INTRODUCTION
==============
".... the trees represent power, and the heroes
represent stupid actors who never listen to me!!"
Welcome to my THIRD FAQ. I am writing this because I
love Kung-Fu Chaos, and I think its a highly
underappreciated game. Unlike most party games, this
one has an actual single player mode that's fun to
play. Top this off with an excellent multiplayer, and
you have one of the best games out for the X-Box
system.
If you have any questions or comments, or if you would
like to contribute, just email me at

list for spammers, and don't ask me how to save to a
memory card, I don't know how.

Attack
BASIC SYSTEM:
Taunting:
When you knock someone down, often they will be dizzy
for a brief moment (represented by stars circling
around their head). When this happens, hit L for a
taunt. Your character will say something mockingly,
and foul language will animate from its mouth, hitting
the opponent. If the taunt is successful, a small star
will float above your character. When you have three
small stars, you will also start to glow. This means
you have your special attack. Caution: If you are
knocked down and taunted while you have a star, the
taunter will steal your star. You can also taunt a
person if you throw them off stage.
Throwing:
Hit B Button to knock someone down. They will be dizzy
briefly. Hit B near the opponent to pick them up, and
your character will raise them above your head. You
can then throw them like an object. You can throw them
at other characters, into a Stage Hazard, or off
camera. This is the fastest way to get rid of most
characters.
Combos:
One combo usually kills off generic Ninja. Other Ninja
may need to be dizzied and thrown, or require a
special combo to defeat. Learn the differences between
the ninja and combo accordingly.
Unblockables:
They have a huge wind-up and are easy to see coming.
If they hit, the target is usually dizzied. This is
often the only attack that can effect some ninja.
Spin Attack:
Unblockable, but not very damaging. Used to push away
groups of enemies.
Special Attacks:
Your first impulse is just to use it as soon as you
have it. In 90% of the game, this is fine. On some
Ninja Challenge stages, you should hold off on using
your special. See the notes on each stage to see when
to use it.
=====================
CHARACTERS OF CAST
=====================
"Lucy! You try to save some stuntmen for next scene,
okay?"
CHARACTERS PLAY YOU
Master Sho Yu (master shows you)
"I laugh at you with bad breath!"
Weapon: Uses his hands
Special Weapon: Fireballs erupt from his head and
slowly start drifting to an enemy. They speed up as
time passes. It is possible to dodge these attacks,
but that depends on the speed the stage is travelling,
and it's highly unlikely.
Primary Outfit: Yellow Sifu suit with Blue hat
Secondary Outfit: Pinstripe Powder Blue Sifu pajamas
with matching hat.
Notes: Being the oldest and possibly most experienced
character, Master Sho Yu is a parody of every Kung-Fu
sifu in every Hong Kong action movie you can think of.
His taunts are also the best example of HK-inspired
terrible dialog you can think of. An all around good
character.
Ninja Fu Hiya (ninja for hire)
"Ninjaronimo!"
Weapon: Dual knives
Special Weapon: Defies gravity and shoots ninja stars.
This attack must be aimed and is a ranged attack. Very
fast and hard to dodge.
Primary Outfit: Blue Ninja suit
Secondary Outfit: Pink Bunny suit with White Tu-Tu
Notes: Possibly the most popular character, ninja is a
parody of every ninja you will ever see. Some Ninja in
the game use his moveset. In Hong Kong movies, ninja
were usually typecast as bad guys.
Xui Tan Sour (Sweet and Sour)
"You are the child of a thousand bastard fathers!"
Weapon: Bladed Fans
Special Attack: Blades spin around her like a wall and
go slowly outward. Not possible to dodge.
Primary Outfit: Purple Bodysuit
Secondary outfit: Orange skin tight suit.
Notes: A parody of the 'fighting female' sub-genre of
HK action films. A tribute to Michelle Yeoh and Jade
Leung, as well as a few others. Has a unique way of
standing up, and a good character choice.
Monkey (Monkey God)
"Make a monkey outta you!"
Weapon: Magic Staff
Special Attack: Hops around on staff like pogo stick.
Whatever he touches dies. Must be controlled. Not
possible to Dodge.
Primary Outfit: Green Shirt, red stick, Bad Afro
Secondary Outfit: Clown outfit, orange stick, Clown
Wig.
Notes: The monkey god of China is a mythical hero,
similar to Paul Bunyan and Ox. He was also the god of
mischief. Look for a game called Monkey Magic for PSX
that references this character. Good range with
attacks when he uses his stick.
Chop&Styx (Chop Sticks)
"I bring you dismemberment!"
Weapon: Sword
Special Attack: Chop covers his ears while Styx
screams. They are surrounded by a warping effect, and
anything in the radius of the attack gets killed. Chop
can move around while this happens. This can be
dodged, but it's hard.
Primary Outfit: Samurai Suit
Secondary Outfit: Black Kilt
Notes: A parody of Lone Wolf and Cub, a Japanese comic
book character that is a travelling samurai with a
