K.O. will occasionally be required to fight Boxmore's robots in side-scrolling beat 'em up sequences, they can also be accessed anytime in a Boxmore branded box found in spots in the plaza.
K.O.'s power moves consist of uppercuts, punch combos, low kicks, etc. Throughout constant battling K.O. will fill up the Powie Zowie meter which will allow him to call a hero on any obtained POW card for assistants in battle. K.O. can hold two POW cards during each battle. At the end of every battle a piñata in the likeness of Lord Boxman drops down, breaking it will drop stat boosters.
