In the fight screen, you face three enemies, one at a time, who run back and forth and throw shuriken. If an enemy hits you, he knocks you down, and you become a sitting duck for a shuriken. If a shuriken hits you, you lose time and are sent back to the start of the path. You have three moves: punch, kick, and block. These enemies block the upper part of their body, so you defeat them by kicking. The block can protect you from shuriken.

* {{Wutai}}: The game is set in the present day in what must be a very old-fashioned part of rural Japan.

* [[FuumaShuriken Shuriken]]: One-pixel throwing stars, thrown at you by the bad guys. They don't kill you, but they cost you time.

* InescapableAmbush: No matter which of the two or three paths you take, you'll be ambushed and taken to a fight screen.

* DownerEnding / NoEnding: Rather than rescuing your target, you always lose to a bunch of ninjas right before reaching them.

Having made it past mooks and fallen trees, you get to another check point. This time, in addition to your belt and minute, you get [[JustForFun/SyndicateQuestersUnitedAgainstDeviousness a]] new move, the Somersault Superkick. This move replaces the block, and works against enemies regardless of how they're blocking. Which is good, because enemies are going to start blocking either high or low.

You play ChuckNorris, on his way to rescue [[TheGhost somebody]] from a monastery in [[{{Wutai}} Japan]]. Chuck has [[TimedMission six minutes]] to get to the monastery. The game begins in a vertically scrolling overworld, with two paths and grass. If you step into the grass, you lose time at a much faster rate. As you walk down either path, you are ambushed by {{Mooks}}, and taken to the fight screen.

* ChuckNorris: Until the license expired. Then it was renamed ''Kung Fu Superkicks''.