baby. An overall good character with medium range.
Funniest special in the game.
Lucy Cannon (Loose Cannon)
"Have a Blast, Sucka!"
Weapon: Single barreled shotgun
Special Attack: Lucy starts firing off shots in
succession that insta-kill. This must be aimed. This
is the easiest special to dodge, which means you might
escape it once.
Primary Outfit: White Mini-Skirt Outfit with White Fur
Coat, Sunglasses
Secondary Outfit: Brown Lingerie Outfit with Brown Fur
Coat, black Sunglasses
Notes: A tribute/parody of Blaxsploitation Films of
the 70's, and sex goddess Pam Grier.
Candi Roll (Candy Roll)
"Ewww... You're Sweaty!"
Weapon: Yo-Yos
Special Attack: Candi Spins around like a tornado.
Sucks in everything on the screen, shooting it off
screen. Impossible to avoid.
Primary Outfit: Pink Rollergirl Outfit
Secondary Outfit: Sailor Moon outfit.
Notes: A parody of Roller girl and 70's porno films.
Also a nod to Cynthia Rothrock, a female action star
in HK that hasn't had any success in the states.
Captain WonTon (One Ton)
"Underwear of Justice!"
Weapon: Flatulence
Special Attack: Jumps up in the air and bounces around
butt first, on everything. Everything he lands on gets
squashed.
Primary Outfit: Blue Wrestling outfit with White Mask.
Secondary outfit: Orange Wrestling outfit with Orange
mask.
Notes: The only character that doesn't belong in Kung-
Fu Chaos, WonTon is the slowest of characters. But he
hits REALLY hard. There are no references to wrestlers
like this that I can think of, in 70's films.
Shou Ting (Shouting)
"You just stupid Actors making more money than me!"
Weapon: Bullhorn and Voice
Special Attack: Screams at the top of his lungs into
the bullhorn, which transmits his voice in a line
across the screen. Anything touching it dies. Can be
aimed. Cannot be avoided.
Primary Outfit: Yellow Bruce Lee Motorcycle outfit
Secondary Outfit: Black Bruce Lee motorcycle outfit,
not yet known if unlockable.
Notes: The Boss character, Shou Ting has some great
taunts and is very fast. A parody of Ang Lee, John
Woo, and Yuen Woo Ping.
CHARACTERS YOU NO PLAY
The Generic Ninja
Purpose: To get butt kicked by heroes.
Attacks: Umm... Occasionally... I think.
Notes: These guys rarely do anything other than run up
to the hero and get killed. If you have difficulty
beating these guys, give up now and return the game.
Tactics: Any.
The Yellow Ninja
Purpose: To get butt kicked by heroes, but not as
often.
Attacks: Sometimes does a 2-3 hit combo, sometimes
blocks.
Notes: A parody of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, only
he uses Ninja Fu Hiya's moves. It could be argued that
all the basic ninjas fight like Ninja Fu Hiya, and
thus is a very good parody of Mortal Kombat, HK style.
Tactics: Any.
Flying Ninja
Purpose: To get shot out of a cannon at you.
Attacks: Spinning blades
Notes: Only found on two stages. In one stage, they
are easily avoidable. In the other, you want to whip
your controller at them.
The Straw Hat Ninja
Purpose: To use an Unblockable
Attacks: An Unblockable
Notes: An offhand reference to Raiden for Mortal
Kombat, also dresses kind of like a Samurai.
Tactics: As they spend time winding up an unblockable,
hit them before they get it off. They have a LOT of
hit points; so make sure you toss them off stage or
toss them into a stage hazard.
The Red Ninja
Purpose: To block.
Attacks: No, Just blocks. Well, he MIGHT do a throw or
Unblockable.
Notes: Annoying, the first difficult ninja.
Tactics: Switch up in Mid-Combo with a throw,
unblockable, or spin attack.
The Blindfolded Ninja
Purpose: To Counter
Attacks: Block, Counter, and Repeat.
Notes: Actually a lot easier than you think.
Tactics: White ninja likes to block the first shots of
your character's, then do a counter with X, Y.
Therefore, use X, X, Y or X, Y. This will counter his
counter and stagger him. Now follow up with a combo. A
lot of people are thrown because you NEED to hit an Y
attack to counter his counter. Running Moves are also
good to use on him as well.
The Spinning Ninja
Purpose: To spin!
Attacks: Umm... Spin?
Notes: After a few seconds of spinning, this ninja
gets dizzy. While spinning, its only vulnerable to an
unblockable or Special. After its dizzy, hit it with
whatever you want.
The White Ninja
Purpose: To IRRITATE
Attacks: Block, then counter, then combo. Interrupt
your Unblockable and combo. Etc.
Notes: ANNOYING, you will learn to despise these guys.
Tactics: Running attacks and Unblockables are the way
to go here, or combo and pray like hell that it hits.
Hopping Vampires
Purpose: Stage Hazard
Attacks: Kills you
Notes: Avoid
Tactics: AVOID
=====================
THE NINJA CHALLENGE
=====================
"When we film this scene, Ninja soo good, I no see
him!"
The single player mode of Kung-Fu Chaos is fun and
challenging. Many stages await the player who ventures
forth to play. In here I will detail what you need to
do to beat a stage, and what star rating you need to
get on each stage. Note that you don't need to get 5
Stars on EVERY stage, just the ones I list here. Also,
on a few stages, you can't get a star rating.

