Karate Champ: Player vs Player

Overview

Karate Champ — Player vs Player is distinguished from the initial Karate Champ by the addition of a player versus player mode. This version of the game also added new backgrounds, new bonus games, a female character that cheers the player on, and different, clearer voices.

Player vs Player has the characters fighting it out over girls in twelve different locations around the world (similar to the later SNK's Street Smart). A scene runs as a best out of three rounds competition for one girl. After every competition, the player has a chance to earn bonus points by evading a series of potted plants flying at the player, kicking through a series of boards and stopping a charging bull. The locations of the game are: A harbor, a garden with a view of Mount Fuji, a bamboo forest, on a tree trunk over a chasm, on the stern of a Japanese registered ship, on the side of a road or runway, Holland with windmills, a big city, a North American desert with Indian tipis, a Japanese garden, a dojo, and finally a forest path at night. Afterwards, the game returns to the first scene.
