Black Belt is a side-scrolling beat-em-up that's exclusive to the Sega Master System.
+ Encourages full use of your attack arsenal, as each boss has a weak point that must be identified for maximum damage.
- However, the action suffers from extreme repetition and is too derivative of Kung-Fu Master (1984, Arcade).
- Damage is unavoidable when enemy sprites overlap, as you can only hit one bad guy at a time, leaving you vulnerable.
- Poor collision detection (especially during boss fights) and your attacks can have no effect despite making clear contact.
- Would have benefited from a smoother difficulty curve, as even the first boss is hard as nails and there's no continues.
- Using the d-pad to jump leads to many accidental leaps, and having to press Down then Up for a high jump is cumbersome.
