13 | ---- |
14 | !!Tropes: |
15 | * AbnormalAmmo: Late into the game, Lee Wong can collect a scepter which fires ''flying tiger heads''. |
16 | * AgeLift: The PC-Engine game changes Ryuken into an [[EvilOldFolks old man]]. |
17 | * AllMonksKnowKungFu: Lee Wong is an asskicking Shaolin Monk. Some of the enemies are rogue monks who can fight as well. |
18 | * BaldOfEvil: In contrast to Lee, the bosses of the fourth stage, called Broth, have no hair covering the tops of their heads and are two of Ryuken's cronies. |
19 | * BatOutOfHell: Giant red-and-black bats are an enemy that flocks all over Lee Wong in a few areas. |
20 | * BigBad: Ryuken is the main antagonist of the game and his goal is to kidnap children and make them into his own soldiers. |
21 | * ChineseVampire: These creatures appear as enemies as one point. |
22 | * DualBoss: The boss of the fourth stage, Broth, is a pair of DualWielding swordsmen that can stack on top of each other as part of their attacks. The last two sub-bosses you face in the game consists of two men who function as Ryuken's bodyguards. |
23 | * EpicFlail: Lee Wong's base weapon is an axe on a chain. He can also gain a spiked ball. |
24 | * GiantSpider: Another recurring enemy type, arachnids as large as humans who will crawl all over the place in an attempt to overwhelm Lee Wong. |
25 | * TheGreatSerpent: Giant, fire-breathing snake monsters infests the underground levels. |
26 | * KiManipulation: Lee Wong's ultimate attack is Tora Ki Koh, which fires out a tiger-shaped blast of ki. Of course, it's not available at the beginning of the game. |
27 | * KiteRiding: One of the AirborneMook variety, ninjas riding on kites which assails Lee Wong as he's near a waterfall. |
28 | * MultiMeleeMaster: Lee Wong can fight with all kinds of weapons, including his [[GoodOldFisticuffs fists]], heavy axes, massive spears, [[EpicFlail flails and morning stars]] and numerous other weapons. |
29 | * PaletteSwap: The last two sub-bosses that you meet before you face off against Ryuken are merely palette swaps of the first boss, Fudo. |
30 | * PoisonMushroom: You regain health from gourds. Some gourds cost you health instead of restoring it; these can be identified by one feature — they're upside-down. |
31 | * RedshirtArmy: Done almost to the point of parody. In the intro, some {{Mooks}} kidnap the villagers, then a single mook stays behind and slaughters the entire city guard. |
32 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Wong Lee has no sleeves and is tasked to fight Ryuken's forces in order to save the children. |
33 | * {{Tagline}}: "Become a Tiger for the Win!" |
34 | * TigerVersusDragon: The HotBlooded monk hero can learn to shoot tiger-shaped fireballs, the Big Bad, Ryuken, shoots dragon-shaped fireballs. |
35 | * UnintentionallyUnwinnable: The UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum port is so bad that Your Sinclair took the manufacturers to court over selling goods of unmerchantable quality. The judge ordered the software company to release a version with the bug fixed. This was only after Your Sinclair tried to use an infinite lives cheat to complete the game - and found out that, at one point, you either get hit by a bullet or fall down a hole. (Many players got around this by rewriting the code.) |
36 | * YouFool: One of the two bosses of the fourth stage scream this prior to the fight. |
