-When [[Bart]] signed up for karate lessons at [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s [[Springfield Martial Arts Academy|dojo]], he found Akira's teaching style to be boring and used the money for the lessons to play ''Touch of Death'' instead. He later bragged that "Touch of Death" was a move he had learned during his lessons, and threatened to use it on [[Lisa]]. The deception backfired (and Bart was caught out) when [[Dolph]], [[Jimbo]] and [[Kearney]] stole Lisa's saxophone and played keep-away with it. Lisa then sicced Bart on the bullies, warning them that he knew karate.  Not really having any karate skills, Bart was at a loss and ended up being hung from a basketball hoop by his underwear.<ref>"[[When Flanders Failed]]"</ref>

 === Gameplay ===
-Typical for arcade fighting games, in ''Touch of Death'' the player uses the controls to perform various moves on his/her opponent. Succesful hits inflict damage. When the opponent has taken a fatal amount of damage, the player can perform a finishing move (the titular "Touch of Death") which kills the opponent and causes the opponent's ghost to rise up out of his body.
