The in-game announcer mentions the stage name and number while in-between levels. It does this for every stage except for the first one, since the map isn't shown when the single-player starts. However, the game does have a sound clip for the very first stage that is never used.

While most versions of Art of Fighting end on a cliffhanger just before Yuri reveals the true identity of Mr. Karate to Ryo and Robert, the Super Nintendo version extends the ending to reveal that Mr. Karate is Ryo and Yuri's father Takuma, who was blackmailed by Geese Howard and Mr. Big into killing Jeff Bogard (Father of Terry from Fatal Fury)
