The game uses a side-scrolling perspective, with players choosing one of four characters to fight through sequential stages. Core actions include moving, jumping, and shooting, while some scenes add riding segments or special set pieces. Stages are filled with enemy waves, hazards, and boss encounters, requiring constant movement and careful positioning. Progress is stage-based, and cooperative play adds extra appeal to the full arcade run.

Strategy
Learn enemy spawn points in each stage so you are not trapped by sudden attacks near the screen edges. During boss fights, watch for fixed attack rhythms and attack during recovery windows after jumps or patterns. In co-op, spread out your positions and cover different angles instead of stacking together. In riding or special scenes, survival and route memory matter more than reckless offense.