STAR RANKINGS:
1 Star - Flop
2 Star - Midnight Television
3 Star - Break Even
4 Star - Sleeper Hit
5 Star - Colossal Hit
UNLOCKING STAGES
Any stage with a star (*) next to them is a multi-
player stage that needs to be unlocked in single
player mode before it can be used in a multi-player
game. To unlock a stage for Multi-Player, you need to
get a 3 Star Rating on that stage, and beat the boss
of a stage, if applicable. Stages thats are ONLY
single player are marked with a number sign (#), but
they can still be unlocked for Challenge Mode.
Everyone's a Critic Stage can only be unlocked if you
have a 4 Star ranking in every stage before it.
Shou Ting's Big End is unlocked by scoring a 5 Star
Ranking on Everyone's a Critic.
UNLOCKING MINI-SERIES
Any Stage with a question mark (?) after it is a stage
that has a mini-series on it. You must beat this stage
with a 5 Star ranking to unlock a mini-series. Notice
you don't have to get a 5 Star ranking on every stage
to unlock 100%.
UNLOCKING OUTFITS
To unlock a characters second outfit, you must beat
the stage with the same character as the boss of that
stage with a three star ranking. Example: You must
beat Legend of the Drunken Bastards with Xui Tan Sour
to unlock her 2nd outfit, as Xui Tan Sour is the boss
on that stage. Only the Feature Film stages have the
ability to unlock outfits for the main characters,
these are marked with a dollar sign ($).
To unlock Candi Roll and Captian WonTon's outftis, you
must beat thier Mini-Series. As of this time, it is
not known if you can unlock Shou Ting's 2nd outfit.
UNLOCKING FEATURES
You unlock features by scoring a 4 Star ranking on any
stage. Examples of Features to unlock are 70's Kung-Fu
effect, Director's Cut Replay, and new multi-player
scoring conditions.
GAINING STAR POWER
You gain starpower (rankings on the bar at the bottom
of the screen) by defeating ninja on most stages. You
must either beat the ninja down to no health, or toss
them into a stage hazard while they are dizzy. You get
DOUBLE the starpower ranking for killing Ninja with a
special. The more Ninja killed with a special, the
more starpower you get. Its ALWAYS a good idea to kill
a boss with a Special. Mini-Games have special star-
power requirements.
REPLAYS
Called 'Final Cut', these are replays of your last
stage, set to music chosen by you, with commentary by
Shou Ting. These replays have dramtic camera angles,
and the whole screen is set to a 70's Kung Fu movie
filter. I reccomend you save at least one replay of
each stage, as these are quiet fun. Shou Ting's
comments are hilarious.

