I now think that a one life contest would have been a better idea unless you really get a thrill from kicking dragons and jumping over snakes. Oh well, you live you learn.

You shouldn't be jumping over the snakes

Solid score to start the contest

The point pressing becomes so much more difficult after stage 2. The game tries to thwart getting the bonus at that point. When the 12th guy is three midgets and a knife thrower there's not much you can do.

I have a real hard time consistently getting the 12th man. It's almost always a knife guy. Score updated. Most likely my last run at it. 

if the 12th man is a knife thrower run at them until they retreat and hope a gripper pops up in the other direction

probably the most rare and unheard biggie verse

Bone thugs at the end, Onyx not on the song

YouTube always has what you need

I have told this story before in the past contests but kung-fu is one of the most special NES games to me. It was the first Nintendo game I ever played on a M8 demo unit inside jc penny in the Monmouth Mall. I knew Kung Fu master from the arcade and couldn't believe how good this game looked because at the time I was playing Atari 2600. No one even knew what Nintendo was yet it had to be right after launch

I'm to the point now that when I kick a dragon ball in the air before it lands I'm resetting the game

I hit them with the sweep right at the floor and have gotten all three different scores

The question I have is this... Is the scoring on the snakes completely random?? I have hit then with every move possible and it always varies between 100-400. But always random no matter what attach you use

I'd be surprised if 550k was even possible. 

I agree 

I got lucky and carried the 5K bonus through the boss on level 3 and far along on level 5 , I was very fortunate with my level 2 points and slaughtered everything moving... there may be another little bit of points left for extra health bonuses but i think 600K isn't attainable... What do you think @Bearcat-Doug

The main issue is that he can just randomly throw a fireball down at you while you're ducking in front of him to attack. It's BS.

Yes it is !!

Congrats on 500K @Bearcat-Doug. I'm going to have to get jump kicking this weekend

was super mario bros. on the poster that came with the deluxe set ? ( after research i see that it was ) If i recall super mario was available sometime in the spring or summer after launch which was why it was packed in with the action sets not the deluxe sets.... Please someone correct me if im wrong this is all off the top of the head

Im also pretty sure there werent any SMB guidebooks at launch either that would have been something marketed after the system took off .

@TWarwick07 is the reigning champ tho right?

I believe there was a contest after I won but I didn't participate that year so I was never beaten for the title

That Kung Fu contest was one of the greatest weekly contests ever. I think three or four people rolled the score that year

Thanks Buddy, but you had Mr. X lower on the health than i did
