 Knuckle Bash (Video Game)
comment
Knuckle Bash is a 1993 Beat 'em Up arcade action game made by Toaplan, and the company's last title before it folded a year later.A corrupt wrestling group called the Mad Bull Group organization threatens to taint the reputation of the sport, leading to a group of ex-wrestlers to quit their jobs and return to the ring, for one last fight, to restore wrestling back to it's former glory. Three of the best wrestlers - the Luchadore El Plancha, the Elvis Impersonator Michael Sobut, and the street brawler Jack Brow - are available for players as they kick all sorts of ass through a series of location from a Chicago Hotel, New York's Chinatown, a Thai Boxing court, an underground fighting ring in the Middle East, a Buddhist Temple, and numerous places to recruit the best wrestlers around before infiltrating Mad Bull's headquarters.

Suplex Finisher: Michael can execute this on enemies with the grabbing move, which deals greater damage to their health.

Ambiguously Human: En route to confronting the Bull Group's leader, you fight a tengu demon who literally Power Floats into the arena and have the ability to breath a powerful laser blast. But after you beat him down, he's then revealed to be a man disguised as a demon. The source of his supernatural powers, though, is quickly brushed aside and never brought up again.

Palette Swap: More than half the mooks are made from recycled sprites of each other. Notably the waterfront stage which has identical guys in sunglasses wearing either red or blue shirts, as with the Luchadore enemies and the thugs in Chinatown, which are identical models with different skin colours and attires.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: The stage near the docks have a quick shot of a giant, brown-and-green furry arm bursting out a man-sized crate in an area you just left. In the next section, you're fighting a gigantic furry monkey.

Acrofatic: The Final Boss, leader of the Bull Group, is a grossly overweight brute with a bulging stomach, flabby arms and legs and at least a meter taller than you, who can move rather quickly around his office despite his girth.

Dual Boss: As soon as you exit the hotel in the first stage (by getting blown out the building by dynamites), you fight two bosses at once, consisting of a huge muscleman brawler and a Muay Thai fighter. The fifth stage has you fighting two overweight luchadors.

Die, Chair, Die!: All over the place - right in the first stage, the front of the hotel contains four parked cars, two on either side, which you proceed to rip apart with your fists in order to proceed. And the following area gives you a Manneken Piss replica to smash up...

Mini-Game: Every few levels, you play a game where you mash one of the buttons to charge up a boxer's punch. The more you mash, the more health you regain. If you knock the opponent out, you get all your health back.

For reasons unexplained, the game's Final Boss - an overweight giant of a man - wears a mask made from a flayed piglet. Which could barely cover half his gigantic head. Maybe he's trying to invoke himself being a Pig Man...

Elvis Impersonator: Michael Sobut a.k.a "Clash". Imagine an ass-kicking Elvis who beats the crap out of multiple people everywhere he goes. His throw turns the enemy into a guitar, which he rocks out on before throwing the enemy aside.
