The Dark Queen has kidnapped two of the Battletoads, Rash and Pimple. You take the role of Zitz, the third Battletoad, and it`s up to you to save your friends from the Queen. In order to rescue your buddies you will have to travel to the Planet Armagedda, where you will have to fight through swamps, caverns, and the belly of the evil Wurm.

Five playable characters are now available – Zitz, Rash and Pimple from Battletoads, and Jimmy and Billy from Double Dragon. Each fighter has their own style, yet the gameplay remains consistent no matter whom you choose. The action is definitely more Battletoads than Double Dragon, but Rare does a fine job at connecting the two universes without making it seem forced or arbitrary.