RIOT ON THE SET
Type: Mini-Fight
Difficulty: *
Description: A small 'stage' in front of a large movie
screen. Its near the dressing rooms and bathrooms.
Some clothes on a hangar (Shou Ting's) can be seen in
the foreground.
Enemies: Generic Ninja, Yellow Ninja.
Needed to Pass: 3 Stars
Boss: None
Hazards: Being thrown off the stage results in death.
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: Though most enemies encountered on this stage
die in one combo, tossing or kicking enemies off stage
when they are dizzy also results in a starpower kill.
Three Stars: THE WAY OF THE BASIC COMBO
Four Stars:
Five Stars:
THE WAY OF THE BASIC COMBO
Type: Training
Difficulty: *
Description: A small platform on top of a tall cliff.
Monasteries can be seen in the background.
Enemies: Wooden Dummies
Needed to Pass: Complete the indicated combos
Boss: None
Hazards: Though there are no enemies to do this to
you, being tossed off the side results in death.
Stage Weapons:
Tactics: Repeat the combo on the screen on the wooden
men to pass. You must complete 15 of them.
Unlocks: LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN BASTARDS
LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN BASTARDS
Type: Feature Film
Difficulty: *
Description: Section 1 starts out in a Chinese
restaurant similar to the one in the fight scene in
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The floor drops out
unto the ground level, then the restaurant falls
apart. Combat resumes in Section 2 on a small barge
drifting across the river next to the restaurant. That
barge crashes into another one and sinks. Combat
continues on the next barge. That then gets rammed
into by a police boat, and starts to sink. Next to
where it sinks are several windowpanes that open for a
few moments in unison, then close after about 30
seconds, this is Section 3. They lead up to a giant
boat paddle/spool hung in the air. That crashes into a
building, dropping the characters unto a dock, Section
4. The dock starts falling apart, leading the
characters up to a small wooden floating platform.
Stage ends here.
Enemies: Generic Ninja, Yellow Ninja. Red Ninja shows
up on the barge, then Straw hat Ninja shows up on the
spool.
Boss: Xui Tan Sour
Hazards: Obviously, falling into the water is bad. The
windows tend to close, so avoid standing on them for
too long. Also, when the stage starts, being tossed of
the second floor is instant death. This ceases when
the floor drops out.
Stage Weapons: Tables and Chairs and Extras are
tossable weapons in the restaurant. On the first
Barge, there is only one box. On the second barge,
there are some watermelons that you can toss at
everyone. When you land on the dock, there are two
lobsters, and one box you can toss at the ninjas.
Tactics: Any Ninja enemy that has a lot of health
should be tossed into a stage hazard. Kill ninja as
fast as possible in the restaurant. Remember to taunt.
This is the best place to kill ninja, as they show up
here and they are all either Generic or Yellow Ninja,
and therefore, they are easy to kill. Just as the
floor drops out, if you were fast enough, there should
be about six ninja here. Toss out a Special Attack to
kill them all. On the barges, make them dizzy and kick
them into the water. On the windows, knock ninja
dizzy, then leave them there. The windows closing will
give you the points. Knock them off the spool, and
throw them into the water on the docks.
Three Stars: A FEW GOOD STUNTMEN, New outfit if you
are using Xui Tan Sour
Four Stars: A new combat option: Kills.
Five Stars: Mini-Series
A FEW GOOD STUNTMEN
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: **
Description: Shou Ting has recruited you to help save
stuntmen being tossed out of a restaurant window
during a fight scene. You character has a trampoline
held over his head, and has to maneuver itself
underneath each falling stuntman. This bounces them
into the first aid boat.
Enemies: Occasionally, a cow will be tossed out the
window instead (This is an off-reference to Kung-Pow:
Enter the Fist). If you attempt to catch the cow, it
knocks you down.
Boss: None
Hazards: None
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: Jump for stuntmen high up, it saves time.
Otherwise, just keep an eye out for the Mun-Yu clones
(The cows).
Three Stars: WATERWHIRL
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Mini-Series for Ninja Fu Hiya
WATERWHIRL
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: **
Description: You and three ninja are standing on logs
jutting out of the water. In the center is a large
waterpump/pipe. This slowly starts spinning around in
a circle. You can either jump over it, or use your
spin attack to make it spin in the opposite direction,
only faster. The ninja have the same ability as you,
and you only have 5 lives. If the pipe hits you, you
get knocked into the water, which costs a life.
Enemies: The only ninja you really have to concern
yourself with are the ninja on either side of you.
Boss: None
Hazards: Err... that large pipe?
Stage Weapons: You guessed it, the pipe.
Tactics: The faster it goes, the better for you. Ninja
won't be knocked off thier log while its moving
slowly, so spin attack at first to get it moving
quicker. Just be careful, the ninja around you can
spin attack it right back at you. When its moving as
fast as it can, jumping is safer than spin attacking.
Sometimes you just can't avoid being knocked off, so
just try to avoid as much as possible.
Three Stars: THE WAT OF THE TERRIBLE TAUNT
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Mini-Series for Master Sho You
THE WAY OF THE TERRIBLE TAUNT
Type: Training
Difficulty: *
Description: The stage is the same as The Way of the
Basic Combo, only you are now facing the trainer. You
must knock him down and score three taunts, then
unleash your Special Attack. You do this twice.
Enemies: Errr... The Trainer?
Boss: None
Hazards: Same as the prior training stage.
Stage Weapons: Nada
Tactics: Same as any other training stage.
Unlocks: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY PRINCESS
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY PRINCESS
Type: Feature Film
Difficulty: *
Description: This stage is mostly a series of
connection bridges, until you are near the end. You
start out on an enclosed bridge blocked on both sides
by a wall (Section 1). Once the right wall gets
knocked down, you run up a ramp to a suspended
platform (Section 2). Once the gate is opened, you run
along a bridge, over a set of pit spikes, to a closed
set of doors(Section 3). Once the doors are opened,
you run up a series of ramps until you reach an
elevator (Section 4). You fight on the elevator for a
few moments, then the stage ends.
Enemies: Generic Ninja, Yellow Ninja, Red Ninja, Straw
Hat Ninja.
Boss: Ninja Fu Hiya
Hazards: Until you reach the doors, Flying Ninja are
being shot at you from a cannon. In the first section,
the ninja hit the planks you are standing on. After
that, they just try to hit you. Falling off the sides
kill you, as does getting impaled on any of the
spikes. In Section 4, poison gas keeps filling up the
room. You have to run up the ramps to avoid it.
Stage Weapons: Boxes are available by the closed
doors. These should mostly be used to smash the doors
open.
Tactics: In section 4, make Ninja dizzy and toss them
into the poison gas. Otherwise, just make sure they
are dizzy and keep running. The poison will take care
of the rest.
Three Stars: TO CATCH A PRINCESS and 2nd outfit if you
are using Ninja Fu Hiya.
Four Stars: New combat rule, Mojo
Five Stars: Mini-Series for Monkey
TO CATCH A PRINCESS
Type: Mini-Game

