Kung-Fu Master/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Trivia about Kung-Fu Master includes:

  • Divorced Installment: The original Japanese version was a licensed game of Jackie Chan's Wheels on Meals (Spartan X being the film's Japanese title), whereas the overseas version is a stand alone game. The game was quite literally In Name Only to the point where all they had to do to divorce the game from the license was to change the title.
  • Fan Translation: For Spartan X 2.
  • Name's the Same: The protagonist of Spartan X 2 is called Jonny Spartan, just like the Demolition Man himself.
  • No Export for You: Irem planned on releasing Spartan X 2 in North America under the title of Kung-Fu II, but for some reason they canceled the game in the last minute. Ads were still printed though, and Nintendo Power even published a brief review of the game.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Supposedly, beating the original game 24 times in a row (the number equivalent to "X") would turn Sylvia into a True Final Boss. This has been confirmed to be a hoax thanks to the magic of save states and ROM hacking (Sylvia has no fighting animation).
