President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the Ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?
Stay on the ground or jump up a level. If you pushed up on the joystick the head on the character would look up so you can tell wether you wanted to jump or jump up to the platform above.
The Bosses at the end of each level include Karnov who blows fire at you, and a small character with long metal rods coming out his hands who appears when the truck stopped. There was a 'power punch' you could do to inflict more damage to your enemy. Hold the punch button down to build it up then release it when desired.
