Play Super Chinese 2 - Dragon Kid (Japan) Online

Super Chinese 2: Dragon Kid came out on the NES in 1989, developed by Culture Brain. It was part of that wave of action platformers that filled the console's library, offering a mix of straightforward combat and light exploration without too much complexity. You play as a young fighter out to rescue a kidnapped princess, moving through themed stages that mix outdoor areas with enemy-filled castles.

You control a small, agile character who punches and kicks through waves of enemies, including ninjas and sumo wrestlers. The main goal is to clear each screen of foes before moving forward, occasionally fighting a boss or navigating simple environmental puzzles. Two mechanics stand out: you can pick up and throw certain enemies, and you collect power-ups that let you shoot fireballs or summon a dragon for screen-clearing attacks. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty feels fair but persistent, with enemy patterns that require attention rather than brute force. It feels energetic and a little silly in the best way, especially when you’re hurling a sumo across the screen or calling in a dragon assist.
