Thank you for calling this to my attention!! I have been a fan of Uematsu and his music since I played the games!

For the love of God, you have to listen to this!! Amazing chiptune soundtrack for a very nostalgic, gameboy-esque platformer: http://music.flashygoodness.com/ Also, play the game here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/544332

Thanks for clearing me up. I realize now that I had just skimmed the first paragraph.

In its original meaning, kung fu can refer to any skill. Gōngfu (功夫) is a compound of two words, combining 功 (gōng) meaning "achievement" or "merit", and 夫 (fū) which translates into "man", so that a literal rendering would be "human achievement". Its connotation is that of an accomplishment arrived at by great effort. According to Shaolin Monk Shi Yan Ming, Gongfu also means “from early morning to late evening, sharpen your blade".[3] Hypothetically, any unarmed combat system could accurately be called "karate" since the Japanese phrase literally means "empty hand."

Loved this track even though I never played the game! Where did the vocal sound byte of the samba explanation come from?

Vanguard Bandits (Epica Stella) has a great soundtrack including a couple of rockin', epic vocal tracks used in the title screen for this mech-bashing rpg strategy game. http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/psx/vanguard/downloads.shtml http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/epicastella/index.html Have at it!
