How it plays
How does Black Belt play?
Black Belt is viewed from the side as Riki advances through linear stages. Each stage sends groups of enemies onto the screen from both directions, and the objective is to defeat them while moving toward a boss encounter.
The player can walk, jump, punch, and kick. Enemies have different attack patterns, while some stages include hazards or stronger opponents. Progression is stage-based rather than character-based: completing a section leads to the next area, with boss battles providing the main change in pace.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Black Belt?
Stay near the center of the screen so approaching enemies can be seen from either direction. Use kicks to control space and punches when an opponent is close.
Jump over crowded groups rather than trading hits with every enemy. Against bosses, learn the timing of their approach, attack after they commit to a move, and avoid standing directly in front of them for too long.
