Facts from the source article.
Plot
Scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his younger brother Dr. Percy Frankenstein are chased from their hometown by an angry mob after their creations Frank, Drac, and Wolfie scare the villagers. The scientists and monsters settle in Monsterland. One night, the three monsters go out while Victor works on a creation to regain the villagers' trust, but he disappears before finishing it. The monsters search for him and meet two depowered monsters, Mina and Drew, who stay at Victor's lab. They discover Percy kidnapped Victor and unleashes his creation Sergeant Smash. After defeating Sergeant Smash, Percy is crushed by his own creation, Victor is rescued, and he restores Mina and Drew's powers.
Gameplay
The gameplay resembles Gauntlet, shown from a top-down perspective. Players control one of three monsters—Frank, Drac, or Wolfie—plus unlockable characters Mina and Drew. They fire projectiles at enemies and collect atoms to buy power-ups and healing items between levels. Each level has two stages set in horror-themed locations such as a cemetery or laboratory, followed by a trial level with a specific objective; failing the trial forces a boss fight. Two players can fight each other when the Game Boy Advance is linked.
