Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a martial arts action-adventure game where players control Tai, the last Tiger, on a quest to master various Kung-Fu styles from different animal clans. Tai must defeat the evil Dragon Master and his allies, who seek to dominate the land and its Chi power. The gameplay involves battling enemies, learning new moves from masters, and progressing through diverse environments.
Story
Unmatched Strength
Each master had unique strengths and weaknesses. Combining and mastering different styles creates unmatched strength, with no limit to spiritual growth and physical power.
Masters were required to prove themselves by conquering a test of skills known only as the Shadow Gauntlet.
The Clans
Dragon Clan
The Dragons were once proud and mighty, feared for their power and magic. Infighting caused their destruction, leaving the Dragon Master as the sole survivor.
This old and shrewd creature's thirst for power fuels his ambition to destroy other Clans and assume power. With his army of Snake warriors, the Dragon Master attempts to build a new Dragon Clan using the Chi Power of his defeated foes. His evil plans rely on the secrets of Kung-Fu locked within the Forbidden Palace he now calls home.
Snake Clan
Despised for their guile and deception, the Snakes were seduced by the offer of newfound power at the Dragon Master's side. They have assumed the role of his serpent army, using stealth and lethal fighting skills to keep other Clans under the Dragon's heel.
The Snakes aspire one day to be elevated to the level of Dragon by the Master's evil magic.
Mantis Clan
From the Praying Mantis came patience and discipline. This mystical Clan of warriors perished in the fight against the Dragon and the Snakes.
Only SiFu, their wise master, remains to watch over the next generation of Mantis deep within their cavern home. Ghosts of the Dragon's victims are rumored to haunt the underground waterways of the Mantis Caves.
Leopard Clan
The Leopards are fierce warriors of the jungle known for their speed and incredible leaping abilities. They view a battle as an opportunity to prove their courage.
Leopards prefer high perches that enable them to pounce down on enemies. The Leopards fought so hard against the Dragon Master and his minions that their clan has been nearly wiped out.
Monkey Clan
With their acrobatics and mischievous antics, the Monkeys make everyone laugh. The Monkey's humor allowed them never to be taken seriously enough to be considered a threat, and they were spared for the Dragon's further amusement.
Being social animals, Monkeys love to drink and have parties. Their strength lies in their speed and flexibility, which allows them to travel very quickly through the trees.
Crane Clan
In the Cranes there was beauty and spirit. Freedom was the price of their vanity as their Master was captured by the Dragon and given as a prize to the Rat Pirate.
The Cranes' wisdom lies in accomplishments in the arts and their physical grace and agility.
Panda Clan
The Pandas are highly regarded teachers and scholars and the most peaceful of the clans. Unselfish and gentle, the Pandas live a very simple life aspiring only to attain wisdom and knowledge.
Their Kung-Fu is purely defensive in nature, using the attacker's own energy against him.
Boar Clan
The Boars have a history of being bullies, often working as bounty hunters or hired soldiers. They have formed an alliance with the Dragon Master to terrorize the remaining clans.
Boars revel in fighting, eating, and getting rich. Their unabashed greed and crudeness is empowered by their brute strength and strong armor.
Rat Clan
Rats are dirty scoundrels, thieves, and pirates. They horde anything that is valuable and live in filth. They attack mainly in packs due to their minimal size and strength.
They almost seem to resent the nobility of other creatures and therefore are willing subordinates in the Dragon Master's quest for domination, for a price, of course.
Tiger Clan
The other clans rallied to the strength and wisdom of the Tiger, whose prestige and influence spurred the Dragon's demand for their extinction. Feared by the Dragon as his greatest enemy, they were all hunted down and destroyed.
Leopard Lookout/Boss
Tai encounters the remnants of the once-feared Leopard Clan. They have always been jealous of the mythical Tigers, yet they instinctively know that Tai is somehow crucial to their survival.
Tai must prove himself against Lotus Princess in the difficult arena of the Lookout. The Leopard Master and Lotus teach Tai the Leopard style.

INITIATION
It has been many long years since the Great Struggle when the Dragon Master ravaged the world of ancient China. This mystical land of bamboo and lotus had for generations known secrets of spirit and energy.
It was populated by many Clans, extended families living with one another. The Clans lived in harmony, each valued by the others for its wisdom, respected for its strengths, and forgiven for its weaknesses. Many of the Clans had developed styles of Kung-Fu, an ancient martial art of mental skill and physical dexterity used for defense and to promote agility. Each style of Kung-Fu established by the Clans.

