The plot is simple: An evil gopher-like creature named Skriitch wants to help the mammals rule the world, so he casts a spell on the dinosaurs that turns them against one another to help him achieve that goal. However, main character Radical Rex, a skateboarding, fire-breathing, "[[TotallyRadical too hip to be extinct]]" T.rex, was unaffected by the spell. So he sets off to rescue the dinosaurs, which include his girlfriend, [[IncrediblyLamePun Rexanne]]. Strangely, the SNES version features a human wizard named Sethron as the BigBad, rather than Skriitch.
