—Game menu description

Kung Fu is a single-player minigame in Game & Wario, hosted by Young Cricket & Master Mantis.

Story[edit]

Young Cricket & Master Mantis are training. Master Mantis builds up energy to create a dumpling out of thin air, eats it and quickly runs off. Young Cricket realizes he is hungry and follows his master.

Gameplay[edit]

Kung Fu is a platforming minigame in which the player controls Young Cricket and travels across a series of obstacle courses. The TV screen has the camera set behind the character, while the GamePad screen offers a top-down view of him. Rather than walking, Young Cricket moves by continuously jumping, so the player must control the direction of his jumps by tilting the GamePad to progress. Young Cricket also has the "quick drop" technique, which functions similarly to a Ground Pound. Another aspect of the game is his energy meter, which serves as a timer for the player. Each stage starts with 100 seconds on the timer. The player can collect dumplings along the way to increase it by five seconds.

Five Trials[edit]

This mode comprises five courses with different themes. The stages require Young Cricket to get to the goal, where Master Mantis waits. Clearing a course for the first time grants the player a Cluck-A-Pop token. Hidden in each stage are three scrolls, which also grant the player a token if all three are collected in one run.

Description[edit]

Jump your way to Master Mantis before you run out of energy. Clear all five stages to earn a special reward!

All You Can Eat[edit]

All You Can Eat is unlocked after the player clears all five stages in Five Trials. This mode is an endless version of the minigame with increased difficulty level, as the platforms are mostly crumbling and narrow pillars. Some elements from the thematic stages, such as rotating bridges and mushrooms, also appear.

Description[edit]

Your reward from Master Mantis is all the dumplings you can eat! Keep jumping and eating to increase your energy. If you jump long enough, the dumplings will double up!
