When the new mayor, pro wrestler turned politician Mike Haggar, promises to clean up the city, the Mad Gear Gang, under the leadership of the crooked businessman Belger, kidnaps his daughter Jessica and warns him not to interfere. When Haggar finds out about his daughter's abduction, he becomes furious and decides to take his fight against Mad Gear to a personal level.
Seeking additional manpower, Haggar recruits Cody Travers, an expert fighter and Jessica's boyfriend, and Guy, a ninja in training and Cody's good friend and rival. The three dedicate themselves to the complete eradication of the Mad Gear Gang and to rescue Jessica from their clutches.
Gameplay
The game is a belt-scrolling beat-'em-up that can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Gameplay consists of continually moving to the right, defeating any enemies that appear on the way to each stage's boss with a variety of hand-to-hand attacks, such as punches, kicks, and throws. Player can choose between three main characters, each with his own fighting style and attributes. The game is split into six areas, each representing a different part of Metro City. Rounds are split into several smaller sub-stages. At the end of each stage is a powerful boss enemy that must be defeated before continuing.
Characters move by pressing the D-Pad in any direction and jump with or . Characters attack with . Each character has a basic combo that can performed by rapidly hitting the attack button, several attacks that can be performed while in the air, and the ability to grab opponents by walking close to them. While grappling an enemy, the character can either attack an enemy three times before letting them go or throw them in another direction. Enemies can be thrown at each other for additional damage. All three characters also have a special attack, performed with + or +, that knocks away all opponents surrounding them. This attack costs a small amount of health if it connects and cannot be performed if the player does not have enough health. Barrels, trash cans, and other objects can be broken to reveal food to restore health, items which increase the player's score, and weapons (knives, swords, and pipes). Items are picked up by pressing while standing over them.
Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters. The game ends if the player's character loses all of his health, though it can be continued from the point where the character was defeated if the player has credits remaining.
Exclusive to this version of the game is a Time Attack mode where players fight an onslaught of enemies for either 99 seconds or until they are defeated twice. Score is counted by the number of enemies defeated before the mode ends.

Knife | |
---|---|
Knives can be thrown across the screen at enemies as a projectile weapon. Cody can also use knives to stab enemies in close range. | |
Sword | |
Swords provide extra range. There are two swords, the Masamune and the slightly stronger Muramasa. Guy, the sword expert of the trio, is more swift and deadly with them. | |
Pipe | |
An iron pipe. Like swords, pipes are especially effective against clumped together enemies. Haggar attacks faster and has longer reach than the others with pipes. |

History
Legacy
The game was re-released on all versions of the Mega Drive Mini 2 in 2022.
Versions
Though restricted by the 64-color palette and an on-screen limit of four enemies at a time (in contrast to the arcade's whopping ten enemies on-screen), the game offers an arranged CD soundtrack, voice-acted cutscenes and an exclusive time attack mode. Content-wise, the Mega-CD version is a more complete port of the game than the earlier Super NES version published by Capcom in 1990, as it contains all three playable fighters and all six stages, as well as retaining the two-player co-op mode from the arcade.
When brought to the Western market, the female characters Poison and Roxy were censored so that they wore less revealing clothing. The introduction was also altered slightly as Jessica was not wearing a shirt in the Japanese version. The boss characters Damnd and Sodom were renamed to Thrasher and Katana respectively.
The PAL version has one less credit than the Japanese version, health restoring items seem to appear less frequently, a short dialogue between Cody and Guy during the ending was cut, and a palette bug can happen in the bar in the West Side stage, causing people and the barkeeper to have a brownish tone. The PAL version was partially speed optimized, as forcing the game into 60 Hz mode makes it run too fast.