Description: You are on a wooden bamboo platform
suspended in the air. Not too far from you, is the
princess you rescued from the prior stage. Suddenly,
Flying Ninja attack! Pick up the princess and throw
her at the Ninja to knock them down.
Enemies: Slow moving, non-flying, but very persistant
Ninja. You can only hit them with the princess.
Boss: None.
Hazards: Get hit by a ninja and you die.
Stage Weapons: The Princess
Tactics: Pick up princess, throw princess at ninja,
repeat. Its a good idea to try and grab the princess
while she is bouncing back from a ninja, as it saves
time. Jump over ninja to avoid them, but remember: The
Princess is the ONLY weapon you have.
Three Stars: FOUR POLES AND A PRINCESS
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Mini-Series for Ninja Fu Hiya
FOUR POLES AND A PRINCESS

Boss: None.
Hazards: Falling off the pole, getting knocked off the
pole.
Stage Weapons: The Princess.

knockdown of an enemy if you think your jumping skills
are up to it.

mission a lot, because you will need the practice.
Three Stars: NIGHT OF THE LIVING FOG
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Mini-Series
NIGHT OF THE LIVING FOG
Type: Feature Film
Difficulty: ****
Description: Starts on a haunted movie set surrounded
by fog. (Section 1) You move along this, over some
traps, to a large Yin-Yang symbol, which then drops
you into a long shaft (Section 2). You are then
treated to a large platform with a huge trap (Seciton
3). After this, you are knocked unto two small wooden
beam type lines (section 4). From there to a small
stone yin-yang symbol. My least favorite stage.
Enemies: Yellow Ninja, White Ninja, Red Ninja, Straw
Hat Ninja, Spinning Ninja.
Boss: Master Sho Yu
Hazards: This stage is full of them. (Section 1) Stuck
in the fog? You die. Spike traps with large buttons
that operate them are all over the place. Virtually
useless, so don't rely on them. Hopping Vampires (good
research, this references an old Sammo Hung movie)
cover a section of the stage. You touch them, you die.
About midway on the surface, there are small poles
with potions on top. Hit the pole to knock the potion
down, then pick it up and toss it at an enemy. They
explode when hit with a potion. (Section 2) When
dropping down the shaft, red hot spikes are jutting
out from the sides on occasion. You can knock an enemy
into them at the risk of exposing yourself. (Section
3) When you FINALLY land, you are on a giant spike
trap with three switches. Anyone of the switches
activates the whole trap. Right after that on the two
wooden beams (Section 4), there is a red button in the
background, and a blue button in the foreground. Hit
the button on the beam you are standing on to activate
the trap on the opposite beam. Finally, when facing
Master Sho Yu, there are four potions on the stone
circle.
Stage Weapons: Potions and Spikes described above.
Tactics: Now you will learn to hate the White Ninja.
All I can say is to use the stage hazard as best as
you can, this is not an easy stage.
Three Stars: TOMB ROBBER, 2nd Outfit if you are using
Master Sho Yu
Four Stars: Unlocks Wooden Men Scoring Method
Five Stars: Mini-Series
TOMB ROBBER
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: **
Description: Pac-Man, Kung Fu Chaos Style! Run thru
the maze picking up dots, but avoid the Hopping
Vampires. No magic pills here to make them run away,
either.
Enemies: Hopping Vampires
Boss: None
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: Practice playing this stage, its not hard.
Three Stars: FRY HARD

Tactics: Time to play Iron Chef! Knock down a ninja,
make it dizzy, then throw it in an oven. Stand on the
correct switch, and fried ninja is your reward. Repeat

place to practice killing White Ninja.

GIGANTIC CRACK
Type: Feature Film
Difficulty: ***
Description: A battle with Ninja on the Titanic...
while its falling apart after being hit by an iceberg!
Section 1 is a small enclosed area. A piano opens that
area to Section 2; running across the upper deck.
Section 3 is near the lifeboats, while section 4 is
the ship turned sideways. Finally Section 5 is the
final life boat.
Enemies: Yellow Ninja, Straw Hat Ninja, White Ninja,
Red Ninja, Spinning Ninja.: Chop&Styx
Hazards: Aside from the water, there are iceberg
chunks, life preservers, and even passengers (read:
cardboard cut-outs) that show up from place to place.
In section 2, watch out for the falling cheap movie
set walls. In section 4, the ship splits in half! Shou
Ting will warn you when this happens, so you must jump
unto the railing to avoid dying. After that, you must
keep climbing up the set, but avoid the falling boxes
and lifeboats.
Stage Weapons: Chunks of ice, life preservers, boxes.
Tactics: ITs a lot easier to toss ninja into stage
hazards on this set. Make em dizzy and toss them into
the water. Play it a few times so you know where the
stage falls apart. Leave opponents dizzy in those
sections, and move to saftey. In section 4, Yellow
ninja will crowd the railing. If you are feeling like
a dardevil, wait from them to jump on the railing,
then knock them off with a basic attack! Its a cheap
kill, but it works.

small life boat next to a pile of life preservers.

