Kung Fu Kid, titled Makai Retsuden (魔界列伝) in Japan, is a beat 'em up video game released for the Master System in 1987. It is the follow-up to Dragon Wang for the SG-1000. Kung Fu Kid was published in Brazil years after the initial release by Tec Toy as Sapo Xulé O Mestre do Kung Fu; as in Psycho Fox and Astro Warrior, the main character is replaced by cartoon frog Sapo Xulé.

Reception

Computer Gaming World criticized Kung Fu Kid's "incredibly contrived play-mechanics" (including a lobster that would give the player extra powers) and the "tiny and cartoon-like" graphics, and mocked the Engrish documentation that stated that the player would fight "the unnaturally evil one".
