'''''Maou Renjishi''''' (魔王連獅子) is a 1991 [[Sega Mega Drive]] beat-'em-up by [[Taito]]. For some reason, [[DreamWorks]] published the game in the US under the name '''''Mystical Fighter''''', removing Taito's name and completely changing the title screen animation. [http://www.mobygames.com/game/genesis/mystical-fighter At least one source] actually credits development of the game to [[KID]] — this has yet to be confirmed (TODO).
