Gameplay[edit]

The players take control of the genius scientist Yūichirō Tomari (泊裕一郎 Tomari Yūichirō?) and his Chinese assistant Sunday Chin (サンデー珍 Sandē Chin?) as they attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancée, Kana Aibara (相原香奈 Aibara Kana?) from the evil Dr. Kubota (Dr. クボタ Dokutā Kubota?) and his army of robotic minions. The enemies all follow preset patterns, and killing a group of smaller ones or a larger one leaves crystals behind that can be collected and exchanged for special weapons, extra lives, and even more crystals at the "Kūchū IN" run by the blue-haired woman Miyuki-chan (みゆきちゃん Miyuki Chan?) and by firing out marbles at the extendable rotating target of the big white-handed robot Dream Co., Ltd. (夢有限会社 Yūme Yūgengaisha?). This game has a total of seven rounds, and a boss is fought at the end of each one. One hit will kill Yūichirō and Sunday, unless either of them has the "Stock bomber shot", as Pac-Man and the shield he is generating will protect them from death for one non-projectile hit.
