Item Condition

What you're getting is the cartridge itself, without a box or manual — a solid way to add this uncommon title to your collection or finally track down a copy you've been hunting for. Coolection has tested this one and it was playing just as it should. Please refer to the provided photos for the exact details of the item's condition.

Item Description

Most NES heroes carry a sword, a gun or a whip. Thonolan fights with his feet. In Kick Master, the witch Belzed has kidnapped Princess Silphee, and when Thonolan's brother Macren, a knight, is mortally wounded early in the fight, the young martial artist takes up the quest with nothing but his kicks and a growing command of magic.

That single-minded premise turns out to be the game's greatest strength. Thonolan gains experience as he fights, and every new level raises his maximum magic points and teaches him new kicking techniques, so the moveset you finish with looks very different from the one you start with. Spells round out his arsenal, and defeated enemies drop items that can either help or hurt him, which turns every fallen foe into a small gamble: grab the drop and hope it's the good one, or leave it and play safe. Eight destinations stand between Thonolan and Belzed, each capped with a boss that tests how well you've learned your growing toolkit.

Developed by KID and published by Taito in 1992, Kick Master arrived late in the NES era, and it shows in the confidence of its sprite work and the way it blends side-scrolling action with light role-playing progression. It also has an unusual sting in its tail: there are three difficulty levels, and the credits only roll after you've conquered the third, so finishing the game properly is a real commitment. GamePro gave it a strong review at release, and players who discover it now tend to wonder why it isn't better known.

Kick Master sits in that rewarding corner of the late NES library where developers had mastered the hardware and were willing to try something unusual with it. A martial-arts action game built entirely around kicks, with character growth layered on top, makes for a cartridge that plays like nothing else on the shelf.
