Working in the Dojo[]
- [If the player approaches one of the dojo trainers, they may say this]
- Dojo Worker: Just a tiny little piece off of there... And maybe a little teeny-weeny piece off there...
- Dojo Trainer 1: Slowly does it... Be calm... Don't go too fast... Oh yeah, these tortoise martial arts are way easier that the regular ones. [The dialogue repeats]
Hat-Stands Outside?[]
- [If the player builds a wooden practice dummy]

Learning Kung Fu[]
- Barry Smith: Look deep within yourself to find your hidden potential and you will triumph over your enemies. What also helps, is throwing them around! Let's see what you can do, Chase.

- [When throwing the second Karate Guy]
- Barry Smith: Ooh, bruv! You're ruthless!
- [When throwing the fourth Karate Guy]

- [When grabbing the ninth Karate Guy]
- Barry Smith: Ouch! Ah well, he knew the risks when he joined the dojo.
- [If the player is slow to throw a Karate Guy]
- Barry Smith: Try throwing them into each other! Remember, a journey of ten thousand miles starts with a single...er...phone call to a travel agent.
- [When throwing the tenth Karate Guy to another]
- Barry Smith: Ooh! He's gonna be walking funny tomorrow!
- [When grabbing the eleventh Karate Guy]
- Barry Smith: Ooh, dear oh dear...
- [When throwing the eleventh Karate Guy to another]
- Barry Smith: Go on, throw another!
- [When throwing the twelfth Karate Guy to another]
- Barry Smith: You'll find the guys dressed in brown a bit tougher! If a tree falls in a forest and lands on you, does it hurt? Yes! A lot! It really, really hurtys a lot, actually!
- [When throwing the Karate Champ]
- Barry Smith: Just one more round to go, Chase!
- [While Chase shows Barry his kung fu skills]
- Barry Smith: Not bad! Ouch! Even I felt that! Ooh! Come on! Ooh, mate. Come on.
Not Being able to Accept the Black Belt[]
- Barry Smith: You have done well. [He grabs his black belt] Take this belt with you as a sign of your skill.
- Chase McCain: I can't accept this, Barry.
- Barry Smith: Why? [He notices his underpants, so he covers them] Ooh! Hello!

Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
You access this level after building a Serenity Bridge to reach the dojo in Bluebell National Park. (Look here for more information.)
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in the inner courtyard of the dojo. Your objective will be to build a Dragon, which will cost you 40,000 bricks. If you don't have the necessary bricks, go look for Super Bricks. First, destroy the lion statue to the right of the starting point to reveal a question mark scanner symbol. Use the Police suit on it to find a firework inside a leaf-covered trapdoor. Grab it and place it on a wooden stand located in the lower right corner of the center square. The firework will light up and fly towards the gong on the right, destroying it and dropping a dynamite. A large Super Brick will appear where the wooden support was. Grab it to increase your bricks by 10,000. Next, grab the dynamite with the Miner suit and place it in a barrel next to a silver pole in the lower right corner of the yard. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, lowering the height of the tallest pole. Before you get on it, go to the left side of the area. There, play and win a mini-game of getting the ball to its destination in a maze. This will reveal another firework. Grab it and place it on the wooden stand located in the lower left corner of the center square. The firework will fly and explode, forming a constellation of a fighter. This will reveal another large Super Brick. Grab it to further increase your bricks by 10,000. With two Super Bricks grabbed, climb the poles in the bottom right corner of the area to reach a walkway. There, move forward a little and use the Police suit to go down a ladder and reach the roof on the right side of the dojo. On the roof on the right side, go forward a little and walk to the right to find two dragon statues. Destroy the one on the right to lower another ladder and then destroy the one on the left to raise a lamp, which will be stuck to the bottom of the highest ceiling. Use the Police suit on the lamp to reach the upper floor. There, pull a chain next to a dragon statue to reveal a torch. Grab it and take it to two elements on the tower on the right to light them and raise a shelf with another firework. Grab it and place it on the wooden stand located in the upper right corner of the center square. The firework will fly and explode, forming another constellation of another fighter. This will reveal another large Super Brick, so grab it to continue increasing your bricks by 10,000. Go back to the place where the dragon statue is and pull the chain again to reveal another torch. Grab it and take it to the tower on the left to light up two more elements. This will raise another shelf with one more firework. Grab it and place it on the wooden stand located in the upper left corner of the center square. The firework will fly and explode, forming yet another constellation of another fighter. This will reveal one more large Super Brick. Grab it to increase your brick count by 10,000 once again. With all those Super Bricks grabbed, you should have 40,000 bricks. Go to the Super Build in the center and use the 40,000 bricks to build a Dragon. The Dragon will breathe fire at a sculpture, melting it and revealing a key. Grab the key, place it in the lock of the front doors, and turn it to open the dojo doors. Enter the dojo to access the next area.
In the next area, you will be inside the dojo. Go straight ahead and grab a gong mallet to the north. Use it to hit the gong on the left hard, playing a cutscene. When the scene ends, you will be learning kung fu. Show Barry what you can do by throwing a Karate Guy. By doing this, Barry will send you three Karate Guys so you can learn how to throw enemies. Press the attack button when you are near them to throw them. After launching the three Karate Guys, Barry will send you three more so you can learn how to counter an enemy attack. When the nearby Karate Guy starts attacking you, quickly press the alternate attack button to counter the attack. Repeat this three times and Barry will teach you how to grab enemies and throw them at others. Press the action button to grab the nearby Karate Guy and hold the attack button to make a targeting circle appear. Move the targeting circle towards a Karate Guy and release the attack button to launch the grappled Karate Guy at the targeted one. Repeat this three times and Barry will send you a Karate Champ so you can learn how to fight strong enemies. Try to grab the Karate Champ and you will see that he will try to counter your grab. Press the action button quickly to successfully grab the Karate Champ and throw him towards an object or Karate Guy. By doing this, Barry will send you his four Karate Guys and two Karate Champs to test your kung fu skills. Defeat the six karate fighters using your kung fu skills to finish the level.
