4 | ->''The year is 2068. Things have changed. The [[WorldWarIII Millenium Wars]] ruined the World's cities. The [[ThePlague Grey Tremor Plague]] of 2017 [[DepopulationBomb reduced the population by a third]]. Radiation from the Thanatos Meltdown radically altered the gene pool. Technology advanced. Bioengineers have created [[FunnyAnimal Animal-Human hybrids]]. Athletes are commonly enhanced with [[{{Cyborg}} bionics]]. [[TheAlternet The Cybernet]], a fiber-optic communication network, links everything. The rage of the Cybernet is [[TitleDrop Bodyslam]]!'' |
5 | -->-- Opening Narration |

7 | A BeatEmUp made by Animation Magic for the Platform/PhilipsCDi in 1994. |

9 | The story begin as a team unusually composed of pure-breed humans called the "Naturals" join the popular show ''[[DeadlyGame Bodyslam]]'', hosted by L. Wolf Jam (often called "L. Wolf" in-game). This doesn't please current champion Hectro-Genocite, who vows to defeat the Naturals to prove his belief that humans are obsolete. The story is presented by interviews conducted by L. Wolf with Hectro-Genocite and the other teams between each fight. |

11 | Made by the same animators as ''VideoGame/IMMeen'' and the first two CD-i ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Legend of Zelda]]'' games, it features the same brand of deranged [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQhvpzjwfZI animated cutscenes]] and terrible acting, along with obnoxiously repetitive dialogue and ridiculous racial stereotypes. |

13 | ---- |
14 | !!This game provide examples of: |
15 | |
16 | * AfterTheEnd: The game is set in the future year of 2068, set after "The Millennium Wars," "The Grey Tremor Plague of 2017" and "The Thanatos Meltdown." |
17 | * TheAlternet: "The Cybernet, a fiber-optic communication network, links everything." |
18 | * AnimationBump: The part of the intro where L. Wolf introduces the Naturals is actually quite good, especially in comparison of the rest of Animation Magic's output. |
19 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: Apparently, radical alteration of the gene pool means humans can suddenly give birth to pterodactyls. |
20 | * BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio: Daemon Stone is balanced, Tory Swift is fast but weak, Rack Saxxon is slow but strong. |
21 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Sort of. The one female member of the Naturals merely has a couple of teeth knocked out at the end of the game, as opposed to the two male members, who both have black eyes and are clearly bleeding. |
22 | * BrokenRecord: Hectro-Genocite. You'd think his opinion on the Naturals would change. |
23 | * CaptainObvious: The unfortunate doctor in the intro. |
24 | -->'''''IT'S A MUTANT!''''' |
25 | * CatGirl: Tina Felina, one of the bosses. |
26 | * DeadlyGame: The "game" in question being urban gang-warfare. |
27 | * DerangedAnimation: To be expected by the animation team that gave us the other infamous CD-i titles. |
28 | * FacePalm: L. Wolf does this whenever one of the mutant team members is defeated. |
29 | * FantasticRacism: The mutants hate humans. Given how Hectro-Genocite often talks about "the better breeds", it seems that there is racism between different kinds of mutants as well. |
30 | -->'''Masher Komodo:''' Humans, we love to hurt them! |
31 | * FullMotionVideo: The animated cutscenes were provided by the same people who made the cutscenes for ''Link: The Faces of Evil'' & ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''. |
32 | * GayParee: One of the locations you fight in. |
33 | * GreatOffscreenWar: The Millennium Wars. |
34 | * IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Easy is “Wimpy”, medium is “Savage” and hard is “Insane”. |
35 | * MirrorBoss: One of the enemies in the Beijing level copies your character during the boss battle. |
36 | * MsFanservice: Tina Felina, the CatGirl boss, wears nothing but a skimpy yellow bikini and has obviously erect nipples. |
37 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: L. Wolf Jam is a furry caricature of the late Creator/WolfmanJack. |
38 | * NoIndoorVoice: HECTRO-GENOCITE. |
39 | * ProductionThrowback: One of the generic enemy types is called "[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Impa]]". |
40 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Street Sharks: |
41 | -->'''Budo Shinkage:''' The other teams, Mister Jam... ''lack'' the will to destroy. For us, it is a matter of honor... and enjoyment! |
42 | * SceneryGorn: Some of the levels backgrounds are rather impressive for the time. |
43 | * SignatureLine: '''THE KOMODOS WEAR SISSY PANTS!''' or '''THE NATURALS MUST BE USING SOME KIND OF GUN!''' |
44 | * StockFootage: The same two bits of animation for both L. Wolf and Hectro-Genocite are endlessly reused. |
45 | * StrictlyFormula: Never mind the animation, the dialogue itself seems to have been written by a mad-lib program. |
46 | -->'''L. Wolf:''' ''Ooh-wee!'' The Naturals left the [defeated team] in the [x]! What's your hit on these Naturals? |
47 | -->'''Hectro-Genocite:''' [Defeated team] are [x], L. Wolf! Wait until the Naturals fight somebody [y]! |
48 | --->''or'' |
49 | -->'''Hectro-Genocite:''' Cheaters, L. Wolf! The [x] must be [y]! There is NO WAY humans can [z]! |
50 | * {{Transhuman}}: "Bio-engineers have created animal-human hybrids. Athletes are commonly enhanced with bionics." |
51 | * VerbalTic: '''OOH-WEE!''' |
52 | * YouAreACreditToYourRace: After you win, L. Wolf Jam says "Congratulations, Naturals! You guys surprised us all!" |
