Lots easier than the arcade version! Some of the bosses are probably a little TOO easy on the first loop. The hit detection on the first boss' feet is way better here than in the arcade version, no more kicks going right through his leg without hurting him. : ) Definitely gets harder on the 2nd loop though, and also "GAME B" seems harder.
You can do a forward jump from a stand-still, which you can't do in the arcade version. : ) The kicks in this NES version are maybe a little less powerfully drawn, but the walk animation is much better.
I speculated that 10-Yard Fight, another Irem arcade game that came to the NES with the big "*" asterisk for the Irem copyright on the cartridge and box, was programmed for the NES by Nintendo, but according to MobyGames, Irem made the NES port of 10-Yard Fight themselves--whereas the NES port of their arcade game Kung-Fu Master, printed on the NES cart and box as "KUNG FU*," was famously handled by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto--and supposedly the scrolling game experience from Kung Fu helped him when he went on to make Super Mario Bros.
And that's just gotta be Seymour Skinner. ^ _^ (4 years before he first appeared on The Simpsons. ; D ... Okay so maybe Skinner was based on this Kung Fu boss. ^ _^)
OH the Jackie Chan / Sammo Hung movie on which the arcade game was based was called "Wheels on Meals" in the West, not "Meals on Wheels." : PPP (The movie was "Spartan X" in Japan, and the game has that name there.)
