Game Description

In Shanghai Kid, you play a Shaolin monk that travels to America to enter various fighting tournaments.

The game is a one on one versus fighter. In order to win, you must use your punch and kicks, along with joystick combinations, to attack specific points on the enemy; if you try attacking the wrong point, your attack may be blocked, or countered with an even stronger attack that can damage you heavily. The same applies to your enemy; you can counter their attacks with a strong blow, or by throwing them over your shoulder.

As you fight, a power meter will fill up. Once it flashes, you will be able to perform a flying super kick that will cause massive damage if it connects. Keep in mind that if you miss, you'll be left open to a counter attack. You can also enter a rush mode where you can unleash a flurry of less powerful attacks on your opponent for a few seconds. And finally, if you try to attack an enemy without him being in range, you'll lose a tiny sliver of health.

Your opponents include a rival Shaolin fighter, a boxer, a Muay Thai fighter, and a Karate master; until you reach your final opponent, a wrestler.
