Kung Fu Kid, titled in Japan, is a beat 'em up video game released for the Master System in 1987. It is the follow-up to Dragon Wang for the SG-1000. Kung Fu Kid was published in Brazil by Tectoy as Sapo Xulé O Mestre do Kung Fu; as in Psycho Fox and Astro Warrior, the main character is replaced by cartoon frog Sapo Xulé.

Gameplay

Players control Wang as he faces an onslaught of enemies using his martial arts skills and wall jumping technique.

Reception

Computer Gaming World criticized Kung Fu Kids "incredibly contrived play-mechanics" (including a lobster that would give the player extra powers) and the "tiny and cartoon-like" graphics, and mocked the Engrish documentation that stated that the player would fight "the unnaturally evil one".[1]
