There is nothing to suggest that this DK has the same feats as the same as his original game, as this is the only thing connecting Punch Out!! to Super Mario. Regardless, this would be a major outlier for Mac.

Smash still isn't canon. The stuff pulled from the games are, sure, but that doesn't mean the things that Smash makes up are. Regardless, again, Little Mac has shown in Smash itself that his fire abilities come from concentration, and aren't from "punching fast enough to ignite the oxygen."
