Important Note: This week's competition is over, and no further scores will be accepted. If you still wish to discuss Chuck Norris Superkicks and compare scores, feel free to do so.

You are "Chuck Norris" trying to reach an ancient monastery to rescue a famous leader that is being held hostage. BEWARE! Dangerous warriors lie in waiting to spoil your efforts to reach your goal. You begin your journey as a White Belt, the first belt in the sport of Karate. By defeating the attackers, scoring points, and learning new martial skills, you will earn each of the colored belts associated with the "Tang Soo Do" style of karate. You must achieve the highest rank of all, the Black Belt, in order to reach and enter the monastery which is guarded by the fearsome NINJA assassins.

(Note that scores from Kung Fu Superkicks are also acceptable, as the game is the same)

Hints and Tips

The Manual said:

As always, you really should read the manual.

What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, AtariAge has a typed copy of the manual online. Here are the hints it provides:

* You must practice in order to learn the timing of karate.

* When using the THRUST KICK, stand with your head slightly higher than the enemy, then pull down on the joystick and press the fire button.

* When using the PUNCH, stand with your head slightly lower than the enemy's shoulders, then push up on the joystick and press the fire button. It is easier to punch the enemies in the mid-section than in the head.

* When using the SOMERSAULT SUPERKICK, be sure to time your jump. You cannot defeat an enemy while in the middle of your SUPERKICK. You must complete the SUPERKICK, then kick the warrior.

* Use the SUPERKICK to jump over STARS which are thrown at you in the harder fight screens.

Just confirming - I have Kung Fu Superkicks by Telegames. Is this the same thing and can I use it in this week's contest?

Was my first score really that ponderous? :sad:

Now @ 69,100... getting more comfortable with keyboard controls.

I don't think you can kill 'em all. The more you kill, the shorter the duty cycle (tested with some "cheats").

BTW, my highest legitimate score is 115,700. I really dislike the stupid random tree.

Yeah that's about right.

You get a higher score, by once you find the right path before the ninjas, to keep refighting. After you kill enough to go on, just go down a little and back up. At 500 points a ninja and over 3 minutes to kill (I always go to the ninja room with less than 2 min to go), you get a much higher score.

Now, only if I can kill em all every time without getting hit... then I'd get over 200k easily, and a lot closer to Todd's score.

Does anyone know what country that flag in the background is on the one level? Kinda looks like Belgium to me. :?
