Kabuki Z is an arcade sidescrolling hack n slash produced by Kaneko and licensed by Taito in 1988. The game features a Samurai where you fight enemies like skeletons and the like, but then weirdly in the last round the character becomes a barbarian. It is likely the game was released in an unfinished state as it not only has many visual and audio problems, but the lack of cohesiveness with the setting makes no sense.

Regardless, CoolHandMike ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/CoolHandMike ) plays through the game in record time.
