Before Playing FAQ
What makes Kung-Fu Master historically important?
As one of the earliest known examples of the scrolling beat 'em up genre, its multi-floor structure and crowd-control gameplay inspired the core mechanics for later foundational titles released later such as Renegade, Double Dragon and Final Fight throughout the late 80s and early 90s. It perfectly illustrates the transition from single-screen vs. style games (like Karate Champ) and platform style action into full side-view scrolling action games.
How many floors are in the game, and what are the bosses?
There are five enemy floors, each ending in a guardian boss encounter. The temple floors increase in difficulty through to enemies like the club-wielding Green Ogres, and then through various guardians; the game culminates by ascending the fifth and final tower floor and its confrontation with the great wizard Gondo.
Are there any continues in the original cartridge version?
No. There were no default infinite continues at that time on most home-carts; you will get the maximum two lives initially for each credit (though extras are earned by scoring). This means learning enemy patterns, spacing in the temple and your attack windows is essential for beating the game.
