Official description

This guy is like a bad habit, he just won't go away. Now this Evil Master dude and his legions of nimrods are poised above the planet in a space station, ready to make the planet one big black hole. Not only that, those blasted automadions (space slang for funky robot type guys) have captured Lexia (Not the car, the babe!) and are holding her prisoner aboard their space station.

Don't it just make your blood boil? Doesn't it make your skin crawl? Does it make your face turn red with anger? Is there steam coming out of your ears? Hold on, get a grip! We've been in this kind of fix before. Okay, okay, you're right, probably not this bad. But hey, this is a video game. There's always a good guy around somewhere. Get with the program!

It just so happens, that on the island of Moralos (you remember the secret base of the famous Striders) there is just the guy you're looking for. The most pumped up Strider of them all, Hinjo, is just waiting to punch these guy's lights out. Go ahead, grab that control pad and give it a shot, sound like a piece of cake... Wrong! This baby's not your every day space walk in the park! Strider's back and the fun is about to begin. Rumble on, Strider Dude!
