The Game
The game begins after you have made a long, hard climb up the rocky cliff
beneath Akuma's castle. You pull yourself up onto solid ground only to find
yourself standing before a massive gateway, your way barred by the first of the
palace guards. Beyond the gateway, Akuma's palace looms in the distance. The
row of orange arrows running across the bottom left of the screen tells you how
many hits you can withstand. Every time you get hit, you lose one arrow. If
your last arrow disappear, you DIE. When you are not getting hit, your arrows
are gradually repenished. The row of blue arrows the bottom right gives you the
same information about your enemy.
Every guard has his own fighting style and can be identified by his headgear.
As a rule, the guards get tougher as you get farther into the palace.
When you kill a guard, take advantage of the opportunity and run. Your
objective is to rescue the Princess Mariko, not to waste time sparring with
flunkies.
When you stand up, you drop your guard, leaving yourself extremely vulnerable
to attack-a single well-armed blow may kill you-so be especially alert for signs
of danger when you are standing or running.