Occasionally a seal will pop up in front of a ninja,
thinking you are playing a game. It will toss the
preserver back at you, knocking you down.
Enemies: A Seal
Boss: None
Hazards: The Seal
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: Ninja jutt out of the water waving thier
arms. If a seal is going to pop up in front of a

BIG TROUBLE ON LITTLE ICEBERG
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: ****
Description: Three of the ninja you rescued are on the
iceberg with you. Think of this game as bumpercars on
ice. Press X to ram into someone. The walls have to be
rammed to fall off, and once they do, you can knock
ninja into the ocean.
Enemies: Three ninja
Boss: None
Hazards: Falling into the water
Stage Weapons: None.
Tactics: Use X when near an edge to thrust yourself
away from it. This can save your life if timed
correctly. Otherwise, just ram away. Note to the
designers of this level: I HATE YOU!!!
Three Stars: ENTER THE DINO
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Mini-Series for Master Sho Yu
ENTER THE DINO
Type: Feature film
Difficulty: ***
Description: The stage starts out on a bridge where
the hero is being chased by a dinosaur (on railroad
tracks). Player than leaps into the water and wades
over to a small boat. Combat continues on the boat
until it crashes and the player is forced to combat
unto frog's heads, which pop out of the water. These
lead to a new boat, which eventually falls off a
waterfall. Combat resumes on a rope bridge across the
waterfall.
Enemies: Generic Ninja, Yellow Ninja, Straw Hat Ninja,
Blindfolded Ninja, White ninja
Boss: Monkey
Hazards: Once you reach the boat, the water around it
gets fill with pirhana fish. Falling into the water
will result in you being eaten. This takes a few
seconds, though, so if you mash buttons and jump out,
you can land on the boat. The Dinosaur stars chasing
you at one point, slowly attacking the boat. He will
take apart the boat from the aft side, so if you stay
in the front side of the boat, you don't have to worry
about him. At 4 points during the boat ride, vines
appear across the water. They hold you in place,
knocking you into the water. The first time they
appear, Shou Ting will warn you. The second time,
there is only one and you have to watch out for it.
Lastly, when you are fighting on the Rope Bridge, it's
very narrow and easy to get knocked off.
Stage Weapons: Right at the start on the boat there
are a few Boxes and some live chickens you can throw
at people.
Tactics: Easy to say, knock em dizzy and toss em off
screen or into the water. Remember to make them dizzy,
otherwise you will get no star power for the kill. The
water in this stage is your friend, so make use of it.
Three Stars: CLIMBING FISH, FALLING TURTLE; Also, you
get a 2nd outfit for Monkey if you are using him.

CLIMBING FISH, FALLING TURTLE
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: ***
Description: You are standing at the top of a
waterfall and a large hungry fish is slowly coming up
eager to get its lunch, you. Turtles are also drifting
downstream, and getting caught on the edge. Pick up a
turtle and toss it at the fish to knock it back down.
Enemies: The Fish
Boss: None
Hazards: The turtles, if left alone, will stand up and
run across the screen, tripping you. Jump to avoid
them. You can throw a turtle downward while you are
jumping, so don't let it delay you.
Stage Weapons: Turtles.
Tactics: Divide your attention between the turtles
drifting downstream and the fish climbing up. Make
sure you are standing near where a turtle will land to
pick it up. Also, don't wait to try and hit the fish,
hit it even if it is at the bottom of the waterfall.
This saves time.

FISH OF FURY
Type: Mini-Battle
Difficulty: ****
Description: You are standing on a rock surrounded by
lilypads, when suddenly, ninja attack!
Enemies: Generic Ninja, Spinning Ninja, Red Ninja,
Blindfolded Ninja, and White Ninja
Boss: None
Hazards: Once you step on a lillypad, it will start to
sink, the more people who are on the lillypad, the
faster it will sink. The water is pirhana infested, so
the longer you spend in it, the more you will get
hurt. Also, the fish from last stage stars eating
lillypads until only the rock is left. He stars with
the NE one, then the SE, then NW, then N, then the S
lillypad. Make sure you avoid those.
Stage weapons: None
Tactics: Ninja swarm you a lot, so spin attack and
running attack are the moves of the day. Also, use
your unblockable as much as possible. It makes enemies
very dizzy and lets the stage hazard eat them. Its
hard to get 5 stars on this stage, as enemies are
killed more often by stage hazards than by you.
Three Stars: BEHIND THE SCENES BRAWL

