Fist of the North Star (NES video game)
"Fist of the North Star" is a single-plane beat-'em-up in which the player (as Kenshiro) proceeds through the game by walking from left to right, using his martial arts of Hokuto Shinken to defeat enemies. Similarly to "Kung-Fu Master", jumping is performed by pressing the d-pad upwards instead of having a dedicated button, leaving the A and B buttons solely for attacks. To enter a door, the player must press the d-pad right while holding A and B simultaneously, which is a requirement to proceed through certain stages. In addition to the regular enemies, the player must also defeat sub-bosses and bosses to proceed in the game. Each boss in the game has a weak point that will result in massive damage if the player strikes it with the proper attack before hitting any other part of the body, along with a greater bonus after the stage is cleared.
List of Fist of the Blue Sky characters
The are three martial arts styles that branched off from "Hokuto Shinken" during the Three Kingdoms period and went on to develop their styles independently after the main "Hokuto Shinken" school was relocated to Japan. They are named after the Cao, Sun and Liu families, which they were each sworn to protect and serve. The Liu Family Fist would later branched off from the other school and become the "Hokuto Ryūken" school from "Fist of the North Star".
