While there were beat em up before and since this was the one that many consider to be the founder of this particular genre and established many of its conventions such as the grand special moves and quirky character celebrations at the end of the fight. As the name suggests it is slick and fast paced but it is also exciting, colourful and features some of the most distinctive characters to have graced the 2D arena.
There are also titles originally designed for the handheld consoles available.
