Game Introduction

You must recover DJ's stolen boom box. DJ and OJ skate through five different neighborhoods filled with a variety of bizarre characters. Collect the musical notes that appear from the defeated "big, bad guys" to earn stars, which when accumulated, earn extra lives.

Game Play

A player can defend himself using the punch, kick and jump buttons. By using different button combinations, the player can execute more elaborate moves. Repeatedly pressing the same buttons will cause DJ to perform various kinds of punches and kicks. When a player falls, shaking the joystick will allow him to get up more quickly.
