It plays like a fairly average PlatformGame, crossed with a FightingGame: our heroes are able to perform a variety of special moves with specific button and joystick movement combinations. It also has a very peculiar art style, which looks like a homage/parody of American comic book and cartoon characters, complete with [[WrittenSoundEffect Written Sound Effects]], many years before ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' made this style cool and fashionable.
