The Dark Queen and her pigs are at it again. While witnessing the unveiling of a new virtual reality contraption, the Battletoads are surprised by four Psyko Pigs who crash into the room and kidnap Michiko Tashoku, daughter of the president of the corporation that created the machine. Zitz tries to prevent their escape, but he is knocked unconscious and taken away also. Now it is up to the remaining Battletoads, Rash and Pimple to rescue their buddy and Michiko in this side-scrolling punch and kick game.
This game can be played with one or two players, just like in the NES version. Both Battletoads are capable of many special fighting moves. The Sidearm Slice, Big Boot Block, and Ball 'N Chain are just a few of Rash's techniques. Pimple can execute, among other maneuvers, the Anvil Swipe, BT Big Hammer, Battletoad Butt, and Jaw-Buster. Throughout the eight levels of play, the 'Toads must face tons of obstacles, legions of Psyko Pigs, and a plethora of skeletons and other bad guys.
