DeceasedCrab plays Karate Kid - Part 1 of 2

Wax on. Wax off. Wax on. Wax off. Oh, screw this.

Level 1

This is so easy. Just keep pressing the B button to kick just like you will during the rest of the game, because using the A button to punch is useless because it gets you killed every time. Yes, the punch has no range and it really sucks. I get hit every time I use it, that's how I know. So don't use it. Ever.

If you hold Left or Right when you press B, you won't use your Crane Kicks. Ditto with your Drum Punches when you hold Left or Right while pressing A.

All you have to do in Level 1 is to stand there and kick them when they get close. Congratulations, you just won the tournament from the first movie.

I swear to God, this is one of the worst games I have probably ever done a walkthrough for. I only made this because Ralph Macchio appeared on Dancing With The Stars at the time, so I might as well get the rest of this game out of the way.

Level 2

This level begins the story arc of the second movie. This one is pretty straightforward. Just run right and kick people. If you press Up in front of certain doorways, you'll enter bonus stages where you earn points and extra special attacks. At least the Drum Punches actually freakin' work.

If, for some reason, you find either the girl or Mr. Miyagi floating in mid-air during this or the next stage, touch them to refill your life. They'll refill more of it than the Crane Kick power-ups you see popping up throughout the stages will.

You can only have two enemies on screen at any time. If you can get them both behind you and have them follow you around successfully, you can get through parts of the stages without having to fight any enemies.

You'll fight Chozen at the end. If you have any Crane Kicks, use them on him. They'll do hellacious damage on him and end the stage rather quickly.

Level 3

In this stage, the storm winds blow you back. Birds and twigs that fly through the stage do damage if they hit, but you can get extra points from hitting the birds.

Once again, if you can get two enemies behind you, this stage can become a lot easier.

When you reach the end, you may fight Chozen again. He's just as easy, but if you can just go up the ladder and touch the girl, you can skip that entirely.
