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
6
7	A BeatEmUp made by Animation Magic for the Platform/PhilipsCDi in 1994.
8
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.
10
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!"
