Play Cloud Master Online

Summary

Cloud Master drops you into a breezy, horizontally scrolling shooter where you pilot Mike Chen atop a trusty cloud. Your mission is to zip through five whimsical lands, blasting energy balls from your fingertips while dodging a parade of oddball foes—bird‑men, flying cat heads, gun‑toting pigs, and even soup‑filled bowls that zap on contact. Power‑up pots scattered across the sky boost your speed and Ki force, and occasional doors let you spend collected credits on special bomb types like fireballs, guardian flames, or bouncing explosives. Each stage throws a mini‑boss before the main guardian, and checkpoints let you resume after a lost life without starting over. The arcade version earned a spot as the sixteenth most‑successful table unit in Japan’s August 1988 Game Machine chart, while the Master System port stayed Japan‑only. A 2008 remake by Starfish SD resurfaced on the Wii as The Monkey King: The Legend Begins, later arriving on Switch under the title Chuka Taisen in 2018.
