VERSUS

This mode is for one or two players. As a single player, you choose your character and a 
computer-controlled opponent to fi ght against. You also get to pick the environment where 
the fi ght takes place. The match is over when a fi ghter’s Health Meter runs out. 

QUEST

Play through the Tao Feng story by choosing a sect and trying to recover sacred treasures. 
In order to complete a quest, you must retrieve the sacred treasure that each sect 
member has assigned to him or her.

SURVIVAL

Try to stay alive as you battle your way through a series of computer-controlled opponents. 
If you can manage to knock your opponent into a danger zone, you’ll receive a Health 
Meter power-up that will help you keep going longer.

TEAM BATTLE

One or two players select two to six different characters and the order in which they 
will fi ght. The team that runs out of characters fi rst loses. Each character has only one 
Health Meter. You accumulate points as you successfully progress through your roster 
of characters.

TOURNAMENT

Set up a tournament with as few as four and as many as eight players. Participants are 
randomly paired off to fi ght each other head-to-head and the winner of each fi ght collects 
the points for their match as well as the points from the opponent’s previous battles. The 
fi nal tournament winner collects the point totals of all the matches combined.