BEHIND THE SCENES BRAWL
Type: Mini-Battle
Difficulty: ****
Description: Another small stage fight.
Enemies: Spinning Ninja, White Ninja, Blindfolded
Ninja, Red Ninja
Hazards: falling off the stage
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: Since the only ninja here are the tougher
ninja, this is not a fun stage. They appear in pairs
first, then packs. Remember the fasest way to kill is
to toss them or knock them off stage. SAVE your
special for when there is a large group of people, and
use it then. It gives you more star power that way,
AND kills off more enemies at the same time.
Three Stars: REVENGENCE DAY
Four Stars:
Five Stars: Nothing
REVENGENCE DAY
Type: Feature Film
Difficulty: ***
Description: Aliens are attacking New York! Your
valiant hero tries to escape, but Ninja attack. You
start out on a helipad, and run off the roof into an
elevator. The elevator explodes, tossing you unto a
roof of a nearby building. Then you lean from building
top to building top, fighting in the brief respite you
get. Eventually, you land on a flying saucer, which
crashes into a building. After a few moments fighting
amongst the rubble, a helicopter shows up. Jump unto
its safety cage and fight until you get to the end.
Enemies: Straw Hat Ninja, Red Ninja, Blindfolded
Ninja, and White Ninja
Boss: Lucy Cannon
Hazards: Well, falling off a building is one common
hazard, as is falling off the flying saucer. A giant
laser fired from a flying saucer destroys the
buildings, so you can imagine how bad it would be to
stand in its path.
Stage Weapons: On the Helipad, bombs get dropped in.
Throw a bomb at a ninja to kill it. You can also kick
them. Beware as ninja can catch them and throw then
back. But so can you. Boxes show up on rooftops.
Tactics: At the beginning, throw bombs like your life
depends on it. Cause it usually will. When you reach
the rooftops, throw boxes at ninja. Mostly you will
fight the Blindfolded and White ninja types, so stage
weapons are your best friends. Also, knocking a ninja
dizzy in the path of a laser weapon is a great tactic,
and saves you some time. While dueling on the saucer,
it rotates, causing some centrifugal force. Becareful,
as it could spin you off the edge, but use a running
attack to hit ninja. This should toss them off.

Four Stars: Unlocks new game Speeds
Five Stars: Mini-Series
INVASION OF THE BRAIN SNATCHERS
Type: Mini-Game
Difficulty: **
Description: You are standing on a helipad next to a
large box. Brains in a jar are running around, trying
to avoid you. Grab them and throw them in the box.
Enemies: None
Boss: None
Hazards: None
Stage Weapons: The Brains in a Jar
Tactics: Run after a brain, grab brain, throw brain
into box, and repeat. Note that brains run away from
you, so it's a good idea to run to the opposite side
of the helpad from the box, then herd them towards it.
This saves some time having to run across the area
when you finally grab one. Also, its apparently
possible to throw a brain into the box in such a way
that it registers as being in the box, but it bounces
off and lands back on the roof. IF you can figure this
out, use it, as it saves time grabbing brains when
there are a lot to grab.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WORST KIND
Type: Mini-Battle
Diffculty: *****
Description: Think of this as a backstage fight on a
flying saucer.... Which is spinning around and tilting
at odd angles.
Enemies: Blindfolded Ninja, White Ninja, and Straw Hat
Ninja
Boss: None
Hazards: Falling off the saucer.
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: This is the hardest stage in the game, as
enemies are more likely to be eliminated by the spin
of the saucer than by your hits. Plus you can get
tossed off as well. Running attacks and unblockables
are the main tactics here, but when the saucer starts
moving quickly, your spin attack becomes insanely
useful. In any other stage, it only pushed them away a
little, however, combined with the spin of the saucer,
you can knock them to the edge fast. White Ninja are
less frustrating here, as they tend to block a lot. If
they are near the edge, just keep doing a long hit
combo. You will knock them off. Just be cautious that
you do not fall off after them!

EVERYONE'S A CRITIC
Type: Backstage Mini-Battle
Difficulty: ****
Description: A backstage fight, only with the main
cast of characters, and their stunt double!!! They
appear in pairs.
Enemies: Master Sho Yu, Monkey, Ninja Fu Hiya,
Chop&Styx, Lucy Cannon, Candi Roll, Captian WonTon,
and Xui Tan Sour
Boss: EVERYONE
Hazards: Falling off the stage
Stage Weapons: None
Tactics: First I will describe the enemy's tactics.
One will run around, doing seemingly nothing, while
the other acts like a White Ninja... Well, it acts like
a White Ninja with a taunt ability and serious need to
kill you. Will call the attacker #1 and the one who
does nothing #2. #1 combos you, then taunts. WHILE #1
starts taunting, #2 runs up to you and either kicks
you off the stage or throws you off. They are darn
near psychic when they do this, so expect to die a LOT
when you first boot up this stage. So what do you do?
Simple. Do whatever you can to get rid of ONE of the
two. It doesn't matter what you do, just do it. Now,
you are only facing one bad guy. Knock them down and
TAUNT. Do this three times, then toss them off stage.
When the next pair of Bosses show up, use your Special
power. Start over with the 3rd group of bosses. You
should get a 5 star rating doing this by group number
five.
Three Stars:

WonTon's entire Mini-Series.

