Description

CX-5247. Rarity 3 scarce. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players simultaneous.
The game freely allows for cooperative or competitive play without enforcing either. Indeed, its is very enjoyable for players to agree to cooperate on dispatching enemies, competing over coins, but stop short of trying to kill each other. Hit the platform from below to disable enemies walking above. Then kick 'em while their down to remove them from the screen. A disabled, or ignored enemy will eventually come back stronger and faster. Collect 5 of the coins generated by defeating enemies to advance to the next level. A lot like the arcade version except for a more animated death.
