Four high-ranking members of the Klaptons have taken control of four elemental planets. Big rewards are offered for the captures of Sly, Misty, Mr. Bigman and Dr. Burn.

An initial offering of 61,400 to get things started.

Unless you score above 53,000 you'll get hit with a continue before you can capture your score. In that case, I suggest reporting the score as best you can and include a screen shot of your progress.

99,900. Don't like this very much. I went forest -> wind because I hate ice levels. I love how my hero grabs an enemy and slams him to the other side, exposing my back to the next enemy in line. Very smart.

I have always had a soft spot for it, I love the 2 plane mechanic but its a tough game.

I played a couple of times so far.

I can score like 30,000.

I will keep playing. It is not a bad game.

110,000

This game randomly has hadukens and dragon punches. And some other special attack I haven't figured out. Also has the e Honda hand slap.

Sorry pbj. Too much drinky yesterday. I didn't get a chance to play more than 2 or 3 games.

I will play some more after work today.

I noticed those random attacks. Are they really random or is there a way to execute them?

There are basic special moves you can do out of the gate such as the honda slap (press a repeatedly) and 1/4 turn forwards A.

Other specials you can only use after collecting power ups.

Its quite a in depth game tbh and one I have never mastered.

But its great fun 2 player

I got over 50,000 and I fought the second boss, but lost.
I always like games where you can pick up your opponents and hurl them at their friends.

I would have been all over this one but I played this game to death when I consolized that mvs last year.  Fantastic game.
