Gameplay

While generally classified as a scrolling beat 'em up, the game adds elements of a scrolling shooter because the player's character is also armed with a laser gun. The player chooses from four protagonists: Bucky O'Hare, a heroic rabbit captain; Jenny, an Aldebaran cat and telepath; Dead-Eye Duck, a four-armed mallard; and A.F.C. Blinky, a one-eyed android. As in the television series, the characters must stop the Toad Empire from invading planets and enslaving peoples by shooting through an army of brainwashed toads to destroy their evil leader, a computer program known as Komplex, and release the Interplanetary Life Force. Enemies include Al Negator, Toadborg, Total Terror Toad, a Cyborg Spider, Toad Storm Troopers, the Toads' Air Marshall, and Komplex-2-Go, all featured in the comic book and cartoon series continuities. Colorful animation and voice actors from the series were hired for the game's cutscenes.
