Summary

Best of the Best: Championship Karate feels like a polished sequel to the early‑90s European hit Panza Kick Boxing. The game keeps the core premise—climbing the ranks by taking on a line‑up of black‑belt kick‑boxing masters—while adding a slicker console presentation. What’s interesting is how the title was rebranded for the home video‑game market, shedding its original name to emphasize the championship angle. Each opponent brings a distinct fighting style, turning the tournament into a true test of timing and strategy rather than just button‑mashing. The whole experience captures the era’s enthusiasm for martial‑arts competition, making it a standout entry in the niche of early ’90s sports titles.
