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)

Robert's design is based on actors Steven Seagal and Andy Garcia, and the character James Crockett from the Miami Vice series. The character artist, Shinkiro, expressed difficulties in designing Robert on the count of not knowing how rich people behaved.

Ryo's design is based on Ryu from Street Fighter. Since the game's creator, Takashi Nishiyama, also created the first Street Fighter game when he was employed at Capcom, the character was made as a homage to the series he created.

While the whole cast has visible head damage, King was originally planned to be the only character with chest damage. Some of the animations were seemingly complete before the feature got removed; her famous undressing KO" feature seems to be a leftover from it.

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.

There are unused voice clips for Ryo, Robert, and Yuri that likely relate to the game's climax where Yuri reveals the identity of Mr. Karate.
