You must rescue your captured comrade and stop their plans of world domination. A hostile enemy force called the BADDS, is resurrecting the plans of a fallen army to build a giant war machine to take over the world. The NES port features a full story and a fair amount of dialogue making it vastly more interesting than the arcade original.
