The Karate Kid Overview
The Karate Kid for the NES adapts the 1986 film's narrative, casting the player as Daniel LaRusso. His journey progresses through a series of stages culminating in a final confrontation in Okinawa against the antagonist Chozen.
Gameplay shifts between different formats, including one-on-one fighting segments and platform-style action sequences. These are interspersed with special bonus stages designed to assess the player's skill. A separate two-player versus mode is also included, allowing for direct competitive matches.
