Shaquille O'Neal , aka "Shaq", is on his way to a charity game in Tokyo when he's pulled into an alternate dimension by a local man who thinks only Shaq can save his grandson. Once there, Shaq must fight 11 opponents one by one, with gameplay similar to Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat .
The game's graphics use rotoscoping techniques, which also appear in Flashback and Prince of Persia, to represent Shaq's massive 7'2" frame. In addition to the story mode, players can compete in individual fights, either with one or two players, but with at least one human player being Shaq himself. Shaq has a long jumping ability but struggles with blocking.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Shaq-Fu* is a 2D fighting game where players must stop the evil sorcerer Sett Ra and his shadowy minion, Beast, from conquering both Earth and the Second World. Taking on the role of martial arts fighters, players engage in one-on-one combat against a variety of mystical opponents to thwart the sorcerer's plans. By mastering special moves and defeating Sett Ra's forces, players work to seal the ancient evil away once again.
Story
The Story of Shaq-Fu
Long ago and far away, in a place called The Second World, there ruled the heartless sorcerer Sett Ra. His hunger for power still gnawed at him even though his dominance over the Second World was unchallenged; he longed to extend his grasp to the fair First World, Earth.
Sett Ra's plan was simple. He would destroy the Pharaoh of Egypt and usurp his throne. He created a perfect assassin from his own shadow who would serve him without question. This shadow became Beast, the mightiest and most loyal of all Sett Ra's minions. Beast destroyed the Pharaoh, and the disguised Sett Ra soon sat upon his throne.
The Pharaoh's Son
However, the Pharaoh's son Ahmet was not deceived. He brazenly confronted the powerful sorcerer, threatening to reveal him. Sett Ra called forth Beast from his shadowy other domain.
Ahmet barely escaped from the palace to the Great Desert, where his grandfather, Leotsu the Wise, dwelt as a monk and hermit. Leotsu and Ahmet united with a coven of powerful wizards from the lands beyond Egypt, and their combined power was able to send Sett Ra back to the Second World, comatose and imprisoned within a rune-encrusted pyramid.

How to Play
Story Mode
Select this mode to discover why Shaq is in this strange land and why he must fight these dangerous opponents. This mode allows for one player only, and you become Shaq. After you select STORY from the Game Setup screen, the story begins.
•
To page forward through the story, press A.
•
To go straight to the Second World and skip the story, press START. (If you don't do anything, the text scrolls forward automatically.)
Second World
Once the story ends, Shaq enters the Second World through a magical portal. He finds himself on an island with different opponents awaiting him. There are three levels he must pass through before he faces the final battle, and he cannot continue on to another level until he defeats all those on the first level.
Six opponents stand ready to end his journey. If he is defeated by any one of them, he can continue from where he left off three more times. After that, the game is over and he must begin again anew.
•
To select your first opponent, use the Control Pad to move Shaq around the island to the locations shown. The location's names appear on the screen when Shaq nears an entrance.
•
To enter the location and begin the match, press A or START when the location name appears.
•
To continue once you have been defeated, press A or START at the Continue screen before the countdown reaches 0.
Duels
Duels, which are best 2-out-of-3 contests, can be played by either 2 players "head to head" or by 1 player against the Super NES. It is possible for a character to fight a duel against him-or-herself, such as Shaq vs. Shaq. In such cases the characters will be different colors so you can tell them apart.
One Player Duels continue until you beat every character, or until you lose a best 2-out-of-three match. When you are defeated, you can continue three more times.
•
To continue once you have been defeated, press A or START at the Continue screen before the countdown reaches 0.
To Play a One Player Duel Round
•
1. Select DUEL from the Game Setup screen. The Duel Selection screen appears.
Handicapping a Two Player Duel
You can change the odds in a two player duel by adjusting the Handicapping meter that appears at the bottom of the screen. A yellow dot appears on the screen, placed in the center of a green line. Move the dot left or right to weaken or strengthen your own or your opponent's character.
•
To move the yellow dot to the right, press X. The farther the dot moves from a character, the stronger that character becomes; the closer the dot, the weaker the character.
•
To move the yellow dot to the left, press Y.
•
To change the background, press L or R.
Tournaments
In Tournament mode, two to eight competitors play an elimination tournament to determine who is champion of the two worlds. Two controllers must be used, and a minimum of three characters must be selected to begin the Tournament. In this mode, the Super NES does not fight; all characters are controlled by you and your friends.
Any combination of characters can be selected, including duplicates of the same character. Duplicate characters' costumes are colored differently so you can tell them apart.
