Kendo Rage is a 1993 Super Nintendo game by Datam Polystar (Japan) and Seta (U.S. localization). Its Japanese name is Makeruna! Makendou ("Do Not Lose! Kendo Magic").The story depends on which version you play. In either, though, you end up playing as a Magical Girl who whacks all sorts of wacky monsters with her kendo staff. The gameplay is somewhat similar to that of the Valis series, but with a large serving of insanity.The Japanese version continues its story with a one-episode OVA, an SNES/PlayStation fighting game, and an RPG for the PC-FX. Not surprisingly, none of them have been localized.

Hurricane of Puns: At least in the U.S. version, every level is followed by a punny comment from either Bob or Jo. Additionally, the bosses crack puns before fighting you.

comment
Sexy Packaging: The U.S. box art featuring two attractive women about to swing weapons at each other is probably the result of the fact that the game features a female protagonist and that U.S. publishers at the time did not like using animesque art on covers, believing it to be marginalize their product to a niche audience.

Mercy Invincibility: You get the usual form of this, as well as an extra, unusual form of this trope which applies to bosses—hit them, and for the brief moment afterwards when they're flashing, you take no contact damage from them.

Dub-Induced Plotline Change: In the Japanese original version, the main character, named Mai, is asked by a spirit detective named Doro to help attack monsters. In the U.S. version, an American girl named Jo has gone to Japan to study kendo, and meets this weird green-skinned guy named Osaki "Bob" Yorimoto who is her kendo instructor, but she has to fight through the levels to get to school on time.
