Released: 1987
Kung Fu Kid is a side-scrolling beat-em-up and the sequel to Dragon Wang (1985, Sega SG-1000).
+ Level design is good and has a nice mixture of multi-layered platforms and maze-like elements to keep you engaged.+ Learning and recognising enemy attack patterns is terrific fun, and as you advance the action has a great rhythmic quality.
+ Wall jumping is a valuable ability that opens up the stages and allows you to slickly dodge incoming attacks.
+ Your talisman special weapon is a handy projectile for sticky situations, as it can plough through multiple foes.
+ Boss rush mode in Round 6 is awesome, as each enemy is unique rather than rehashing earlier opponents.
- Like Karate Kid (1987, NES), you can abuse the sprite limit and trail enemies behind you for an easy path to the boss.
- Jump and attack buttons are reversed which frequently causes confusion, particularly in the moments after a lost life.
