'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ストリートスマート) is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] fighting game developed and published by [[Treco]]. It is a port of the 1989 [[SNK]] arcade game of the same name. First released in Japan in July 1991, it was brought to the United States the next month.

==Gameplay==

 +
The game is a fighting game that plays on a two-dimensional plane like a beat-'em-up. Fights take place in enclosed arenas in front of excited onlookers. Players must defeat a series of computer-controlled opponents by draining their health bars within a time limit. Fighters are briefly invulnerable after being hit, so combos are not possible, and fighters cannot harm each other when too close. Losing all of the fighter's health points or running out of time costs a life, but the fighter is immediately revived with a full health bar to finish the fight if the player has extra lives left. The game ends if the player runs out of lives, but there are limited continues available.
 +
 
 +
There are two selectable fighters, Karate Man, a fast karate expert, and Crusher, a slow but strong wrestler. Karate Man is selected by starting a game with the first control pad and selecting "1P Start"; Crusher is selected by starting a game with the second control pad and selecting "2P Start." If there are two control pads connected, the "2P Start" option is replaced by the "1P and 2P Start" option, which starts a two-player game where both players alternate fighting a computer-controlled opponent, with player one playing Karate Man and player two playing Crusher. There is no competitive two-player mode.
 +
 
 +
Fighters can move from side to side with {{left}} or {{right}} but also back and forth with {{up}} and {{down}}. They jump with {{C}}. They punch with {{A}} and kick with {{B}}. Punches are faster, but kicks have longer range. Their moves change if the opponent is in close range. They can jump kick with {{B}} after jumping, but this can only hit airborne opponents. They cannot punch in midair. Fighters can backflip to escape opponents with {{A}}+{{B}}. Each fighter has a special technique performed with {{B}}+{{C}}. Using a special technique costs one health point, and they cannot be used at all if the fighter has three or fewer health points remaining.
 +
 
 +
Players earn points from each fight, with later fights awarding more points. After each fight, these points can be spent improving the attributes of the fighters: life (the length of the health bar), power (the damage dealt by the fighter), and defense (the resistance to damage from opponents). Opponents too become more powerful as the game progresses.
 +
 
 +
Players also earn money from each match (with victorious fights earning more money). Before every fight except the first, players can gamble their earnings on who will win (players are even able to bet on their opponents). Players lose all of their money when they lose a life. There are three endings to the game, depending on how much money the players have when the final boss is defeated. The best ending requires $8,000,000 in earnings, which is only possible to achieve through betting. The normal ending requires more than $100,000, which is also the amount earned from winning the final fight. The worst ending requires exactly $100,000, which is only possible to achieve by losing a life in the final fight or losing everything in the final bet.
 +
 
 +
Players can determine the number of extra lives (1 to 4), the number of continues (3 or 5), and the difficulty (Easy, Normal, or Hard) in the options prior to starting the game.

The game is a fighting game that plays on a two-dimensional plane like a beat-'em-up. Fights take place in enclosed arenas in front of excited onlookers. Players must defeat a series of computer-controlled opponents by draining their health bars within a time limit. Fighters are briefly invulnerable after being hit, so combos are not possible, and fighters cannot harm each other when too close. Losing all of the fighter's health points or running out of time costs a life, but the fighter is immediately revived with a full health bar to finish the fight if the player has extra lives left. The game ends if the player runs out of lives, but there are limited continues available.

There are two selectable fighters, Karate Man, a fast karate expert, and Crusher, a slow but strong wrestler. Karate Man is selected by starting a game with the first control pad and selecting "1P Start"; Crusher is selected by starting a game with the second control pad and selecting "2P Start." If there are two control pads connected, the "2P Start" option is replaced by the "1P and 2P Start" option, which starts a two-player game where both players alternate fighting a computer-controlled opponent, with player one playing Karate Man and player two playing Crusher. There is no competitive two-player mode.

Fighters can move from side to side with Left or Right but also back and forth with Up and Down. They jump with C. They punch with A and kick with B. Punches are faster, but kicks have longer range. Their moves change if the opponent is in close range. They can jump kick with B after jumping, but this can only hit airborne opponents. They cannot punch in midair. Fighters can backflip to escape opponents with A+B. Each fighter has a special technique performed with B+C. Using a special technique costs one health point, and they cannot be used at all if the fighter has three or fewer health points remaining.

Players earn points from each fight, with later fights awarding more points. After each fight, these points can be spent improving the attributes of the fighters: life (the length of the health bar), power (the damage dealt by the fighter), and defense (the resistance to damage from opponents). Opponents too become more powerful as the game progresses.

Players also earn money from each match (with victorious fights earning more money). Before every fight except the first, players can gamble their earnings on who will win (players are even able to bet on their opponents). Players lose all of their money when they lose a life. There are three endings to the game, depending on how much money the players have when the final boss is defeated. The best ending requires $8,000,000 in earnings, which is only possible to achieve through betting. The normal ending requires more than $100,000, which is also the amount earned from winning the final fight. The worst ending requires exactly $100,000, which is only possible to achieve by losing a life in the final fight or losing everything in the final bet.

Players can determine the number of extra lives (1 to 4), the number of continues (3 or 5), and the difficulty (Easy, Normal, or Hard) in the options prior to starting the game.
