Gameplay
You play as a kid on rollerskates beating up enemies in various auto-scrolling environments. punches (lower range, fast timing),
kicks (higher range, slow timing), and
jumps, with a variety of combo moves in between.
Versions
- The original Arcade verison have a number of lifes (you lose one by taking two hits) and a more stiff gameplay. The Mega Drive version instead, have a heath bar without extra lifes and continues.
- In the Japanese version of the Mega Drive port, the protagonist must save a girl. In other versions, he instead must recover his stolen radio.
- In Western releases, recurring opponent "Big Momma" was given a skin colour change (she throw donuts instead of farting), presumably to avoid depicting black stereotypes. Another boss that was changed is the final one (she became brunette instead of black).
