Super Kungfu - Master Yie Ar

Master Yie Ar Kung-Fu features the protagonist who is a Bruce Lee-based Kung Fu master named Oolong, controlled by the player. Oolong must fight all the martial arts masters given by the game (11 in the arcade version; five to 13 in the home ports) to win the title of "Grand Master" and honor the memory of his father. On his side is a variety of punch and kick blows reachable by combining the joystick with one of the buttons (punch or kick). He also has the greatest jumping ability of all the game's fighters, with the exception of "Blues". The player faces a variety of opponents, each with a unique appearance and fighting style. The player can perform up to 16 different moves, using a combination of buttons and joystick movements while standing, crouching or jumping.Moves are thrown at high, middle, and low levels. Regardless of the move that defeated them, male characters (save Feedle) always fall unconscious lying on their backs with their legs apart (players flail their feet), and female characters always fall lying on their sides. Feedle disappears. When a player gains an extra life, the word "xiè xiè" (Mandarin for "thank you") is heard. => The martial arts masters are listed below (in fight order): * Buchu: Buchu, modelled after uses a leaping motion to fly over Oolong, and as a middle level attack against him. Buchu may be big and powerful, but he's also slow. Much like Oolong, Buchu does not use weapons to fight. He is the first opponent in the first gauntlet and when he gets hit in the crotch, his eyes bug out and the game says "nǐ hǎo" (which is Mandarin for "hi" or "hello"). * Star: The first female opponent Oolong faces. Star is a young girl in a pink outfit who throws shuriken at all levels, and uses fast punches and kicks, Star bares resemblance to Taiwanese martial arts-actress Angela Mao. * Feedle: Feedle is basically an endurance test for Oolong. Numerous enemies (or the same enemy who can replicate himself) attack from both sides of Oolong, punching high and low. In some ports, like the Commodore 64 one, he/they are absent. * Club: Club is another large man who attacks Oolong. Club swings a giant spiked club (chúi) and bears a shield on his right arm to block Oolong's attacks at middle level. * Fan: Fan is another female warrior who wears a cheongsam and is more feminine than Star. Fan throws steel fans at Oolong like shuriken and kicks very swiftly. The fans fall in a feather-like pattern. * Tonfun: Tonfun is the final opponent Oolong must face before meeting his ultimate challenger, Blues. Tonfun attacks with two tonfa and fast-paced martial arts. Blues: Blues is almost a mirror image of Oolong without a shirt on and can match him move for move. Oolong has to find some weakness on Blues to win. Since none of his clothes are blue, Blues is modeled after Bruce Lee with his name being another reference to the martial arts-actor, based on his first name's pronunciation when said by a Japanese speaker. When Blues is defeated, Oolong is the winner and the game begins again with Buchu (in the BBC Micro version, Blues is replaced by a second round with Feedle). => The hero is called Lee and faces only five opponents: * Wang: Armed with a pole. Unlike Pole, he doesn't use his pole to gain momentum. * Tao: Throws all fireballs in the same way as Star and Both the same of the Attacks. * Chen: This port's version of Chain. After Chen's defeat, there is a bonus round where the hero must hit objects thrown the 3 Shots at him to score points. * Lang: This port's version of Star, but with quicker shots and moves. Wu/Mu: Called Wu in the MSX and Mu in the NES, he is similar to Buchu (though Mu is white and seems bearded, while Buchu is black and has a shaven face). While Once he is defeated, the challenge starts again with Wang. * Shawn: This port's version of Sword, he is the Hidden Character, This is Going to the High Stages (Stage 500) he a Skilled Warrior and witness his insane Fastest Attacks.
