As Eightman (or Nineman), both known for strength and speed, you and a friend alternate between levels of left-to-right scrolling beat-em-up action and chasing after a vehicle while enemies jump out at you. Power-ups will make your puches and kicks stronger as well as give you bombs which are used to dammage all enemies. If player one and two are touching, a spark will be between them and their bomb power will greatly increase. All other robots are enemies.
