Tyson; the game ends after you defeat Super Macho
Man.
For you
technical buffs, Punch-Out!! Special appears
to be the only Famicom game made with an NES chip
(marked NES-PT-0).
The number of these prizes awarded
was 10,000. Of those, 5,000 were given out to high
scorers, with the top 100 scorers taking home a
commemoration trophy as well. The remaining prizes
were given out in two raffles. If you got a
hole-in-one, you were put into a raffle for one of
1,000 prizes. The last 4,000 Punch-Outs were
raffled off to those who had a a 1, 4, 9, or 2 at
the end of their ranking.