**REMEMBER! YOU NEED TO BEAT THE LAST STAGE WITH AT
LEAST 5 STARS TO PLAY THE FINAL STAGE**
SHOU TING'S BIG END
Type: Mini-Fight
Difficulty: ***
Description: There is only one star in this film, and
Shou Ting thinks its him! You are in a cage match to
determine who the true star is.
Enemies: None
Boss: Shou Ting
Hazards: None
Stage Weapons: A cross selection from every stage
before this. Boxes, Lobsters, Life preservers, Ect.
Tactics: Shou Ting has a lot of advantages over other
characters. He hits hard, he taunts after every combo
or knockdown, he catches objects thrown at him, and
you CANNOT BLOCK ANY HIT he throws. Also he has one of
the best special attacks in the game. Combine those
all together and you have a serious problem on your
hands. Still, I rated this fight 3 star, why? Because
Shou Ting is easy. Run away from Shou and he will
start to follow you. Then turn around and meet him
halfway. Usually this will catch him flatfooted. Now
combo him and TAUNT. Don't try to throw him, don't try
to throw objects at him, and don't hesitate to use a
special. Shou Ting will ALWAYS counter a combo, like a
Blindfolded Ninja. He will either counter on hit #2 or
#3 of your combo. So make sure to mix up the X, Y and
X, X, Y combos. You will counter his counter, and
stagger him. ALWAYS follow up with a combo. You need
that taunt. Special him every chance you get, and he
will go down with a 5 star rating.

Multiplayer in this game comes in two flavors: Battle
Game and Challenge Mode. Game can be team play or free
for all.
Points are scored in various ways described here:

has the most lives left at the end of the stage, OR
the person who is last left alive wins.

Challenge Mode
This is the party game of Kung Fu Chaos, and its best
for 2 on 2 team games. Free for all is fun as well.
Stages are played in the same order as ninja
challenge, with the best player in each stage getting
to play one of the mini-games that is reserved for
single player. 2 points are awarded for each Feature
Film you win, while 1 point is awarded for each mini-
game won. Since you get 1 point for each mini-game
won, and some can only be played by one player,
competition can get hectic. Ninja only show up in the
single player mini-games. Refer to the section of this
faq on the Ninja Challenge for the mini-games and
tactics for them.

MINI-SERIES
============
"I am not saying another thing until someone brings me
my coffee! (Wait) (sigh) I'll be right back."
The single player game time is extended by unlocking
various mini-series for each character. These are
simple three stage mini-challenges, designed to test
your Kung-Fu Chaos mastery. You need to beat a stage

I am a serious Hong Kong Action film fan. I have
always felt that a lot (but not all) of the action
films made here in the United States was inferior to
the ones made in Hong Kong. In this section, I would
like to share with you the Flims, Actors, and
Directors who inspired Kung-Fu Chaos.
Bruce Lee (The greatest of all time)
- Enter the Dragon (Gee, that song sounds familiar)
- The Chinese Connection (AKA Fists of Fury)
- Game of Death (ONLY the last 3 fight scenes, don't
watch the rest of it)
Jacky Chan (The king of Kung-Fu Comedy)
- Drunken Master (This comedy classic was made without
using wires, and it still looks impossible)
- Drunken Master II (AKA Legend of Drunken Master)
- Who Am I (Jacky's best fight scene ever is at the
end, on the roof, against a guy who only punches and a
guy who only kicks)
- Snake in Eagle's Shadow
Jet Li (The Man)
- The Legend (Fight scene balanced on peoples heads!)
- The Legend part 2 (Jet fights off bad guys, while
juggling a colum of chairs, that holds up his mother,
who is in a hangman's noose!)
- Fist of Legend (Jet does a loose remake of the
Chinese Connection)
Chow Yun Fat (Hong Kong's version of Tom Hanks)
- The Killer (If you haven't seen this, you are
missing one of the greatest films of all time)
- Hard Boiled (Ditto)
- Full Contact (Chow with a crew cut goes after
gangsters. A classic, but its not for kids)
Donnie Yen (The prize student of Yuen Woo Ping)
- Iron Monkey
- Blade II
- Hero of Heroes
Yuen Woo Ping (No comments necessary)
- The Matrix
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Fist of Legend
John Woo (I think his films, except Hard Target, speak
for themselves)
- A Bullet in the Head
- Face/Off
