- UPDATES -

This version has some differences :
* It has a different storyline : you would fight your way through tournaments at various levels and finally end up at the nationals.
* Japanese voices are used.
* The bonus stages are different : kicking a vase, kicking apples out of another man's hands and off his head and jumping up and kicking a tall post.
