A mythology-flavored Genesis beat 'em up that is among the pricier US carts.

Mystical Fighter is a beat 'em up whose story, designs and characters are based on Japanese mythology. KID developed it. In Japan it came out as Mao Renjishi on 25 October 1991, and North America followed in March 1992.

Before you buy

Among US carts it is one of the pricier ones. The Japanese cart (Mao Renjishi) usually costs about the same loose and noticeably more complete, and it is a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
