The game uses a side-scrolling beat 'em up structure where players control Battletoads and Double Dragon characters, attacking with punches, kicks, jumps, throws, and special moves. Some stages introduce high-speed chases, precision platforming, and vehicle-based segments, so both combat and movement matter. Progress is linear, with each stage ending after specific enemy waves or scenario objectives are cleared.

Strategy
Focus first on ranged enemies and attackers with throws to avoid getting surrounded. Use jump kicks and quick recovery attacks to control space, and against larger enemies try to attack from angles or use throws to break their guard. In fast stages, memorize hazards in advance and stay cautious instead of rushing for extra hits.