Enemies & Characters
T'ai Fu
Orphaned as an infant, T'ai Fu was raised by the gentle Panda clan, learning physical arts and developing a strong sense of responsibility. He is a talented but undisciplined Kung-Fu student, embodying resourcefulness, tireless endurance, and an unyielding will to win.
Lo Ping, the Panda Monk
Lo Ping has been T'ai's gentle mentor, responsible for his mental and physical training, encouraging him to find his place and fulfill his destiny.
SiFu, the Mantis Master
A legendary figure with mystical powers, SiFu offers wisdom and knowledge of Clan history to T'ai, teaching him to use the powerful strength of chi to augment his fighting skills.
Leopard Master
A warrior king who thinks before fighting, the Leopard Master is willing to give T'ai a chance due to his resemblance to the Tiger Master.
Lotus, the Leopard Princess
Initially, Princess Lotus considers T'ai an insolent trespasser, accustomed to having her wishes obeyed as the feisty and arrogant daughter of the Leopard Clan Master.
Monkey Master
Often mistaken for a fool, the Monkey Master is a wise and discerning leader who uses his fun-loving and gregarious nature to trick others into underestimating him.
Rat Pirate
Well-fed and warm, the Rat Pirate lazily demands food, drink, and entertainment, happily serving the Dragon Master and gaining prestige for his clan.
Fei Liu, the Crane Master
Known for her artistic achievement and beauty, the Crane Master's looks have become a curse as she has been caged for the pleasure of the Rat Pirate.
Lau Fu, the Tiger Spirit
An ethereal creature that appears almost as though in a dream, the Tiger Spirit knows the whole truth about the Tiger Clan.
Dragon Master
The last of the Dragons, the Dragon Master is rebuilding his clan by turning Snakes into Dragon warriors, having conquered or enslaved many other clans. He possesses ancient knowledge of Chi and magic, becoming a powerful wizard by stealing the knowledge and power of other clans.
Striker Python
Often found resting, the Striker Python relies on a lightning-fast head strike and tail swipe as weapons once awakened.
Bruiser Python
The muscle-bound cousin to the Striker, the slower-moving Bruiser Python uses brute force to send opponents flying, with a dangerous Haymaker Combo and Knockdown Headbutt.
Leopard Guard
Leopard Guards defend their jungle fortress, risking a bone-crushing Leopard Pounce for opponents within range, and adopting an in-and-out boxing strategy with Leopard Style pressure strikes in close combat.
Leopard Captain
Elite watchmen of the Fortress, Leopard Captains are faster and stronger than Guards, devastating enemies with the deadly Leaping Slam Fist.
Cobra Archer
Only an agile opponent can dodge the rain of arrows fired by the Cobra Archer, who is eager to pummel prey with his Crossbow Combo.
Cobra Guard
The Dragon Master's personal guard, Cobra Guards are armed with a long-bladed staff and a short temper, making short work of opponents who don't dodge their Spinning Staff Combo.
Shock Viper
Lurking in underground caves, these amphibious snakes appear as a deadly water hazard but can do serious damage on solid ground with their high voltage Tongue Lash attack and Head Fin stomp.
Mantis Warrior
With the Mantis Master's power of Chi, these frozen statue warriors come to life to defend their lair from intruders.
Stealth Viper
Hidden in long shadows, the Stealth Viper surprises opponents with his Shadow Dance and Venom Blast attacks.
Monkey Guard
These mischief-making monkeys welcome visitors with a barrage of spiked fruit, then roll in for a Monkey Bounce attack.
Monkey Captain
Monkey Captains pack a punch, spinning in with a Clothesline Combo, landing a Monkey Flip Stomp, and thumping their chest with pride.
Crane Scout
The Crane Scouts are the first line of defense at the stilted harbor town. Hovering in from across the pier, the Scouts can cut any opponent open with their Slicing Wing combo.
Crane Captain
From afar or in close, the Crane Captain is both desirable and deadly. She can nail you with her Wing Blades from any distance. In close combat, she can block repeated attacks before countering with the Sweeping Wing Combo.
Boar Grunt
Protected by plated armor and a thick skin, the Boar Grunts wield their huge axes with lethal precision. When on a ledge above their opponents, their explosives also come in quite handy.
Boar Beast
Like a mad bull, the Boar Beast stampedes relentlessly at his target, aiming to skewer a fresh tiger on his sharp tusks and toss it overhead.
Cobra Captain
One of the Dragon Master's failed attempts to transform the snakes into dragons, the Cobra Captain is a terrible mutation. Powered by the element of lightning, these snakes can appear out of thin air and unleash a furious Pressure Point Combo.
