* Sturgeon's Law: This game could've been better if more thought and effort was put into its design. Such as lessening the difficulty, changing the controls, and making it longer.
* Super Drowning Skills: Everyone dies instantly when they end up in the water. Made worse by dramatic knockback.
* Too Dumb to Live: Chozen's goons will jump and walk into the water just to try and get to you.
* When All Else Fails Go Right
* A Winner Is You: All you get after completing this game is a screen where Mr. Miyagi tells you that you've become a martial arts master and gives you a wink.
* Zero Effort Boss: The boss of Stage 3 is a little girl stuck on the bell tower. Rescue her to complete the level.
* If you don't rescue the little girl immediately, Chozen and his goons will show up and constantly attack you until you do the good deed.
