The game uses side-scrolling stages where players fight through groups of enemies and bosses. You can choose Captain Commando, Mack, Ginzu, or Baby Head, each with different reach, speed, and attack style. Players use standard attacks, jumps, throws, and a health-consuming special move for crowd control. Weapons such as guns and knives can be picked up, and some sections let players ride mechanized units for extra firepower. Progress comes from clearing each stage and defeating its boss.
Captain Commando

Mack the Knife
An alien mummy fighter with long reach and unusual attacks.
Ginzu the Ninja
A fast ninja character focused on agility and quick combos.
Baby Head

Try to control space rather than rushing forward constantly. Save your special move for emergency escapes when enemies surround you. Learn each character's strengths: Mack is strong at range, Ginzu excels at speed, and Baby Head handles tougher enemies well. Use weapons and rideable machines whenever possible, especially before boss fights, to reduce risk and preserve health.
