Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu

Gameplay

The player controls Jackie Chan, who brawls against many enemies during his quest to save his sister. The game is played through five levels, each with a boss at the end. Throughout the game, the player encounters frogs that carry power-ups or rice bowls, which restore health; the frogs must be hit to obtain the item. Power-ups allow a special type of attack over a limited number of times, and the player can carry only one power-up at a time. Jackie can also charge a special beam-like attack, usable up to five times. Most defeated enemies drop green orbs, but enemies killed by beam attacks drop none. Collecting 30 orbs replenishes life and restores the five charged shots. If the player dies, all orbs and power-ups are lost. The player has only one life but may continue up to five times initially. Extra continues can be earned through bonus stages triggered by bells in the levels, which transport Jackie to stages with a 30-second time limit, usually involving jumping on clouds or hitting statues to earn points. At the end of 30 seconds, points are tallied and may be used to buy extra lives and special attacks.
