Hard to say. I've read a couple of places that it was done in cooperation with Capcom, but the writer/director of the film is notorious for A) being ultra cheap and B) copyright infringement.

Speaking of Wong Jing, he did a film called Future Cops a few months after City Hunter that had characters that were thinly-veiled Street Fighter characters (and some from Doraemon too).

>Kung Fu Master was developed as a tie-in to the Jackie Chan movie Wheels on Meals (Spartan X in Japan).
I seriously doubt Kung-Fu Master was actually intended to be a Wheels on Meals tie-in to begin with. It seems like a pretty last minute change. If anything, it's more inspired by Bruce Lee's Game of Death.

My theory is that IREM approached Toho-Towa (who distributed both, Spartan X and GOD in Japan) to acquire the GOD license, but that movie was already a few years old by that time and Toho-Towa suggested to base the game on Spartan X instead, since that was their newest release at the time.

It wasn't until 1999's Sonic Adventure that the character was called both "Eggman" and "Robotnik" in the English version, with all following English releases to date referring to him as "Doctor Eggman". Yuji Naka has explained that "Robotnik" is the character's true last name while "Eggman" is a nickname taken after his shape. Since then, Sega of America has listed his identity as Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik at least once, and has recognized both the first name Ivo and the last name Robotnik as recently as 2011.
