The game mixes side-scrolling stages with top-down segments, focusing on constant movement, jumping, shooting, and evasive dodging. Players can swap between weapons and power up their firepower with pickups. Some stages add Mode 7 rotation, chase sequences, and vehicle sections, while boss fights demand pattern recognition and quick positioning. Progress is stage-based, with limited forgiveness and frequent respawns after failure.

Bill Rizer
One of the series' main protagonists, appearing in robotic form in this European release to fight the alien army.
Lance Bean
The other lead protagonist, also presented as a robot in this version and fighting alongside Bill.
Keep a mid-range position whenever possible so you can attack while still reacting to incoming fire. Spread-type weapons are best for crowd control, while focused weapons work better on bosses. Learn the route and enemy spawn points in vehicle stages, and prioritize survival over speed in the most dangerous sections.
